🚨Excellent information from Dr. Goldstein regarding Pyometra in your intact, female dogs, and cats!

‼️This is a very important read if you have female pets that have not been spayed.

🐾 Pyometra in Pets: A Silent but Deadly Threat! 🚨

Did you know that pyometra is a life-threatening infection of the uterus that commonly affects unspayed female dogs and cats? This condition can develop quickly and requires urgent veterinary attention!

⚠️ Signs to Watch For:
🔴 Lethargy & weakness
🔴 Loss of appetite
🔴 Increased thirst & urination
🔴 Vomiting or diarrhea
🔴 Swollen abdomen
🔴 Vaginal discharge (in open pyometra)

Without treatment, pyometra can lead to severe infection, kidney failure, and even death. The best way to prevent this? Spaying your pet!

If your pet is showing any of these symptoms, don’t wait—contact your vet immediately! 🏥💙

🐾 ⛄️ Caring for Your Pets This Winter ❄️🐾

As temperatures drop, it’s important to keep your furry friends safe and cozy! Here are some winter pet care tips:

1️⃣ Bundle Up: Short-haired and small pets may need a sweater or jacket to stay warm during walks.
2️⃣ Paw Protection: Salt and ice can irritate paw pads. Wipe your pet’s paws after walks and consider using pet-safe booties or balm.
3️⃣ Hydration is Key: Ensure fresh water is always available, as winter air can be dehydrating.
4️⃣ Keep Them Active: Play indoor games or try short, brisk walks to keep your pet moving.
5️⃣ Beware of Frostbite: Limit outdoor time for pets, especially in extreme cold. Watch for signs of frostbite, like pale or red ears, paws, or tails.
6️⃣ Car Safety: Never leave pets in a car during freezing temperatures—they can quickly get too cold.

Your pets rely on you for warmth and care, so let’s make this winter safe and enjoyable for them! Let’s see pictures of your pets bundled up!

👀‼️🚨Updated info regarding Avian Flu! Please read!!!

🚨 ALERT 🚨 There has been a lot of discussion in the news about the avian flu (H5N1) and the risks to cats. We are seeing a significant number of cases in birds in PA. Here is some information about the disease and how to keep your cats safe.

1. How do cats become infected?
🦠 Eating raw or undercooked meat and unpasteurized milk
🦠 Exposure to infected wild birds or poultry
🦠 Exposure to people who work on affected farms and to their clothing

2. What are the clinical signs of H5N1 in cats?
🐈 Initial signs include loss of appetite, lethargy, and fever, which quickly progresses into:
- Neurologic signs (e.g., ataxia, circling, tremors, seizures, or blindness)
- A LOT of nasal/eye discharge, sneezing, coughing, difficult breathing

3. How can H5N1 infection be prevented in cats?
🐄 Don’t feed cats any dairy products that have not been pasteurized
🥩 Thoroughly cook meat before feeding and avoid feeding raw meat-based treats or diets
🐱 Keep cats indoors to prevent exposure to birds and other wildlife
🐔 Keep cats away from livestock, poultry, especially in areas with known H5N1 outbreaks
🐓 Thoroughly wash your hands after any encounters with poultry, livestock, or wild birds and other animals
🐱 After interacting with sick or dead animals that may have been infected with H5N1 virus, change your clothes and shoes, and thoroughly wash any exposed skin

Remember, cats do get upper respiratory infections, so please if your cat has been exposed to raw meat, unpasteurized milk or an infected bird, immediately contact your veterinarian.

🎇Happy 2025 Brodheadsville Veterinary friends! We are so excited to welcome another year with all of you and your furry (or sometime scaley) family members! 🐇🐈🦎🎆
If you did not see the email from us regarding Online Pharmacy/Chewy prescription request, please let us update you here!
We receive a large amount of request for medications and preventatives through our online pharmacy, Chewy and a few other online pharmacies!
In order to not only get these requests approved in a timely manner, but to maintain legality of prescription medications, the owner/client name of the pet/patient must match. 💊
Please update your online pharmacy account to match the primary client/owner we have on your medical file here, OR you could also decide to call us and change the primary name here.
For legal reasons, we must decline any requests which do not match (must be the primary client/owner as noted on our medical record).
Thank you!
🐾🎆 Wishing everyone a wonderful 2025!🥳
