When Hercules’s owners lost their beloved pup of almost 16 years, they were devastated. Losing him left such a huge void in their lives that theyy started looking at rescues to adopt and weren’t expecting to be contacted right away. Luckily, they were contacted by and Reuben came into their lives one week later! Reuben, you are such a lucky puppy to join such a wonderful family!

GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING…Meet Hope, the bravest little chihuahua! Hope saw Dr. Waters after her owner noticed that she seemed painful. Dr. Waters found wounds on her side and was worried she had been bitten by another dog. Hope was x-rayed to investigate the extent of her wounds.

Hope’s x-rays (swipe right) showed that her abdominal wall had been punctured and her intestines were protruding through this hole. This type of injury (called a traumatic abdominal wall hernia) can cause damage to the intestinal tract that can be life threatening.

Dr. Waters and Dr. Baird went to surgery right away to gently move Hope’s intestines back into her abdomen and close the hole in her abdominal wall (third photo). Luckily there was no damage to any of Hope’s internal organs. Her bite wounds were treated and closed and Hope stayed in hospital for a couple of days for us to monitor her recovery.

She is now three weeks post surgery, her wounds have healed and she has completely recovered! What a champ!

How cute (and totally unimpressed 😂) is Revy after her spay?

Happy New Year from Guara! She’s a breed we don’t see very often - a Silken Windhound 😍

Holiday plants like holly and mistletoe can be concerning to pets. Ingestion of holly leaves or berries may cause gastrointestinal upset and lethargy if ingested by a dogs other symptoms include drooling, lip smacking and head shaking.
Mistletoe is generally hung high enough that it is out of our pet’s reach. There are two main types of mistletoe commonly used, and thankfully the American mistletoe causes mild signs of gastrointestinal irritation if ingested. However if a large amount of American mistletoe is ingested or any amount of European mistletoe is consumed, an abnormal heart rate and high blood pressure may develop

Antifreeze contains ethylene glycol, which is highly toxic to pets even in small amounts. Pets are attracted to it by its sweet smell and taste. Some snow globes can also contajn ethylene glycol. Intact snow globes are perfectly safe, but if a snow globe is broken, ingestion of the liquid by a pet may lead to severe kidney damage and may be fatal.

12/22/2023

With all the exciting new toys and electronics being unwrapped over the next week, be sure to keep batteries away from your pets, especially dogs. When chewed on or punctured, alkaline batteries leak a caustic substance that can burn your pet’s mouth, esophagus, or stomach. If your pet swallows a portion of a battery or a whole battery, it may also cause an obstruction or an intestinal blockage. Small disc batteries can also get lodged in your pet’s esophagus and cause burns if not punctured.

12/21/2023

Sugar-free sweeteners: During the holidays, the presence or sugar-free sweeteners like xylitol in festive treats poses a significant danger to pets, particularly dogs. Accidental ingestion of xylitol-laden items can swiftly lead to a dangerous drop in blood sugar levels and potentially fatal complications. Symptoms of xylitol poisoning in dogs are associated with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) such as decreased activity, weakness, staggering, incoordination, collapse and seizures

12/20/2023

Twinkle lights ✨: Twinkle lights, though festive, can pose a danger to pets due to potential electric shock if chewed on or tangled in by curious animals. Keeping a close eye on pets around these lights and ensuring cords are securely hidden can prevent accidental ingestion or electrical accidents during the holiday season.

What a way to start the morning - just Jaxson the Great Dane bringing us full holiday cheer 🎅🎄🎁

12/17/2023

Essential oils and potpourri: Essential oils pose a risk, as ingestion of them can cause oral irritation, ulcers or chemical burns, as well as difficulty breathing. If you do not want to use diffusers, limit them to large, well-ventilated rooms and out of reach from your pets. Dried potpourri can also be toxic depending on the types of plants that are in the potpourri. Even if the potpourri is not made of any toxic plants, the oil and plants that make up the potpourri, if ingested, may cause issues.

12/15/2023

Lilies: You may receive a beautiful bouquet of flowers over the holidays, but be cautious about any that contain lilies, especially if you have a cat at home. Lilies are extremely toxic to cats - just a nibble of the leaves or petals, pollen, or ingestion of the water from the vase can cause acute kidney failure and may even be fatal.

12/14/2023

Tinsel and other holiday decorations: Tinsel, yarn or ribbon, and string tied around the turkey are hazardous to pets that ingest them. Cats especially like to play with long stringy objects and their spiky tongues latch onto these items and do not let go. When ingested, one end can be anchored in the upper digestive tract, while the other end keeps trying to pass, bunching in the intestines. Some signs of a linear foreign body may include: vomiting, dehydration, decreased appetite, hiding, abdominal pain, and lethargy.

Cali’s here to remind everyone that age is just a number! This sweet (almost 15 year old) girl is recovering so well after we amputated her toe to remove a rapidly growing mass. And don’t worry - despite the logo on her bo**ie she’s a Maple Leafs fan through and through!

12/11/2023

Turkey 🍗: It may be tempting to give your pet a taste of a holiday meal, but a rich fatty meal can cause vomiting and diarrhea and may cause pancreatitis. Pancreatitis cases are increased when turkey scraps are given to pets, especially to breeds predisposed to pancreatitis including Shetland Sheepdogs, Miniature Schnauzers, and Yorkshire Terriers. Bones should also be advoided, especialyl turkey bones. Poultry bones can easily splinter and may cause intestinal blockages or perforations.

12/08/2023

We will be posting 12 days of holiday pet hazards to avoid in your pets these next few weeks leading up to Christmas!

Chocolate🍫: As the holiday season approaches, chocolate can be harmful for pets. Dogs are four times more likely to suffer from chocolate toxicity this time of the year. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is in higher levels in darker chocolate or baking chocolate. Symptoms can include vomiting, increased heart rate, sometimes agitation and restlessness. In high amounts it may cause seizures and it can also be fatal. It is also a concern if a dog ingests not only a large amount of chocolate, but also the chocolate wrappers that can act as a potential foreign body on the stomach.

Stay tuned for more holiday hazards!

Kona, a 6 year old Aussiedoodle came in for her first complete and oral health assessment and treatment (aka dentistry)! Her regular diet is prescription Hills dental care, but she was in need of a professional cleaning and her breath is now so fresh and her teeth are now tartar-free! 😁🦷

We’re so happy to see Barbara find her forever home! We first met this sweet Bengal through our work with the Oakville Milton Humane Society and saw her this week with her forever family. One of the most rewarding things is watching these patients find loving homes.

Charlie’s family has had retrievers for over 20 years and Charlie is the 4th generation who has been entrusted to our care. One of the best parts of our profession is being part of all the seasons of our clients lives while caring for their furry family members.

October is RVT (registered veterinary technician) Month and we are so grateful for our very own RVTs, Michelle, Sarah, Alyssa and Katharine!

Veterinary Technicians wear so many hats! They are highly knowledgeable professionals dedicated to helping ainmals and their people. Vet techs are nutritionists, phlebotomists, cat wranglers, and pain relievers. They are x-ray technicians, dental hygienists, belly rubbers, and pharmacists, and lab technicians. They are physical therapists, helping hands, life savers, and eye-boogie picking experts.❤️‍🩹💉💊🦸🏼‍♀️

THANK YOU Michelle, Sarah, Alyssa, and Katharine for all that you do! 🫶🏼

If you happen to see one of our vet techs these next couple weeks, be sure to thank them! They have one of the toughest jobs both emotionally and physically. 🐾🩺

One of our patients had a few 🤢 friends tagging along today. It’s still warm enough for ticks to be active so make sure you are continuing your preventative medication this month!

Jumping into the week like Oakley

Sooooo, this happened in Kerr Village tonight. The legendary @jimcuddyofficial set the tone for the first annual HolidayFest in @townofoakville presented by the @kerrvillagebia. We wanna know if you were there……respond 👇 #kerrvillagebia #oakville #jimcuddyband

Giving rewards to all our new puppies during their appointments helps make coming to the vet fun and stress free. Even things that seem small - like standing on a table - are important skills for a puppy at the vet and treats help us reward this good behaviour. Auggie loves her wet food and was so brave for her appointment! #americanbulldog #americanbullies #bulldogsofinstagram #bulldoglove #puppylove #oakville #oakvillevet

What a way to end the day, with Quinn and her non-stop wagging tail! One of the most rewarding parts of our job is getting to see patients and their families through all the stages of their lives. In Quinn’s case her family was finally ready to open their hearts and home to a new puppy after losing their senior Lab. To be trusted with the next generation in your family is always a joy for us. #weloveourjob #familyiseverything #muttsofinstagram #muttlovers #jackrussellterrier #jrtlove #jrtpuppy #chihuahuasofinstagram #chihuahua #oakville #oakvillevet

We know that even after getting used to months of curbside visits it’s still hard to wait in your car while your fur baby comes into the clinic without you. But as you can see from Mika and Dr. Warren we always make sure your pet gets love, reassurance and great care! #weloveourjob #behindthescenes #fearfree #fearfreepets #germanshepherdlovers #germanshepherdsofinstagram #tplorecovery

Happy hump day from hamster Jeffrey! How adorable is this little guy with those 🐿 cheeks? #hamstersofinstagram #hamstergram #pocketpet #smallanimalsofinstagram #oakville #oakvillevet #burlington #burlingtonvet

Look at Findlay go! Findlay has had a long road to recovery after an accident in June when he dislocated both his hips. We proceeded to do hip surgery (a femoral head ostectomy) to alleviate his pain. However, needing surgery on both legs simultaneously meant he needed long term physiotherapy and rehabilitation to regain his strength. The team at @soarvetservices has done an amazing job helping to get him to this point with his water treadmill workouts and stability exercises! #whatatrooper #physiotherapy #doggierehab #rehab #fho #femoralheadostectomy #muttlove #rescuedogsofinstagram

One of our goals is to make every visit a happy, positive experience for your pet. You can see that Tyson is perfectly comfortable getting his vaccines (he actually doesn’t even notice) because Dr. Warren is directing his attention to a delicious treat. This is called positive reinforcement - giving a reward (food or otherwise) when performing a behaviour we’re looking for (standing calmly and getting vaccines). Can you believe Tyson is only 4 months old and he’s already so good at this! Get out those rewards 🎾🥏🦴and try practicing positive reinforcement at home for nail trims, or handling sensitive areas like the ears/feet/tail. #fearfree #fearfreepets #happyvisits #loveourjob #happypuppy #oakville #oakvillevet #burlingtonvet

Helmet might have started on a farm, but he’s decided being worshiped by suburban humans is much more his style. Check out those little paws kneading the air he’s so happy 🐾

What a day for Dr Warren and Katie - they got to meet Harper (Great Pyrenees) and Tequila (German Shepherd) - who seem to really love their puppy pate. All you new puppy owners, don’t forget to come in for positive social visits!! As well, we are so proud of all of our high-school graduates. Katie is on her way to Guelph next year. Congrats Katie. #puppiesofinstagram #pupplove #puppysocialization #weloveourjob #oakvillepuppies #oakvillevet #kerrvillage #congratshighschoolgrad

Those ears you could almost mop the floor with! Those wrinkles! That little wagging tail! We fell in love with everything about Kiki the baby Basset Hound 💕💕

PARASITES - Protect your pet (and yourself)! If this video gives you the creepy crawlies you’re not alone! Ticks are a parasite we see frequently and this tick was actually found on a client 🙈! The good news is dog and cat heartworm and tick prevention protects against both ticks AND ear mites! Don’t forget to pick up your pets protection for the season! 🦟 #parasiteprotection #tickseason #tickprotection #heartwormprevention #oakville #oakvillevet #kerrvillage
