***PSA***
We are seeing a TON of cases of Parvo in the area. Please read below about the virus and how it could affect your dog! We ADAMANTLY advise all dog owners to check their pets parvo vaccine status and bring the pet current if needed.

Canine parvovirus, commonly known as "Parvo," is a highly contagious viral illness that affects dogs.

While dogs of all ages can be affected, it is most prevalent in unvaccinated dogs under one year old, particularly puppies under five months. These young puppies are often hit hardest by the disease and pose challenges in treatment. Any unvaccinated puppy displaying severe vomiting or diarrhea should undergo immediate testing for Parvo.

The symptoms of Parvo disease can vary, typically including vomiting and diarrhea. The diarrhea is often characterized by a strong odor, may contain significant mucus, and may or may not have traces of blood. Additionally, affected dogs may exhibit loss of appetite, pronounced lethargy, depression, and fever. While not all dogs will display every symptom, vomiting and diarrhea are the most common and consistent indicators, with vomiting usually occurring first.

Once a dog is infected, there is no specific treatment to eradicate the virus. Instead, the virus leads to damage to the intestinal lining and weakens the immune system by affecting white blood cell counts. This intestinal damage results in severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and bloodstream infections (septicemia). Septicemia can occur when intestinal bacteria enter the bloodstream, increasing the likelihood of fatality.

With aggressive treatment initiated before severe septicemia and dehydration set in, most dogs infected with Canine Parvovirus can recover. However, certain breeds such as Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Labrador Retrievers, pit bulls, and Arctic sled breeds have a higher fatality rate than others, for reasons not entirely understood. Puppies that do not show improvement within the first few days of treatment typically have a poor prognosis.

Vaccination is the most effective method of protecting dogs against Parvo infection. Puppies are typically vaccinated against parvovirus as part of a series of vaccinations, recommended at 6, 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. Following the initial series, annual booster shots are necessary for the remainder of the dog's life.

All members of the botanical genus Lilium possess a unique chemical compound that runs through their veins (ALL parts of the plant). However, it's essential to note that while these beauties bring joy to our homes and gardens, some varieties can pose a lethal risk to our feline friends.

Easter lilies, Stargazer lilies, and Asiatic lilies, though stunning, require caution around cats as they carry a higher risk of causing kidney failure. Similarly, Daylilies, while lovely, can also cause kidney issues in our furry companions. Other lily types like Calla lilies and Peace lilies may not typically lead to kidney failure in cats, but it's still wise to keep them out of reach. Let's not forget the unique charm of Lily of the valley, but be aware that it can cause cardiac concerns if ingested by our curious pets.

If your cat starts showing signs like vomiting or lethargy after a floral encounter, contact us right away! With quick action and proper care, recovery is entirely possible. However the prognosis can be variable. Delayed treatment generally leads to irreversible kidney damage and potentially kidney failure leading to death.

To keep your furry friends safe and your home blooming, consider opting for pet-friendly plants or creating designated cat-safe zones in your garden. Together, we can ensure a vibrant and worry-free environment for both our cats and our cherished blooms!

The Sago Palm, scientifically known as Cycas Revoluta, is frequently utilized in landscaping, particularly prevalent in Southern regions but also found across the nation. Widely available at lawn and garden stores for outdoor planting they're often promoted as attractive indoor adornments as well. Ingestion of any part of the Sago Palm by animals has been associated with a mortality rate of up to 50%, though prompt intervention can improve survival odds.

Furthermore, the Cardboard Palm shares close kinship with the Sago Palm and is increasingly being stocked in gardening outlets. These plants present similar toxicity hazards, underscoring the importance of vigilance among pet owners.

If your pet starts showing signs like vomiting, diarrhea, or increased thirst after an encounter with one of these palms, contact us right away! With quick action and proper care, recovery is entirely possible. However the prognosis can be variable. Delayed treatment generally leads to irreversible organ damage and potentially organ failure leading to death.

To keep your furry friends safe and your home and yard looking great, consider opting for pet-friendly plants or creating designated pet-safe zones in your garden. Together, we can ensure a vibrant and worry-free environment for both our pets and our plants!

PSA: Sticks and bones can become lodged in your pets mouth! Last week Riley came in with a large bone wedged into the roof of his mouth. The owner had noticed a very bad odor coming from out of his mouth and schedule him in the same day. He was sedated and it was quickly removed, placed him on medications, and we are happy to report back his normal self!
Be sure that if your pet is a chewer you regularly check their mouth for things that can become lodged between their teeth or into the pallet. If you notice that your pet is pawing at or rubbing their mouth on the floor or is struggling to eat or drink, these could be indicators that something serious could going on in the mouth and needs to be checked out.
