eterinarian, please go to Smart.Vet. Verzijlenberg Veterinary Hospital is now offering online after-hours consultations for our canine and feline patients with an Ontario licensed veterinarian through a new partnership with Smart.Vet. You can then pick up the medication at Sundridge or South-River Pharmacy till 6:00pm, or the Shoppers Drug Mart in Huntsville till 10:00pm. On average, most cases can be completed remotely. In case your pet needs to be seen in person, the online veterinarian can refer you back to us for in-clinic care the following day, or refer you to the Huronia Emergency Hospital for emergency care. In these cases, the online veterinarian will call us or the emergency clinic to discuss the case and send the medical record of the virtual consultation. To submit a request, please go to https://smart.vet, and click ‘Get Started’. Once you’ve created an account, you can decide to send in a message or request a phone/video call. Please note that messages are meant for non-urgent cases and will be responded to within 8 hours of submission. When you’ve submitted a phone/video request, a veterinarian will reach out to you as soon as they’re available. Please just wait for a call from 289-768-8784 - this may take more than 20 minutes when we’re experiencing high call volumes. Once a request has been submitted, you can add additional notes about your pet’s condition/ concern or add images/videos to the consultation for the veterinarian’s reference. If you have any issues during scheduling, you can send an email to [email protected] and they will be happy to help you. Wishing you and your pet good health!

Eastern Equine Encephalitis(EEE) Confirmed in Sundridge Area! Our hospital received confirmation Friday evening that a horse in the Sundridge area tested positive for EEE. Equine encephalitis viruses—Eastern, Western, and West Nile virus are spread by infected mosquitos and can cause severe brain inflammation in horses and donkeys. Horses are a dead-end host for EEEV and, therefore, cannot transmit the virus to humans or other animals. Birds are the natural hosts for EEEV which is transmitted to horses and, in rare cases, to humans by mosquitoes which have bitten an infected bird. Observable signs can include impaired vision, aimless wandering, head pressing, circling, inability to swallow, irregular gait, weakness and paralysis, convulsions, and death. Many horses have a fever. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent Eastern equine encephalomyelitis in horses. In Ontario, horses must be vaccinated annually in the spring before the peak risk season, by early May at the latest. Vaccinated horses will be protected until the first hard frost. If a horse is being vaccinated for the first time, the protection period is calculated from the time it receives its booster. In the current situation, if a horse has not been vaccinated already, vaccinate as soon as possible and booster in the spring.

Friday, June 7, samples from two Crows in North Bay were confirmed positive for West Nile Virus! WNV is a serious disease that is transmitted through mosquito bites. For more information click https://www.ontario.ca/page/west-nile-virus-advice-horse-owners#:~:text=WNV%20infection%20in%20horses%20affects,occurs%20in%2025%25%20of%20cases or give us a call at 705-384-0400. There are vaccines approved for use in horses; they have been widely tested and are safe to use. WNV infection in horses affects the central nervous system. Symptoms range from listlessness, trembling, depression, loss of appetite, stumbling and in-coordination, weakness, head tilting and partial paralysis, to convulsions and even death. Fever occurs in 25% of cases. These symptoms can appear very rapidly and are similar to other nervous system diseases including rabies and equine encephalitis. Up to one-third of all horses showing clinical signs of WNV will die.
