Next up in our Flora and Fauna series for houseplants and pets is ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia). This plant is toxic to dogs and cats because it contains calcium oxalate crystals like the monstera plant we posted about earlier. Let’s say it’s just a little *spicy*.

Calcium oxalate crystals are needle shaped, so they cause a lot of irritation when the leaves or stalks of the plant are chewed. This can lead to oral irritation such as drooling, pawing at the mouth, and can also lead to vomiting or difficulty swallowing. Some pets experience an intense reaction and need a little help here at the clinic. Some pets will nibble on leaves (like Dr. Erin’s cats) and may or may not learn their lesson when they vomit those later.

Thankfully, the ZZ plant doesn’t cause a deadly reaction, so you can still keep these around your home with a little caution. Keeping them in a difficult to reach window like our back office, a hanging basket, or a closed off room can help ensure pets stay safe while you enjoy some plant benefits.

Finally got our community board up! We envisioned this board in this little alcove when we first started to renovate the clinic and it’s finally done. She hot glue-gunned together like a RPDR sewing challenge gown, but she holding it together better than any of this past week. Stop by to check out local Uptown happenings or to drop off something you want to share. Community seems more important now, than ever.

Ps. Please don’t come for us , we love you girl! 😂

Rounding out our week, we are also shouting out to our client care coordinator, Elizabeth! You can find her at the front desk, managing phone calls, emails, and clients in person. Elizabeth also speaks Spanish and helps us translate during appointments so we can provide care to more patients. She’s been a seamless addition to our team, relaying a myriad of advice when we can’t always pick up the phone. Elizabeth is engaging, efficient, diligent, and wears many hats to add so much to our tiny team. She has experience in different animal related jobs, including emergency and specialty medicine.

We’re continuing our recognition posts for and we wanted to give a HUGE shout out to our technician, Brooce. Brooce has been with us for almost 9 years and she never fails to bring the party to work. She has a wide range of experience from general practice and specialty med to shelter medicine and even animal control. She is incredibly hard-working, dedicated, empathetic, and intuitive. We’re so lucky to have her. She’s also a huge nerd when it comes to virus’, especially rabies. Brooce is finishing up the last requirements of her tech program and will soon be a Certified Vet Tech and we couldn’t be more proud. Please enjoy some of these current and throwback photos to when we were all just some wee babes.

It’s Veterinary Technician Week and time to start some shoutouts to our awesome team! Our clinic co-founder, Keith, is a registered veterinary technician (RVT) and practice manager who has been working with animals since he could walk. He has experience with companion animals in general practice and specialty practice, including in a university setting. Keith helps out in all areas of the clinic with a skill set that can’t be matched! If you have an , expect him to be one of the first in line to pet them.

Looking for a plant that is safe for pets? Hoya, aka wax plant are considered non-toxic for dogs and non-toxic for cats. They have thick leaves that love bright, indirect light. Make sure nibbling on those leaves stays in moderation. Pets can still experience stomach upset, or vomiting and diarrhea, if they eat or chew on too much of them. That’s easy enough for us to handle at the clinic so give us a call if it happens! You can try to spray the leaves with a bitter yuck spray to stop pets from chewing on the leaves, as long as they don’t develop a taste for that flavor.

Enjoy these Hoya plants we have decorating our separate cat-friendly waiting area!

Popular and she already knows it 🩷 💅🏻 We’re so excited to be a part of puppies growing up to adulthood! It’s not always puppies and kittens in a vet clinic so we spoil them whenever we can, including when they come in for boosters, get treatments for illness, and of course when they’re being playful. That means a lot of love, praise, and treats to decrease stress and fear in the vet clinic. This angel corgi puppy has been growing up so fast! #corgi #corgipuppy #faunavetcare #faunavetchicago #vetmed #veterinarian #vettech #wicked #wickedmovie

The dogs are taking over and they want more food! #cameraflip #vetmedhumor #veterinarian #vettechs #vettechsofinstagram #veterinariansofinstagram #faunavetcare #faunavetchicago

Phinehas the kitten update! His ear mites (otodectes cynotis) have cleared, and we treated him for the worms in his poop after sending out a stool sample. No more hitchhikers for this very fine tabby cat, who is so big he might be part Maine Coon! Most puppies and kittens are born with worms they get from their mothers, and Phinehas here had microscopic giardia that he picked up when he was a stray. He’ll need some probiotics to give him healthy bacteria for his gut, then will continue his shots to make sure he’s well vaccinated as part of good pet care. In the meantime, he got to try out the cat shelves in our separate cat exam room because kitties feel safe higher up with vertical territory.
