Mini's Fight Against Pyometra: A Reminder of the Importance of Early Detection!

This week, we treated a 10-year-old Mini, a sweet Mini Pinscher, who presented with vomiting and a distended abdomen. Further examination revealed a closed-type pyometra, a serious uterine infection characterized by pus buildup. It's crucial to understand that pyometra can affect any female dog, regardless of whether she's had puppies. Mini, despite having three previous litters, was still vulnerable. This highlights that even dogs who have been pregnant are still at risk!

Our resident veterinarian swiftly performed a life-saving surgery, removing Mini's infected uterus. The uterus was filled with pus and had a foul odor. Thankfully, the procedure was successful and completed in under 30 minutes.

Mini is now resting comfortably and beginning her recovery journey. We're all rooting for our brave girl and praying for a long and healthy life ahead. This case serves as a reminder to be vigilant about your dog's health and to seek veterinary attention immediately if you notice any concerning symptoms. Learn more about pyometra and how to protect your canine companion.

TVT in Male Dogs: An Awareness Post

What is TVT?

Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a contagious cancer that affects the ge****ls of dogs. It's spread through sexual contact, and while it's most common in male dogs, females can also contract it. It's important to note that TVT is not the same as other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in dogs.

How Do Dogs Get TVT?

TVT is spread through direct contact during mating. The cancerous cells are transmitted from an infected dog to a healthy dog. It's crucial to understand that this isn't a hereditary condition; it's not passed down genetically from parent to offspring. The tumor cells themselves are transmitted.

Understanding TVT

- Contagious Cancer: TVT is a type of cancer that spreads from dog to dog, primarily through sexual contact. It can also spread through licking, sniffing, or biting the tumor.

- Common Location: While most commonly found on the ge****ls, TVT can also appear in other areas like the mouth, nose, or skin.

- Cauliflower-like Appearance: The tumor often has a cauliflower-like appearance, is red or gray, and bleeds easily when touched.

Signs and Symptoms:

The most common symptom is the appearance of a tumor or growth on the p***s or prepuce (the fo****in) in male dogs. These growths can vary in size and appearance. In some cases, they may bleed or become ulcerated. If you notice any unusual lumps or bumps on your dog's ge****ls, it's vital to consult a veterinarian immediately.

Prevention:

The most effective way to prevent TVT is to avoid mating your dog with dogs of unknown health status. If you're planning to breed your dog, ensure that both the male and female are thoroughly examined by a veterinarian before breeding to rule out TVT and other health issues. Neutering or spaying your dog is also a highly effective preventative measure, as it eliminates the risk of sexual transmission.

Treatment:

TVT is often treatable, particularly when detected early. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The success of treatment depends on various factors, including the size and location of the tumor, the dog's overall health, and the responsiveness of the tumor cells to treatment.

Raising Awareness:

Responsible dog ownership includes being aware of potential health risks, such as TVT. Spread the word about this contagious cancer by sharing this post and encouraging other dog owners to be vigilant about their pets' health. Early detection and prompt veterinary care are crucial for successful treatment.

Remember: Always consult your veterinarian if you have any concerns about your dog's health. They can provide accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Meet Callie, a sprightly 16-year-old Poodle who recently enjoyed our Senior Citizen Grooming Discount! That's right, 20% off pampering for our beloved senior pups! โœจ

Callie's visit reminds us that grooming isn't just about looking good; it's crucial for our senior doggos' health and comfort. As our canine companions age, their coats can become thicker, matted, or more prone to tangles. Regular grooming helps prevent skin irritations, keeps their coats healthy, and makes them feel their best. Plus, it allows us to check for any lumps, bumps, or other changes that might need veterinary attention.

Senior Poodles, like Callie, often exhibit charming traits that make them even more endearing. Their wisdom shines through in their calm demeanor and gentle nature. They've seen it all and are happy to share their years of experience with cuddles and quiet companionship. While their playful puppy energy might have mellowed, their love for their humans remains as strong as ever.

Standard Poodles typically live for 10-15 years, but with proper care and attention, some can live well into their late teens, just like our dear Callie! We're so happy to have her as part of our senior dog family and celebrate her vibrant spirit. Let's all make sure our senior dogs get the care and pampering they deserve! โค๏ธ

Introducing DAKILA: Our One-of-a-Kind Miniature Bull Terrier!

Meet DAKILA, the only Mini Bull Terrier in our veterinary clinic! This isn't just any dog; DAKILA is a whirlwind of playful energy and boundless curiosity. His unique breed traits shine through in his personality: the characteristic sturdy build of a Bull Terrier, miniaturized into an adorable package, is matched by his surprisingly gentle nature (for a dog who's always ready for a game!).

DAKILA's playful nature is infectious. He greets every new pet, clinic staffs and Doc!- with enthusiastic leaps and bounds, his short, smooth coat gleaming as he bounces around. His curiosity is equally pronounced; he investigates every nook and cranny of the clinic, his intelligent eyes taking in everything around him. You'll often find him sniffing out new smells, or engaging in a playful chase with a furry friend saying "Hoy, Let's Play! Let's play! -with full of excitement!

What truly sets DAKILA apart is his expressive face. Those distinctive, slightly comical features โ€“ the wedge-shaped head and the endearingly quirky grin โ€“ perfectly capture his personality. He's a master of communication, using his whole body to express his happiness, excitement, and even his occasional moments of quiet contemplation. And, of course, there's the jumping. A happy DAKILA is a jumping DAKILA; a sight that never fails to bring a smile to everyone's face.

Come visit us and meet this extraordinary miniature bull terrier, he often visit us on Weekend โ€“ you won't regret it! Or follow him at Dakila the Mini Bull Terrier for more updates! ๐Ÿ˜Š

The Shiranian, also known as a Pomshi, Shih-Pom, Pom-Tzu, or Shih-a-Pom, is a mixed breed dog resulting from a cross between the ShihTzu and Pomeranian breeds. They are small, adorable, and loyal, inheriting some of the best qualities from both parents.

Shiranians are known for being affectionate, playful, and friendly. They love to cuddle and are generally good with children and other pets. However, they can be prone to separation anxiety and don't like being left alone for long periods.

- Grooming: Shiranians require regular grooming due to their thick coats. Daily brushing is essential to prevent mats and tangles. They also need monthly baths and regular dental care as they like to smile every time! ๐Ÿ˜

Shiranians are generally intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. However, they can inherit a stubborn streak from their Pomeranian parent, so consistency and positive reinforcement are key.

Meet Ohaio! Mixed breed of Pomeranian-Shihtzu, look how adorable he is- happy to be groomed again! ๐Ÿฅณ

Calcium Oxalate Stone Removal or Cystotomy Surgery on a female Shihtzu ๐Ÿถ ๐ŸŒ•
-Meet our furry friend -Chichay, a brave Shih Tzu who recently overcame a significant health challenge! She presented with hematuria (blood in her urine), decreased appetite, and lethargy. Further investigation revealed a massive calcium oxalate bladder stone โ€“ one of the largest we've ever removed!

Chichay's history of UTIs may have contributed to this. During the physical examination, our resident vet palpated a small, onion-sized mass inside her uterus. She was promptly scheduled for essential lab tests, including CBC, blood chemistry, and an X-ray to really know what that onion-sized mass is inside her uterus. Our vet recommended immediate surgery for Chichay. After at least 12-24 hours of fasting. The surgery started with IV fluid therapy to hydrate her, and then performed a cystotomy surgery to remove the stone. This surgery involves making a small incision in the bladder to access and remove the stone.

After a successful cystotomy (bladder surgery) performed by our amazing resident vets, thankfully she's now recovering well ๐ŸŽ‰ and was prescribed urinary antibiotics and diet! A big thank you to Chichay's loving family for their quick action and dedication to her health, and for always choosing VetCare as Chichay's number 1 healthcare provider! We're so happy to see her happy and playful again! โค๏ธ

Kidding aside Chichay is now called Chichay-DARNA by her family ๐Ÿถโœจ

๐Ÿ‘€??
๐Ÿ“ŒWhat are struvite stones?
Struvite stones are a common type of bladder stone in dogs, and are caused by urinary tract infections (UTIs) and changes in urine pH. These are rock-like formations of minerals, also known as uroliths or cystic calculi. They are made of magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate
๐Ÿ“ŒWhy is cystotomy surgery necessary?
A cystotomy surgery is essential to remove the stone and prevent further complications like urinary tract infections, blockages, and even kidney failure.

๐Ÿ“ŒHow can you help prevent oxalate stones in your pet?
- Diet: Feeding a balanced diet specifically formulated for your dog's breed and age can help.
- Water: Ensure your pet has access to fresh water at all times.
- Regular vet checkups: Routine checkups help catch any potential problems early on.

For check-up and surgery needs, visit us at VetCare Animal Clinic! Our experienced team is dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive care for your furry friends. From routine check-ups to complex surgeries, we're here to ensure your pet receives the best possible treatment.
