⚠️ Parvo Virus

🐾 What is Parvo?

Parvo (Canine Parvovirus) is one of the most serious — and preventable — illnesses we see in dogs, especially puppies.

🐾 What You Need to Know About Parvo

🦠Highly Contagious: Parvo spreads through infected p**p, contaminated surfaces, and even on shoes or clothing and can live in the environment for months, even years.
🥺 Puppies Are Most at Risk: Unvaccinated puppies between 6 weeks and 6 months old are especially vulnerable.
⚠️ Symptoms: Severe vomiting, Bloody or foul-smelling diarrhea, Loss of appetite, Lethargy and weakness, Dehydration , Rapid weight loss

‼️Prevention:

💉 Vaccinate your puppy & keep boosters up to date
🐕 Avoid high-risk areas (dog parks, public spaces) until fully vaccinated
🧼 Wash hands, shoes, and clothing after contact with unknown dogs. Clean contaminated areas with a bleach solution (most cleaners do not kill parvo).

👉 Parvo can be deadly, but with quick veterinary care and proper vaccination, it can be prevented and managed. Always seek immediate help from your vet if you notice symptoms. 🧡

Halloween is just about a couple days away and while you enjoy all the spooky festivity’s don't forget to keep chocolate & candy out of reach from your pets! 🍬 🍫

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to both dogs and cats. Even small amounts can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heart rate, seizures, and in severe cases, can be fatal.
Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are especially dangerous!

What to do if your pet eats chocolate? 🍫

📞 Contact our team or the Pet Poison Helpline
(905-885-5321) immediately.
Keep those trick or treat baskets pet-safe, and enjoy your Halloween! 🎃 🐕 🐈‍⬛

Phoenix’s Story Could Help Save a Life 🐶🧡

Meet Phoenix, a 4 year-old labourer Dog (with the sweetest face) who recently came to us with a life-threatening infection called pyometra — a serious uterine infection that affects unspayed female dogs.

Thankfully, her family acted fast & Phoenix underwent emergency surgery at our clinic and is now home recovering well with her family. But not all dogs are so lucky — recognizing the signs early can save lives.

Symptoms of Pyometra to Watch For:

⚠️ Vaginal discharge (pus-like, smelly)
⚠️ Lethargy or low energy
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Swollen, painful belly
⚠️ Increased thirst & urination
⚠️ Fever & Vomiting

If your dog is intact (not spayed) and showing any of these symptoms, don’t wait — pyometra is an emergency.

Meet Caroline! 🐾
Caroline has been with us since our opening days. After making the jump from general practice to emerg medicine, she has been loving it ever since. She is honoured to recently accept the position of RVT supervisor. She strives in promoting a positive atmosphere and enjoys nursing care.

Prior to vet med, Caroline used to be a competitive snowboarder. She travelled all over the world for races and even trained in Chile for a month! This later led to her passion of becoming a Certified Companion Animal Physical Rehabilitator once she graduated tech school.

Outside of work, you can find her busy working on her homestead with her husband. They share their home with two cane corso dogs Denali and Denver, Franklin (cat), Ned and Donna (goats), honeybees, and now chickens!

Meet RVT Supervisor Victoria (right) and RVT/Manager Hillary (left)! 🩺

Both of these power house technicians have been with us since we opened and helped to develop our wonderful hospital.

Both of these ladies have much love for emergency medicine and stabilizing critical patients. They are both moms of three and own dogs so it is evident that they love staying busy at home and at work.

Hillary is a lover of german shepherds, not many can escape a snuggle from her! She also has more recently started performing some our ultrasounds in clinic and has a passion for ultrasonography. She enjoys a good challenge and loves to continue to grow in the field. Her compassion for each animal she works with is top notch 🐾

Victoria is our ECG wizard and can pick up any ECG related issue, fast! She is also a Registered Nurse so a lot of her skills transfer over to Veterinary Medicine! 💊 She is excellent at assisting with labour and delivery of both humans and animals! Victoria is dedicated to personal growth and development, she often jumps in to every situation confidently . She enjoys teaching our new technicians each day and working with them to broaden their skills.

Thank you for being a part of this busy profession! 🐈‍⬛
