Just over 2 weeks ago we shared that Jelly, our hospital mascot/emotional support cavy, was making us laugh numerous times a day. Today we share the sad news that she passed away this afternoon from heart failure. She was 2 months shy of 5 years of age and only had one day of not feeling up to her normal talkative self. Will miss you Jelly.

Plan ahead
If you plan to travel outside the US (or going through Canada to Alaska for example) with your dog and then want to get them back into the US, there are new rules that take effect August 1st. They must be at least 6 months of age, have a microchip and be vaccinated for Rabies AFTER the microchip is implanted. Meaning, if your dog doesn't already have a microchip, it must have a microchip implanted and then given another rabies vaccine no matter when the last rabies vaccine expires. The rabies certificate must be endorsed by APHIS or a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection must be issued before travel and is only good for 30 days. This website has more information

Meet our newest team member, Jelly.
Jelly is a 4 year old Texel guinea pig (cavy) that spends her days loudly squeaking (demanding) food anytime any staff member walks down the hall, into the pharmacy and even more loudly if we are clear on the other side of the hospital. She has quickly taught all of us to reach into the refrigerator for a sprig of parsley, a few leaves of spring mix, a tomato (her favorite), a strawberry, carrot or whatever fruit or veggie we may share from or lunches.

She makes us laugh many times a day with her demands for fresh food. She complains that she is starving and that she needs food, and of course, we oblige.

Here's a few pictures of her learning to use the mouse and making a phone call. We are a bit worried about what she might order online or over the phone!

Greetings,
I am with the Rogue Valley Humane Society in Grants Pass Oregon. We have a dog that was being housed with a trainer in Eugene that had escaped in November. We have a group that traps lost scared pets and is working with us to capture her. She is very frightened and will run if approached. She was returning to the property daily but she was being pursued by several good Samaritans and is now off her normal path.
If you could please share this poster in your office, we would really appreciate it. If seen, please use contact number on poster. Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,
Maria Becket CVT
