Behavioral changes can often be the first sign of underlying health issues, and early detection can make a significant difference in treatment and outcome.
1.Tail Wagging

Dogs: A wagging tail often signifies happiness or excitement, but the speed and direction of the wag can provide more context. A slow wag might indicate cautiousness, while a broad, fast wag usually means your dog is very happy to see you.

Cats: Tail movements in cats can be more complex. A high, quivering tail often shows happiness or excitement, whereas a low, twitching tail might signal irritation or fear.
2. Vocalizations

Dogs: Barking, whining, or growling each have different meanings. Barking can indicate excitement, alertness, or anxiety, while whining often suggests distress or a need for attention. Growling is usually a sign of discomfort or aggression.

Cats: Meowing can range from greetings to demands for food. Purring typically signifies contentment, but can also occur when a cat is in pain. Hissing and growling are clear signs of fear or aggression.

3. Body Language

Dogs: A relaxed body posture with open mouth and soft eyes indicates a calm and happy dog. Raised hair, a stiff body, and direct eye contact might suggest fear or aggression.

Cats: A relaxed cat will have a loose body, half-closed eyes, and may knead with their paws. A cat that’s frightened or agitated will have wide eyes, ears flat against their head, and an arched back.

4. Eating and Drinking Habits
Changes in your pet’s eating or drinking habits can signal health issues. Loss of appetite or excessive thirst might indicate underlying medical conditions that require attention.

If you notice any sudden or drastic changes in your pet’s behavior, it’s important to consult with us at 479.229.2600

🚨🚨TRIGGER WARNING 🚨🚨
‼️Graphic Images Below‼️

Picture 1: A normal uterus of a 7 lb dog.
Picture 2: A uterus from a 7 lb dog with Pyometra.

Pyometra is a potentially life threatening disease in which the uterus becomes infected during a heat cycle usually. Infection accumulats until the uterus ruptures releasing the infection into the rest of the abdomen which usually results in septic peritonitis and potentially death unless an emergency spay is performed to remove the infected organ.

PREVENTION: Spay your female unless breeding and once done breeding, spay.

🚨TRIGGER WARRING🚨 We had a kitty come in that had 2 large cysts one on each side of its face.Upon inspection we diagnosed the cat with a Cuterebra sp. which in laymen's terms for a Bot Fly. Normally we see this type of infestation in small forest mammals like squirrels and rabbits. As you can see dogs and cats can be hosts as well. The larvae hatches and enter the animal through natural body openings such as the nose or mouth. These larvae usually cause subcutaneous cysts, but can be also be found in nasal or oral regions, brain, or spinal cord. Surgical removal is most often the treatment of choice. We are so thrilled this was an "easy" fix and kitty is off to enjoy another great day lounging around.#blowflies #smallanimalvet #merrittvetcares #vettales #vetoddities #dardanellear

It's our Ribbon Cutting!

Dr. G here 👋🏻 It's Flea and Tick Prevention Month! Its time to protect your furry friends from pesky parasites. Make sure to schedule a visit today to discuss the best prevention options for your pet's health and well-being. Let's keep those tails wagging and purrs meowing happily! 🐶😺 #FleaAndTickPrevention #DrG #PetHealth #HappyPets #PreventionIsKey

What is your cat trying to tell you?

Did you know today is National Answer Your Cat's Question Day? 🐈 Not joking, it's actually a thing. Does your cat talk to you? Do you know what your cat is asking for?😸🎤🎶 Cat meowing is a form of communication with people. Interestingly, adult cats don't actually meow at each other but reserve that communication for their two-legged counterparts. #merrittanimalclinic #catlovers
