👀 This is a Threadworm larva. 🪱
(Magnified 400x under the microscope)
We mostly see worm eggs but sometimes the immature forms are the diagnostic appearance in the laboratory.
⚠️ Careful about threadworms! These can cross the human skin if you handle or are exposed to an infected cat’s feces!
🌸 Remember:
Regular deworming interrupts the life cycle so that even if your dogs and cats do get infected with worms, then deworming will prevent serious and complicated disease.
Hygiene, preventatives, and awareness help!

Newborns ❤️
Do you know why your vet team celebrates crying neonates?
Because it allows their freshly-functional lungs to breathe air, expand, contract, and empty any fluids that are no longer supposed to be there.
Yesss cry, babies, cry. 🫶🏼
🩺 Dr’s note: but puppies crying after suckling is not a good sign though. This means that’s an energetic puppy that is most likely NOT getting the amount of milk that it needs.

⚠️ Warning possibly triggering video.
This is one of our patients in the past who sadly passed away. Yes, showing signs of RABIES infection.
We’ve recently had more than usual cases of Rabies suspects and sadly do not always hear from the pet owners about the progress of the patients.
So please for your own awareness, these are some FACTS about Rabies disease:
- it is NOT INBORN
- is is a viral disease that is passed by the entry of SALIVA into the blood stream
- dogs and cats CAN STILL RECOGNIZE you and will not always bite you
- there is a PARALYTIC form of the disease. Some just gradually get weaker and paralyzed then die. (They don’t always go “crazy”)
- proper vaccination is very effective! It saves lives!
- the Philippine Rabies Law requires once a year vaccination because the disease is sadly still endemic. We can change this if we work together! 🙏🏼
Again, Rabies is NOT inborn. But is FATAL.
Be aware. Take care. 🙏🏼

Say HIIII to this year’s 2nd batch of core vaccination GRADUATES! 😍🥳🥰
Hooraayy! 💗
The momma dog started labor but had very weak uterine contractions.. And sadly upon ultrasound, at least one fetus already had no heartbeat, while some did! And here are the 3 living puppies crying beautifully. 🤗🥰
This deserves to be posted!
Because finally we can feel safer about recommending tick-preventives for your tick-infested pregnant dogs! 🥹🙌🏼
🩺 Your vets are happy because the risks of blood parasitism being passed to the fetus during pregnancy will be reduced. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

Here’s a talkative patient we just recently sent home (as outpatient)..
Listen with sounds on! 😁🤭
Our 2023 ended with so much happening on our last day of duty:
- 4 dogs diagnosed with canine heartworm disease (3 of which with moderate to heavy microfilaria load)
- our smallest pyometra-ovh patient didn’t completely recover and crossed the 🌈 🕊️
- a dog with 12-hour long dystocia comes in with living fetus inside (birthed 2 puppies earlier in the day), unresponsive to parenteral calcium supplementation and oxytocin, and limited budget
- a dog profusely bleeding after castration at home without anesthetics and ligation of the spermatic cord
Thus we’re still here and reminded to keep doing better in helping you protect, care, treat, and have a good quality of life for your furfam.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊
🩺 Edit: This is a video of the heartworm microfilaria found in a drop of blood. 🥺
Hooraayy! 🥳🥰
With proper diagnosis, successful treatment and management really becomes so much easier and happier.

Watching our CS-born patients return for routine preventive visits is one of the best ever! 💕
Did you know?
Many pet owners still do not know that the earliest dose of DEWORMING is actually at age 2 weeks of newborn puppies!
Why?
Some worms can be passed via the placenta and mammary glands of their momma.
(THIS is also the reason why momma dogs and the newborn pups are dewormed together on this first visit.)
Awareness promotes prevention! 🙏🏼
Momma’s first sniff!
These two newborn pups were born via Cesarean Section today because they were too big! Their sire is a Siberian Husky and this momma dog is a Shih-mix. (Oh yes.. The furfam had no idea that this could’ve been possible.)
And thus because the fetal cranium simply won’t fit through this momma’s birth canal.. Today momma H’s water bag broke and still no pup started to come out 4 hours later.
🩺 The xray exam is really useful in measuring the fetal cranium in proportion to the dam’s birth canal.
🌸 The team is very happy to say all pups are happily crying - and so is this momma dog missing her babies!
(Kudos to the furmily for their quick action! 🙏🏼)
#emergency #cesareansection
Cesarean Section of mommy B!
Watch the cesarean section of this mommy! 🤗
🩺 It has been 5 hours since her water bag broke and this mommy showed no signs of pushing at all. Lucky her furfam are quick to act and decide, all 6 puppies AND mommy were saved. 🫶🏼
He is very much loved. 😊
#blind
Transpo by motorcycle: complete with eye protection to prevent eye dryness, of course ✨ 👌🏼
Does your furfam have vet clinic anxiety?
We actually recommend taking them on “safe” and “happy” trips that are not towards the vet clinic so that they don’t automatically relate all transportation as scary.
It makes vet visits easier and fun for everyone, too.
🩺 PS: Just remember to observe precautions for incomplete vaccinated ones against exposure to infectious disease.

⚠️ While this is a happy improvement, a gentle reminder to all:
- please have your puppies dewormed as early as 2 weeks old so that they can be fitter for vaccination as early as 6 weeks old
- do not let your unvaccinated dogs walk outside
- keep outdoor footwear outside
- use bleach disinfectant at home
