🩺 What is Pancreatitis? 🩺
Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas, an essential organ that aids in digestion and regulates blood sugar. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, it can cause painful symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, and lethargy in pets.

🐾 Why Do We See More Cases in November and December? 🐾
During the holiday season, well-meaning pet owners often share rich and fatty foods with their furry friends. This can overwhelm their digestive systems and lead to pancreatitis, especially when pets sneak bites of leftover turkey, gravy, or other holiday treats.

To keep your pets safe this holiday season, please avoid sharing table scraps or opt for lean bites of meat or steamed or raw veggies that are safe for them to enjoy. If you notice any signs of discomfort or unusual behavior in your pet, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for advice. Your pet’s health is our priority!

This month, we celebrate our wise and wonderful senior pets and encourage everyone to consider giving a loving home to older animals. Here are some tips to help your senior pet enjoy their golden years:

✨ Regular Vet Visits: Schedule routine check-ups to monitor your pet's health, as early detection of issues can lead to better management.
✨ Healthy Diet: Provide a balanced diet tailored to your senior pet's needs to maintain a healthy weight and support their overall health.
✨ Gentle Exercise: Keep your pet active with light walks and playtime to maintain muscle mass and joint health, but always consider their limitations.
✨ Comfortable Space: Create a cozy, quiet space for your pet to relax and sleep, ensuring easy access to food, water, and litter boxes.
✨ Mental Stimulation: Engage their minds with puzzles, toys, or training to keep them sharp and entertained!

By providing proper care and attention, we can help our senior pets live their best lives. If you have a senior pet, share your favorite moments with us! 💖
