‼️ Ibuprofen Toxicity / Poisoning ‼️
Iggy accidentally got into his mom’s Ibuprofen!

Although relatively safe in humans, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs can be extremely harmful to dogs. Most common signs are irritation to the gastrointestinal tract including vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, depression, abdominal pain, pale gums, etc.

Iggy received lots of love, fluids, medications, and continuous blood work to monitor organ function. Luckily the owner took him straight to the vet when she found out and we were able to stabilize him and he is now back to himself!

Daisy presented with a fishing hook in her nostril 🎣
This is actually quite common. Dr. Dascoli was able to cut the barb off of it and removed it pretty easily!

Lil Bit presented to have his teeth extracted to finish his treatment for stomatitis with Dr. Dascoli 🦷

The best treatment for stomatitis is to extract most if not all of the teeth. This reduces the amount of bacteria present and reduces the inflammatory response.

Stomatitis is a painful inflammation and ulceration of a cat's mouth, including the gums, cheeks, tongue, lips, roof, and floor. It's a more severe form of oral inflammation than gingivitis, and can affect any cat breed, regardless of age or s*x.

National Dachshund Day!
Held annually on June 21st, the choice of day may seem arbitrary until you remember that, in the northern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year, and as Doxies have the longest body relative to their size, celebrating them on the longest day of the year seems fitting!

Next week is going to be HOT 🥵

Us humans are going to be hot, imagine how your pet feels with their fur coat on!

Tips to keep your pets safe:
- Stay inside!

- Avoid time outside during the heat of the day

- Limit walks and outside activities to early morning or later in the evening

- Check your walking paths before you go. Is the ground too hot for your hand? Then it's too hot for their paws! 🐾

- have PLENTY of water 💧 at all times!

- Do not leave an animal in a car unattended - air conditioners can fail in extreme temps and the dog can't escape 💔

Stay safe, stay cool 😎 your pets included!
