Lots of summer cookouts end with cool, refreshing watermelon. Watermelon is fun for pets; the high water content hydrates them and the glucose gives them energy. However, pets often swallow the seeds or eat the rind, and both can block the GI tract. To avoid GI blockages, cut the melon from the rind and remove the seeds before sharing this classic summer treat.

With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.
Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.
If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.

This is a microfilaria a.k.a. a baby heartworm. This is from a sample of blood that we took from a patient today, who was recently rescued. Its very important to make sure that your pets are on heartworm prevention for the entire year and not just for the protection of your own pet, but also for the protection of other pets in your area. The life cycle of a heart worm infection begins when a female mosquito bites an infected dog and ingests the microfilariae during a blood meal. The microfilaria develop further for 10 to 30 days in the mosquito's gut and then enter its mouthparts. At this stage, they are infective larvae and can complete their maturation when they enter a dog. The infective larvae enter the dog's body when the mosquito bites the dog. These infective larvae migrate into the bloodstream and move to the heart and adjacent blood vessels, maturing to adults, mating, and reproducing microfilariae within 6 to 7 months. This can be dangerous and damaging to your pet. If you aren't sure if your pet is up to date on heart worm testing and prevention, please give us a call at 706-864-1005 or text us at 706-622-6233. And don't worry! This patient is going to be just fine after her treatment. A very lucky girl who was just rescued by a great family! 💙
