With Spring in full bloom, keep an eye out for these common issues that can pop up during the season:
🤧 Allergies – Scratching, licking, chewing, scooting, ear discharge, hair loss, or skin changes
🐜 Fleas & Ticks – More pests = higher risk of bites & disease
🌱 Grass & Pollen Sensitivities – Paw licking, skin irritation, or hot spots
🚫 Spring Toxins – Fertilizers, pesticides, and certain plants can be harmful
If your pet is showing any of these signs, contact your family vet today for relief options and to keep it feeling its best.

Our little Olivia likes to steal elastics and eat plants in our waiting room. She started vomiting after she ate, and we thought it might be hairballs. But when it didn't stop, we did x-rays.
Luckily, whatever it was that she ate had already reached the colon. If it hadn't, she might have needed surgery.

**Cats are often picky about what they eat, but in an emergency clinic, we see them eating all sorts of things, such as elastics, needles, thread, tinsel, yarn, and many other small objects.

On the other hand, dogs are known for eating anything they can find, so it’s no surprise they sometimes swallow unusual objects.
Surgery is needed when a pet eats something that can't be thrown up or passed through its system. This can happen if the object gets stuck in the throat, stomach, or intestines. If it reaches the large intestine, it usually passes out on its own.

While eating foreign objects is one of the most common reasons for surgery, it’s not the only one. Pets can also get foreign materials stuck in their mouths, get impaled on sticks or fences, or inhale or step on things like glass or thorns, all of which may require surgery to remove. (CVMA 2012)

Please watch what might be lying around, pick it up and throw it out.
