🐾Hello Brodheadsville Veterinary Clients!

We wanted to inform you that we have switched from dispensing Apoquel to a new medication called Zenrelia.
Zenrelia works similarly to Apoquel, since it is the same class (also called family) of drug. However, this medication has quite a few characteristics that make it more favorable to Apoquel:
✔️In clinical trials it was shown to work better when compared to other drugs of this class.
✔️It has no loading dose. Apoquel has a twice a day dosing for the first 1 to 2 weeks, which is not needed with Zenrelia, making it easier to give to patients who are wizards at avoiding pills or for busy families.
✔️It is priced cheaper than Apoquel. We know medication prices can be high, and we want treatments to be more attainable and easier on your budget.
These are the main reasons our clinic has switched to Zenrelia. For anyone who does not want to switch, we can still approve Apoquel requests online.
If you are wanting to refill your pets Apoquel with us for pick up at the clinic, you will be given the appropriate dose of Zenrelia.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us!

Thank you, have a great day!

Hello! Important update from the American Animal Hospital Assocation (AAHA) The Leptospirosis vaccine is now considered a core vaccine! “Any dog that goes outdoors, whether in an urban or a rural setting, can be exposed to leptospirosis.” Please contact us right away if you have previously decided to waive the Lepto vaccine and would like to get your pet vaccinated! 💜🐾

https://www.aaha.org/newstat/publications/leptospirosis-vaccination-recommended-to-be-core-for-most-dogs/

🦠 Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection from Leptospira bacteria that thrive in warm and moist environments. It can affect multiple species, even HUMANS! This bacterium is transmitted in the urine of wildlife, such as racoons, skunks, squirrels, rats, and mice, and can survive in contaminated soil for months!

🐶 Dogs can become infected by drinking contaminated water or when a cut or irritation on the skin comes in contact with urine. Once it gets in their bloodstream, it can spread to the kidneys and liver, causing life threatening illness. Clinical signs in dogs include: fever, lethargy, joint or muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, or changes in urination.

💊 If the disease is caught early, it can be treated with antibiotics and supportive care. If you or your veterinarian suspect leptospirosis, please contact your human doctor immediately, since this disease is zoonotic meaning it can be transmitted from dogs to humans.

💉 The good news is there is a vaccine for dogs and livestock that can help prevent the most common strains of the disease! The vaccine is a series of two vaccines initially, given 2-3 weeks apart. Then the vaccine is administered once a year to keep both your pet and your family protected.
