Attention cat owners 🐱
Did you know - feline osteoarthritis (OA) is an underdiagnosed condition that if left untreated can have detrimental effects on a cat’s life. Nearly 40% of all cats have clinical signs of OA, and 90% of cats over age 12 have radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis- nearly double that seen in dogs.

Now, help is finally available thanks to Solensia! It is the first and only monthly injection to control OA pain in cats.

Pictured below is Winnie and according to her family, it has changed her life.

Winnie's owners noticed she wasn't grooming well which is what brought her in to see us. This can be a common sign of arthritis, which was confirmed via radiographs. Winnie received her first Solensia injection here and within days, her owners started to see a change in her entire personality! More alert and bright, climbing stairs and cat trees which she had not done for some time, and she is even becoming more affectionate and grooming herself again! We look forward to seeing her and getting updates each month.

Pet's, especially cats, are masters of hiding pain and illness. Be mindful of even the most subtle behavior changes such as not grooming, issues jumping up or down, less active, or hiding. If you notice these signs in your cat, talk to your veterinarian Solensia.

Today is National Cookie Day! Many of the cookies we enjoy contain chocolate, raisins, or a sugar substitute called xylitol. All of these ingredients can be toxic to our dogs. So be sure to keep your sweets out of paws reach and only share pet friendly cookies!

When colds and flu symptoms hit, many people routinely take over-the-counter (OTC) medications without thinking how they may affect their pets. Here are a few ingredients you should be aware of that can be harmful to your pets. Remember to keep all medications out of paws reach and always consult a veterinarian before giving any medication to your pet.

Cough Drops
Xylitol is the main ingredient to be concerned about in cough drops. Ingestions of xylitol can lead to low blood sugar and potentially liver failure.

Pseudoephedrine
Pseudoephedrine (a decongestant) is one that often causes serious problems. Stimulatory signs such as agitation, hyperactivity, increased heart rate, blood pressure and tremors can be seen.

Dextromethorphan
(Cough suppressant)
This is a common ingredient in over-the-counter cold, congestion, and flu medications. Low doses can cause depressive effects such as ataxia and lethargy while higher doses can cause stimulatory effects to the cardiovascular and neurologic systems.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
This is commonly found in a lot of OTC products. It can lead to GI upset and even liver failure.

If your pet ingests any of these items, poison control should be contacted right away.

It's Small Business Saturday!

Most people are under the impression that their veterinary care provider is a locally owned and operated small business, but that may not be the case anymore.

Over the past few decades, many long-established veterinary practices have been purchased by large corporations or private equity firms. Meaning there are far less privately owned hospitals.

So we are proud members of the Independent Veterinary Practitioners Association as a small business that is independently and veterinarian owned, working and living in the same community with the pets we help.

Think twice before sharing bones from your plate. 🐶🦴🚫

Feeding your pet raw bones may seem like a natural and healthy option that might occur if your pet lived in the wild. However, this can be very dangerous for a domestic pet, who might choke on bones, or sustain a grave injury should the bone splinter and become lodged in or puncture your pet’s digestive tract. Always discuss with your veterinarian what foods you can safely give your pets.

What happens when your pet is sick or injured and your veterinarian needs to have a "closer look?" Sometimes we need more than just a physical exam and need to use diagnostics such as medical imaging to find out what's wrong with your furry friend to give him or her the best care possible.

Radiographs are the most common and are a very helpful tool in a veterinarian's investigative work. X-rays show internal structures, so we can quickly diagnose many conditions that we can't see by just looking at an animal. We offer digital radiographs and our highly trained veterinary technicians perform them multiple times a day. Within a few minutes, we are able to get full images of your pets whole body to assess their lungs, heart, intestines, organs and bones. Our doctors will share those images with you and go over in detail the results to hopefully get some answers so your pet can start feeling better faster.
