🐾 Why Wellness Radiographs are Essential for Your Pet’s Health 🐾

Regular wellness checkups are crucial for keeping our pets happy and healthy, and one key component is wellness radiographs (X-rays). Here’s why they matter:
📸 Early Detection of Health Issues: Radiographs can reveal hidden problems like arthritis, tumors, or dental disease—conditions that might not be visible or causing symptoms yet.
👀 Internal Insight: These X-rays give vets a clear look at bones, organs, and tissues, helping them spot issues early on when treatment is most effective.
🐕 Pain Prevention: By identifying potential joint or bone problems, radiographs can help prevent chronic pain down the road, ensuring your pet stays comfortable.
❤️ Overall Wellness: Routine radiographs can be part of a comprehensive plan to keep your pet’s health in check as they age, ensuring they have the best quality of life.

Regular radiographs = healthier pets with fewer surprises! 🐾✨

🐾 Why Sedated Radiographs are Important for Your Pet’s Health 🐾

Did you know that sometimes, to get the best view of your pet's health, they may need to be sedated for radiographs (X-rays)? 📸

Sedation helps ensure: ✅ Accurate imaging without movement ✅ Reduces stress for anxious or painful pets ✅ Allows for a thorough examination, especially in areas that are hard to capture ✅ Prevents the risk of injury during the procedure
For pets with medical concerns like joint issues, internal conditions, or trauma, sedated radiographs are key to diagnosing the problem and creating a treatment plan. 🩺

What is H5N1?
H5N1, commonly known as avian influenza A or bird flu, is a highly pathogenic strain of influenza virus that primarily affects birds, but cases have recently been reported in wildlife, cattle, cats, and humans.
What do we know about the latest outbreak?
Recently H5N1 influenza cases have been reported in cats that have consumed contaminated commercial raw food diets, unpasteurized milk, or had contact with wild birds and cattle.
Precautions:
Consider discontinuing your pet’s raw diet. Even if their raw food is human grade, frozen, or freeze dried, this does not prevent the potential spread of pathogenic bacteria, parasites, or H5N1 that may be present in the food. Consider cooking your pet’s raw food and/or consulting your veterinarian about diet change.
Limit your pet’s access to wild birds that may be carrying the virus and avoid giving them raw milk.
What are the symptoms to watch out for in our pets?
Clinical signs in pets may include the following:
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Fever
• Neurologic signs (ataxia, circling, tremors, seizures, sudden blindness)
• Copious oculonasal discharge
• Difficulty breathing
We recommend seeking veterinary care if your pet shows any of these signs. If they are having any life-threatening symptoms (neurologic signs, seizures, difficulty breathing, or collapse) seek veterinary care immediately.
Can this cause illness in humans?
Yes, H5N1 can cause illness in humans. Current human infections have been linked to contact with infected cattle and wild birds. There is no current evidence of human to human transmission.
What is being done?
The CDC, FDA and USDA are closely monitoring cases as they develop. One voluntary product recall has been issued for contaminated raw food diets for cats & dogs. We are continuing to monitor this emerging virus.
Follow our animal health centers' social media accounts for regular updates.
