The 4th is fast approaching! 🇺🇸 This can be a rough time of year for our animals. Here are some of our tips for medicating your pets:
1. If you feel your pet would benefit from medications for the 4th, please call us ASAP! These are prescription medications and your pet may require an up to date annual exam. Sometimes we are booking out several days or weeks in advance so it is crucial that we schedule you right away.
2. Did you try medications last year and they did not seem to work? LET US KNOW! Often we can make adjustments such as increasing the dose, adding on an additional medication, or trying something else entirely. Give us a call so we can speak with your pet’s doctor about the best course of action for them.
3. It is always a good idea to do a trial of these medications before they are needed. Most of them have a range in their dosing and finding the most effective dose for your pet is extremely important.
4. Start the medications before the anxiety starts!! This will help them be more effective. Do you remember approximately what time last year you started hearing the fireworks around your home? Start hours or even days before that!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions. We hope everyone has wonderful holiday! ♥️🇺🇸

Our sweet senior patient Koa getting his weekly subcutaneous fluids 🩺💧

Koa is a great example of why we recommend routine bloodwork on cats starting at 8-10 years old. As our feline friends age their chance of developing systemic changes such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism becomes increased. When we catch these things early, we can start supportive care to help slow down progression and prolong their life expectancy. 💕

Health advisories for toxic algae levels have been issued for the following bodies of water in Oregon and over the border in Clark County, WA.

Oregon
* Willamette River near Willamette Cove in Multnomah County
* Aarons Lake, Pete’s Slough and Sturgeon Lake on Sauvie Island in Columbia and Multnomah counties
* Agency Lake in Klamath County
* Upper Klamath Lake in Klamath County

Washington
* Vancouver Lake in Clark County
* Lacamas Lake in Clark County

Pets should avoid contact with the affected water. Drinking water directly from areas affected by a bloom is especially dangerous. Toxins cannot be removed by boiling, filtering or treating water with camping-style filters.

We update our Toxic Algae Advisory page (https://www.oregonvma.org/toxic-algae-advisories) when we become aware of new advisories.

Cyanobacteria blooms may look like mats floating in the water or stuck on the bottom or the shore. Be on the lookout for waters that look suspicious—foamy, scummy, thick like paint, pea-green, blue-green or brownish red, or bright green cells suspended in the water column. Please note that not all waterways are monitored or tested, so, when in doubt, stay out!

Heartworm fact of the week! 🫀🐾

Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes. When a dog is infected with heartworms, the adult worms produce microfilaria (baby worms) that live in the bloodstream. When a mosquito bites an infected animal they pick up these microscopic worms. This mosquito then transfers these to the next susceptible animal they bite.
Over the next several months these baby worms will move through the bloodstream to the heart, where they will grow into mature adult heartworms and eventually mate and produce microfilaria of their own. Thus contributing to the cycle of heartworm disease.

What types of animals are susceptible to this disease?
Dogs are a natural host for these types of worms and are therefore at the highest risk. Cats are an atypical host as the worms do not often survive to the adult stage. Wildlife such as foxes, coyotes, and wolves can also carry adult heartworms.

April is Heartworm Awareness Month! ❤️🪱
We all know mosquitos are a nuisance, but did you know that they can also put your dog’s cardiovascular health at risk? Heartworm disease is caused by a blood-borne parasite which is transmitted by a mosquito bite. This disease is serious and potentially fatal, but the good news is that it is easily preventable!
We are passionate about education on this disease due to the increase of cases in our area. Over the next month we will be posting facts and helpful information about heartworm disease to ensure our clients can make an informed decision regarding their pet’s preventative care.
The map seen here is the 2019 incidence report by the American Heartworm Society, showing the number of cases per clinic where heartworm disease has been diagnosed. What is important to note is that no state is heartworm free!
Stay tuned for more of our posts about heartworm disease, and give us a call if you have any questions about how to protect your pets 🫀🐾

Sometimes it takes two! 🩺✌🏼👩‍⚕️

Here at Summit we are blessed to have a strong group of veterinarians who support each other, learn from each other, and tackle tricky surgeries together.
Working as a team is a vital part of veterinary medicine for so many reasons. While your pet’s visit summary may only show one doctor and one technician, there is a whole team of people working behind the scenes.
We love to work together, and we love what we do! ❤️🐾
