We are welcoming veterinary student Hannah, who today is starting her second week of a two-week externship at our clinic.

Hannah is originally from Thornhill and is in her final year of veterinary studies at the University of Edinburgh. Despite the distance of studying across the pond, Hannah wanted to do her externship with us because she is passionate about exotic animals and has an interest in emergency veterinary medicine as well.

After completing her first week with us, Hannah says she has been enjoying sitting in with the doctors during appointments and observing surgical procedures. And, as you can see, she is making fast friends with our patients too!

Thank you for choosing our clinic for your externship, Hannah, and we wish you much success in the remainder of your veterinary studies!

Can you believe that it's already almost December? Neither can we! And now that November is winding down, this means we are seeing our Animal of the Month, the poison dart frog, hop out of the spotlight. If you're following us on "X" (a.k.a. Twitter) and Threads, we thank you and hope that you managed to see our posts about these bold and beautiful frogs. But if you missed any of the fun facts we posted, you can always get caught up by checking out our latest blog post where you can find a summary: https://thelinksroadanimalclinic.com/2024/11/28/november-2024s-animal-of-the-month-poison-dart-frogs/

Who is this colourful character with colourful toys to match? Why, it's our patient Mango the pineapple conure! Mango recently boarded at our clinic, and she enjoyed spending time with our staff and showing them her fun toys. She is now back at home with her family and is looking forward to the holidays.

We want to congratulate our patient Beardie the bearded dragon on finding his forever home! Six-year-old Beardie was adopted from Toronto Animal Services a few weeks ago. Beardie came to our clinic recently for an appointment with our Dr. Nur, who says he is settling in nicely with his new family.

Finding Nemo? Well, look no further because Nemo is right here! This is our patient Nemo the ball python, who came to our clinic recently for an appointment with our Dr. Vaughan. Nemo is a baby at just five-months-old and we wish her a long and healthy life!

"Peek-a-boo!" That is what our patient Coca the peach-faced lovebird loves to say the most. Coca is boarding at our clinic and she is having a great time. She entertains our staff every day by talking and singing, and she also loves spending time on her swing and playing with her chimes.

What do our patient Thumper the bunny and a tranquil lake have in common? They are both very calm. Thumper came to our clinic for an appointment with our Dr. Rick recently. Thumper was camera-ready during his visit with us and the perfect picture of serenity.

You may recall that last week we posted a photo of our patient Zazou the yellow-sided green-cheeked conure with her new sibling Tintin the Quaker parakeet, who was partially visible behind her. Zazou got most of the attention last week because she was celebrating her 2nd birthday, but today is all about Tintin. His mom sent us this photo of Tintin at home all dressed up for Zazou's birthday party. It's nice to see you, Tintin, and we hope you had fun at the party!

11/15/2024

We have emergency hours until midnight each night this weekend, starting tonight from 7 p.m. to midnight, on Saturday from 2 p.m. to midnight and on Sunday from 8 a.m. to midnight. If your exotic pet needs urgent care, please call us at 416-223-1165. We wish you and your pets a healthy weekend!

Our patient Zazou the yellow-sided green-cheeked conure is pleased to announce that she has a new sibling! Zazou came to our clinic recently with Tintin the Quaker parakeet (who is behind Zazou in the photo) for an appointment with our Dr. Nur. Tintin, who joined the family a couple of months ago, became instant friends with Zazou and they love to snuggle and preen each other. But, as you can see, Zazou isn't quite ready to share the spotlight with Tintin just yet. But we can understand that given that tomorrow is Zazou's 2nd Birthday. Happy Birthday, Zazou, and congratulations on your new BFF!

Time and time again, cats and young children demonstrate that the allure of the cardboard box can be more powerful than that of toys. Well, the same principle can be applied to tea towels! Our patient Nikko the cockatiel's mom sent us this photo of Nikko at home sitting on his favourite tea towel. She says Nikko prefers to hang out on his special towel rather than play with the many beautiful toys she buys for him.

We are wishing our patient Roo the bunny a very Happy Birthday! Roo, who turned four-years-old yesterday, was recently at our clinic for a check-up with our Dr. Palmer. She says Roo is very sweet and liked to give her hand little kisses during his appointment. We wish you many more healthy and happy years, Roo!

Today is Remembrance Day. As we remember the people who lost their lives, were injured and had their lives permanently altered during wartime, we must also remember all of the animals who experienced immense suffering and death during human-created conflicts that were imposed upon them.

From bees and mosquitoes to elephants and whales, we remember the countless animals of far too many species who suffered and died either directly or indirectly because of war. Here are just a few examples of animals who were used in combat:

- Pigeons were used for communication to carry messages.
- Cats were not only mascots, but were also used to keep the soldiers' food supplies safe from rodents.
- Dogs were used in areas such as combat, tracking, guarding, mine detection and medical experimentation.
- Canaries were used to detect poisonous gas.
- Horses, mules, donkeys and camels were used to carry ammunition, water, food, medical supplies and the wounded.

In addition, wildlife, farm animals, zoo animals and family pets who were not involved in direct combat also suffered and died. To cite a couple of examples, it's estimated that 750,000 family pets were killed in Britain alone at the start of the Second World War over fears of food shortages and air raids. And approximately 58,000 whales were killed during the First World War for their oil that was used in order for soldiers to keep fighting.

We remember and give our gratitude to the animals who suffer and die during wartime through no fault of their own. Lest we forget.

Many people who have siblings learn from one another and our patient Rubble the cockatiel is no exception. Rubble is learning to whistle from his brother Ringo, who is also a cockatiel (not pictured). Rubble is excited to show all of us what he has learned so far!

People who seek fame want to see their name in lights. But our patient Imi the sulcata tortoise is more than happy to see his name in food! Imi is at home with his family now after recently spending some time boarding with us. Our veterinary assistant Janet says that Imi was very friendly with all of the staff and when it was time for bed he would cuddle up with his big comfy pillow at night. But before bedtime, Janet says Imi would eat an evening meal consisting of grass soaked in water with calcium powder sprinkled on top. Janet and the other staff members would form the grass into different shapes; such as spelling out Imi's name and making hearts in honour of Valentine's Day.
