Low stress handling is important for any vet visit! Phoebe is being a purrfect patient for her blood draw while eating some cheese in a kitty towel burrito.
This video shows Clover the Welsh Terrier exhibiting a behavior we sometimes refer to as barbering. It can look different in different dogs and can include nibbling and licking. Cats also barber, especially on their bellies. There are a variety of reasons for this behavior: allergies, pain, and anxiety are common ones. It should be addressed as it can create skin damage and further irritate the underlying issues.

For Senior Pet Month we're highlighting some issues we may see with older pets. Clover was the star of some previous videos this month, and she's made a comeback! In the last pair of videos we showed some behavioral changes we can see during walks in pets with Cognitive Dysfunction. There are a variety of reasons why dogs or cats may show a burying behavior with food, but Clover's behavior changes around eating correlated with her other changes and this is one example of compulsive behavior charges we can see with Seniors.

Cloverโs WalkโPart 2 videoโฆ.
Since September is Senior Pet Month, we wanted to highlight a condition that we can see with older pets. These videos show Clover, a Welsh Terrier, getting a bit confused before starting a walk. Her owner carried her down the road just a bit then she regained her composure and had a normal, happy walk! Confusion can be a sign of Canine Cognitive Dysfuntion, and we have a variety of things we can do to support dogs (and cats - they can get cognitive dysfunction too!) with this condition. Stay tuned on our page for things that can help, or give us a call at (614)888-2100! You can also search DISHAA on the web to learn more about common symptoms.

This is Clover the Welsh Terrier! Here she is wading in the Mad River while out for some exercise. Exposure to water like this greatly increases the risk of Leptospirosis infection. This bacteria can cause major illness for dogs. For this reason Clover's mom always chooses to vaccinate her for this disease, along with others based on her lifestyle.
Remember to keep your pets cool ๐ in this heat!
This is Eggnog, a kitten that Dr. Laughman adopted through For The Love Of Jane rescue. He's exhibiting some mild signs of stress in the car. This is a common thing for kitties and we are happy to talk about ways to keep your pets happy!
