‼️ Head’s up that this post contains wound images that may be graphic to some! ‼️

Sweet Tricksey ran away for a few days in December and returned home with a large open wound that needed to be addressed quickly. 🫣 Her owner visited another clinic right after the injury was discovered, then came to Dr. Quinn in the hopes of a second opinion, concerned that surgery might be her only option. Dr. Quinn examined Tricksey and determined that though surgery could be an option, a combination of diligent wound care plus twice-weekly therapeutic ⚡️ laser treatments might do the trick, too. After about four weeks of frequent visits to Comer Vet, we are happy to share that Tricksey’s wound is not only closed, but is nearly unrecognizable as the gaping injury it was during her first exam!

Therapeutic laser treatment is officially called “photobiomodulation”, and can be used to start a chain reaction in tissue cells that in some studies have been shown to reduce inflammation, pain, and/or surgical site infections. Our therapeutic laser gets a lot of use around here, and cases like Tricksey’s are evidence as to why we might recommend it for your pet!

The Comer Vet team got to shell-ebrate 🐚 an Athens Rock Lobsters win on Sunday evening during 🏒 Pucks & Paws Night! We were proud to sponsor this event alongside 23 Design Birmingham, and it was such a rush to see all the dogs wearing our commemorative bandanas. 💙 A huge thank-you to Brandon Lee of the Rock Lobsters staff for working with us to make our table and giveaway a success! More than 400 fans stopped by to get treats and bandanas for dogs, cats, and even a couple reptiles. Repo, our officially-unofficial clinic mascot, even got selected to ride on the ice during second intermission!

🎉 We would like to shout-out the members of our team who were able to attend and represent the clinic: Dr. Strickland, Dr. Adams, vet tech Jessica, and receptionist Erica. This event would not have come together without their support and willingness to put their 🦞 CLAWS UP on their off-day!

This microscope slide may look celestial and lovely, but that’s no moon, Skywalker! 🌕 Vet assistant Kelsi captured this evidence of Giardia during a f***l smear. Giardia can affect humans and pets — though the species that infests humans is not usually the same as the one found in animals. It presents with symptoms like diarrhea, gas, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, 🤮 BUT 🤮 it is possible to be infected with zero visible symptoms, which is why you hear us talking about regular f***l exams on your pets. Puppies and kittens are more likely to get Giardia than adult dogs and cats, and the microscopic parasite spreads through contaminated 💩, dirty litter boxes or crates, and infested soil and water.

If we find out Giardia infected your pets, your vet will put them on a treatment plan immediately! You can also reduce the risk of Giardia by …
🌀 Always removing p**p from your yard by putting it in a bag and throwing it away
🌀 Cleaning and disinfecting pet items, including litter boxes, toys, and crates
🌀 Washing your hands after touching pets, cleaning the litter box, and scooping p**p
🌀 Limiting pets’ access to outside bodies of water
🌀 Bathing animals to remove any f***s from their fur
🌀 Limiting dogs’ access to dog parks or public spaces if they have diarrhea or have been diagnosed with Giardia
🌀 Removing standing water from outside (which also will help prevent mosquito-borne illnesses!)

When you first arrive for each appointment at Comer Vet, our support staff will weigh your pet — sometimes this happens on the big scale in the lobby, and for smaller or crated pets this takes place in the exam room. Though keeping an eye on your pet’s weight is important when it comes to nutrition and exercise, there are other reasons we keep track of this in patient records! Your pet’s weight can help our vets …

💙 Make sure young animals are growing appropriately
💉 Properly dose out certain vaccines or medications
🍽️ See if recommended changes in diet or exercise are/aren’t working
🪱 Monitor for potential symptoms of illness or parasites
🐾 Ensure a healthy weight to prevent or relieve joint pain, especially in senior animals
