Give us all the Goldies💖✨ These two came in last week for some upset tummies. Thankfully🙏🏼 they tested negative for parvo. As we start to transition to fall, it’s still VERY important to keep an eye out for signs of parvo such as:

🦠diarrhea
🦠vomiting
🦠lack of appetite
🦠lethargy

These could all be related to other conditions but for the little pups, it’s best to be on the safe side and have them tested👩🏽‍⚕️

A big part of keeping your pets safe from parvo is ensuring the have all their puppy shots💉(4 DHPP shots completed between the ages of 7 and 20 weeks) and maintaining their boosters into adulthood🐕

The heat hasn't left just yet!🔥☀
Be mindful of your pet's activity and time outside as HEAT STROKE can still happen. If your pet has been exercising excessively or has been outside for a long period of time, check for symptoms like:
🌶 heavy breathing
🌶 feeling hot to the touch
🌶 excessive drooling
🌶 bright red gums

These symptoms and others might be signs your pet is experiencing heat stroke.

Please keep in mind that if your pet is
🐶 brachycephalic,
🐶 overweight,
🐶 and/ or has a pre-existing heart condition,
they are at greater risk.

For more information, talk to your vet and take a look at our Heat Stroke article on our Resources page ➡ https://armstrongpethospital.com/what-is-heat-stroke-and-how-can-it-be-avoided/

Cinnabun is such a trooper!🤎 🤍 Cinnabun was adopted from fresnobullyrescue and visits us regularly for her Librela injections. Librela is a once a month anti-nerve growth factor monoclonal antibody therapy used in dogs with osteoarthritis. This injection has proven to greatly reduce arthritic pain and takes away the hassle of administering daily oral medications💊 If your pet isn’t responding to oral anti-inflammatories, take to your vet about Librela🐾

The face of the goodest boy🖤 Diesel has visited us a few times recently for a recurring abscess on his cheek. Abscesses are pockets of infection which are the result of wounds healing too quickly, trapping bacteria under the skin🦠 Some abscesses are easily drained and flushed, but there are times when surgical intervention is required.

Last week we drained Diesel’s abscess and sent the contents out for testing👨🏽‍⚕️🧪
Keep Diesel your thoughts and prayers as our doctors find a solution🐾

A couple weeks ago we highlighted Baxter who had an amazing fracture repair. Today we’d like to shine the spotlight on Thor, who dislocated his shoulder. Shoulder dislocations are rare and being able to put the joint back in place is equally uncommon. Due to the rarity of his condition, it was a privilege to treat and care for Thor. Thank you to his family for trusting us with his care.

Frenchies are quickly becoming one of America’s most loved breeds. We have encountered some fractures that seem to affect this breed disproportionately in their puppyhood. This 4 month old puppy experienced a Tibial tuberosity and tibial plateau avulsion fracture from something as simple as jumping off the bed. Fracture was fixed with k wires and tension band. This puppy should do well, and our advise is to discourage frenchie puppies to jump off furniture or owners arms until they are adults.

Let’s start the day off with this handsome boy, Gio!🐱 Gio got to stay the night with us last weekend for a urethral blockage. This is commonly caused by stones in the bladder that formed from crystals. Once the stones are formed, they are surgically flushed out- which is the procedure Gio went through. He is now home and doing well💙 Thank you to his dad for allowing us to care for him.

🐾 Compassionate Care for Your Pet’s Final Moments 🐾

At Armstrong Pet Hospital, we understand that saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. Preplanning for euthanasia can help ensure your furry friend’s final moments are filled with love and peace. Here are some considerations to help you determine when it might be time:

🔍 Quality of Life: Assess your pet’s quality of life. Are they still able to enjoy their favorite activities, or are they in constant pain or discomfort?

🍲 Appetite and Hydration: Notice any significant changes in eating or drinking habits. A loss of appetite or severe weight loss can be indicators.

🚶 Mobility: Evaluate their ability to move around. Difficulty in walking, standing, or frequent falls are important signs.

🛌 Behavior Changes: Pay attention to changes in behavior such as withdrawal, increased aggression, or signs of confusion.

⚕️ Medical Conditions: Consider the progression of any chronic or severe medical conditions. Sometimes, treatment options may no longer improve their quality of life.

🐶 Veterinary Advice: Consult with our veterinary team. We can provide a professional perspective on your pet’s health and quality of life.

🐱 Personal Reflection: Reflect on your own observations and feelings. Trust your instincts and the bond you share with your pet.

Planning for veterinary euthanasia ensures your pet’s final moments are filled with love and peace.

❤️ Emotional Support: We’re here for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us or seek support from friends, or family.

🌈 Remember the Good Times: Cherish the memories and celebrate the joy your pet brought into your life.

Making this decision is one of the hardest parts of being a pet owner, but it’s a final act of love we can give our loyal companions.

If you have any questions or need support, please contact us at

Look at these babies!😍 By the looks of them, you wouldn't have guessed that 3 of them are FIV positive. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) can be spread between cats primarily through bite wounds. Mother cats that are in the early stage of infection can also spread it to their kittens. Should you welcome a sweet kitten into your home off the streets, early testing is STRONGLY encouraged in order to start treatment or vaccinations ASAP.
