Dentist for the day! Estes is a 2 year old mini poodle that still had a lot of his baby teeth! Before we did the extractions, a full mouth X-ray also revealed other problems which would not have been visible without the X-rays. We then proceeded with dental prophylaxis and tooth extractions, and we have plans in place to address all his other dental issues ๐
Dental radiography or X-rays are different from your usual X-rays, and is considered part of the standard of care for dogs and cats undergoing dental intervention. Dental radiographs are essential and often reveal relevant clinical information that would be missed based solely on an oral examination.
A proper, thorough dental check up is highly recommended not only for pets that already have problems, but also so that we can actually prevent dental disease before it happens and maintain good dental health. ๐๐ฆท

Our clinics got another upgrade! We now have X-ray available in both our branches! And whatโs even more exciting is that our brand new DR X-ray machine in the Maa clinic is capable of doing fluoroscopy too! Simply put, fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures - similar to an X-ray "movie." At the end of the video you can see how we are able to diagnose and demonstrate regurgitation - when the liquid thatโs being swallowed moves from the stomach back into the esophagus. While X-rays have always been very helpful in diagnosing your petโs problems by taking โstill photos,โ fluoroscopy definitely takes it up another level and allows us to visualize things you wouldnโt be able to see with regular X-rays. #fluoroscopy #xray #diagnosticimaging #regurgitation#docbayani #dbawc #veterinarian #davao
HISTORY MADE! Yesterday a pair of Philippine Eagles was released on Leyte Island! This is the first step in the plan to reintroduce Philippine Eagles from Mindanao to repopulate the safe vacant habitats of Leyte over the next five years. So proud to have our team contribute to this effort, and we are hoping the eagles will thrive in their new habitat! Fly high Uswag and Carlito!#SavePHEagle #PhilippineEagleRelease #AgiLaya #WeShallReturn #translocation #endangeredspecies #PhilippineEagle #docbayani #dbawc #wildvet #veterinarian
My first time to attend a veterinary conference in Europe, and it did not disappoint! ICARE 2024, the 6th International Conference on Avian, Herpetological, Exotic Mammal, Zoo and Wildlife Medicine. One of my personal professional focuses this year is exotic animal medicine, and this conference was perfect for this. Just my luck that it happened to be in Belgium at a time Iโm here for a personal visit. And such a beautiful location! Set inside old 13th century buildings that were originally built as an abbey and hospital, now perfectly preserved and used as a museum, music halls and art exhibits. Lots of learnings, looking forward to improving and growing our exotics practice at the clinics! ๐ #icare2024 #exoticveterinarymedicine #exoticveterinarian #wildlifevet #wildvet #bijlokesite #docbayani #dbawc #veterinarian #davao

Did you guys know that dogs can have heart problems just like people do? High blood pressure, dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, degenerative mitral valve disease.. these are just some of the problems your dogs might be dealing with, especially as they get older. At the clinic we have actually been managing many patients with such problems already. Under the lead of doc Jun, we try to detect and diagnose cardiac problems as early as possible, using various diagnostic tools at our disposal. Listening to heart abnormalities via stethoscope, looking at the structure of the heart via x-ray, checking structure and function of the heart via 2D echo ultrasound, and checking heart function via electrocardiography (ECG) and cardiac blood markers.
Once heart disease is diagnosed, similar to humans, we put our patients on their maintenance medications too, in an effort to make their conditions more manageable and thereby trying to improve their quality of life as much as possible โค๏ธ
So as your dogs get older, itโs a good thing to discuss with your vet the potential to develop heart disease, and what can be done to possibly detect it early enough so that the necessary management and monitoring can be started ๐
