It is with heavy hearts that we had to say goodbye to Mirza this weekend.
He has been fighting a battle with lymphoma since December of 2022, and was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. In his most recent months, his quality of life declined, and we felt it was best to lay him to rest.
Mirza loved butt smacks, crinkle toys and loved to groom anyone that would let him.
His favourite activities consisted of staring out sunny windows around the clinic and enjoy all the naps he could get.
To our beloved 14 year old, three legged, clinic cat… thank you for always brightening up our day with your big beady eyes, and welcoming personality.
We will miss you dearly💕💕
Rest easy Mirza🌈
It’s the 1st of the month, which means this is your reminder to give your pets heartworm/tick prevention‼️ #tick #heartworm #doglover #vetmedicine
As senior month comes to an end, our last candidate is Pearl! Pearl is one of our regular patients that has been treated with Solensia and her owners have noticed a massive change. She is now going on walks and has even chased bunnies, squirrels and grasshoppers again this summer.
At the clinic we have noticed that Pearl seems so much happier and will even let us give her a small cuddle when she visits us.
Solensia is a monthly injection to control Osteoarthities pain in cats. OA pain occurs when joint tissues wear down and bones rub against one another. Monoclonal antibodies target nerve growth, binds to control pain and limits release of pro inflammatory mediators and lower neurogenic inflammation.
Please ask us for a link to a checklist for activities and behaviour that may be OA or book an appointment to discuss your cats pain!

Happy Wilma Wednesday!
Arthritis is a common concern in senior patients. Paired with joint diets or supplements that we often recommend, we also can prescribe Cartrophen.
Cartrophen is a prescribed injectable that helps aid in maintaining joint health.
Wilma had come in to get a Cartrophen injection recently. She is one of many senior patients that use this injectable medication to help maintain joint function.
First up for senior focus month is Willow! Willow is owned by one of our RVTs! Today we’re hear to talk about Flexadin Chews.
Is your pet slowing down? Your pet may be in pain. They can suffer from stiffness, pain and swelling of osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease.
Symptoms are not always easy to recognize. Some of them mean your pet is getting older, but they can also be actual signs of pain.
There are ways to protect joints and to help manage pain. Flexadin offers a complete rang of nutritional supplements dedicated to joint support in dogs and cats! Comes in 2 convenient size chews, taken once daily!
Book your appointment today to talk with your veterinary on your senior pets joint mobility!
