🐾 What is pancreatitis? It's inflammation of the pancreas! 😿
Several factors can contribute to it - trauma, high-fat meals, obesity, tumors, and more. The most common culprit? High-fat treats like hot dogs or hamburgers. 🍔 While they may seem harmless, they can quickly make your pets feel sick. Keep your fur babies healthy by sticking to their regular balanced diet!
🚨 Attention pet parents! 🚨
Thinking about feeding your furry friend a raw diet? 🍖💭 Before you do, consider this: nutritional deficiencies, harmful bacteria, and even parasites can be lurking in those raw meals. Did you know nearly 25% of raw food samples tested positive for harmful bacteria? Some of these bugs can even transfer to your family. 😱 Talk to your veterinarian today about the safest and healthiest diet options for your pet! 🐾
🐱 Make sure your feline friend gets their essential nutrients! Taurine is a must-have amino acid for cats, crucial for their health and development.

Spring is here, and it's time to explore the great outdoors with your pet! 🌻 Whether you're hiking, camping, or just enjoying a stroll in the park, here are some tips to keep your furry companion safe and happy:
1️⃣ Check the Weather: Before heading out, make sure the weather is suitable for your pet. Extreme temperatures can be dangerous, so plan accordingly.
2️⃣ Pack Essentials: Bring plenty of water, a collapsible bowl, snacks, a leash, waste bags, and any necessary medications for your pet.
3️⃣ Update ID Info: Ensure your pet's ID tags are up-to-date with your current contact information. Microchipping is also highly recommended for added security.
4️⃣ Watch for Hazards: Keep an eye out for potential hazards like toxic plants, wildlife, steep cliffs, or busy roads. Stay on marked trails whenever possible.
5️⃣ Respect Wildlife: Keep your pet under control and avoid disturbing wildlife. It's essential to maintain a safe distance from any animals you encounter.
6️⃣ Protect Against Pests: Use flea and tick prevention, especially in wooded areas. Check your pet for ticks after your adventure.

🐾 Is your furry friend shaking their head or scratching at their ears? It could be a sign of Otitis Externa or pesky ear mites!

Did you know that we offer 4DX blood parasite testing at Blue Sky Animal Hospital?
This test is run in-house, gives results within 10 minutes and checks for exposure to Heartworm, Lyme, and the 2 other tick-borne diseases that your pet may have been exposed to.
Ticks can be active any time the weather is 4°C and above and can be tricky to spot in dense or long fur. An annual blood test, along with monthly flea/tick preventatives, ensures that your pet's health is protected.
In the past two weeks, we have had 2 newly diagnosed positive Lyme disease cases from pets who are local to North Bay, which means it is now endemic in the area.
Call today to book a quick 15-minute appointment with one of our RVTs and discuss your pet's preventative care.
