Below is a video of a parasite egg from a f***l sample that has "hatched" and is now a larvae. From here they will either become a nymph or an adult depending on which parasite it is.

How can your animal get parasites?
Some organisms enter an animal when it swallows contaminated food or water and others can burrow through the skin.

How do you find parasites?
For large and small animals, in order to find what parasite is disturbing your animal, we would have to perform a f***l float. Sometimes we have to send the sample to a lab as they have more equipment to determine which parasite exactly,

How do you know your pet has parasites?
Symptoms for dogs and cats but are not limited to:
Scooting bum on floor, licking bum, distended belly, loose stool, physically see worms coming out of their bum or in their p**p. To the worse extent, refusal to eat and lethargic.
Symptoms for large animals, but are not limited to:
Diarrhea, not eating, lethargic, weight loss and poor hair coat.
Disclaimer: These symptoms may be a start of a parasite infection, but they are symptoms of many other diseases your animals could encounter. Please see a veterinarian if your animal is showing any of these symptoms.

Madeline Christensen,

For those who have come into the clinic these past 6 weeks, you may have ran into Madeline. Madeline has been doing her practicum here for Veterinary Technician. Sadly, today is her last day on her journey with us! Your hard work and dedication in this industry will take you far. Congratulations Maddy and wishing you all the luck in your future endeavors!

Maddy's favourite parts working at RVC:
"My top 3 favourite parts of working here were scrubbing in on a leg amputation, watching a fetotomy be preformed and the welcoming and kind staff of the clinic."

Poison Prevention Awareness Month

There are many medications and supplements that people require daily! While they are important for us as people, they can be very toxic to our pets. Ensure they are all stored safely so that your pets cannot access them!

Also ensure you are seeking advice from a Veterinarian before you administer any supplements or medications to your pet. Even with good intentions, we can do more harm than good.

Check back next Saturday for our next Poison Awareness Spotlight! ~Toxic Foods~
