We all know yawns can be ‘contagious’, but did you know that your yawn can make your dog yawn?

A University of Tokyo study found that just over half the dogs monitored yawned after watching their owners yawn. The researchers also had the dogs watch a stranger yawn, resulting in dogs yawning about half as frequently. What’s more, a University of Portugal study found that 12 of 29 dogs yawned when they heard a recording of their owners yawning.

Here at local mobile, we try and avoid childhood memories like this one….. TBT to when one of our vets wrote a story about her kitten going to the vet. Pictured here is Oreo on the floor of the passenger’s seat. (Note passenger knees and stick shift)

Also letting your kitten play with a ball of yarn is very dangerous and not recommended.

The answer to yesterday’s post is ‘Iris Bombe’”

Iris bombe is a rare condition, also known as complete posterior synechiae, is an eye condition in cats that occurs when the iris becomes completely attached to the lens capsule as a result of inflammation within the eye. This creates a 360 degree area of attachment to the lens and the iris seems to billow forward.

This can occur as a result of glaucoma, trauma, and infection, among others.

Luckily this finding was incidental in a feral cat. At the time of this photo she was very comfortable, but could not see from this eye. This was likely the result of a trauma earlier in her life. We did check her eye pressure using a tonometer to be sure that she did not have active glaucoma (increased eye pressure).

Anybody know what this eye condition is called?

Check back on Medical Monday to see if you are correct

Happy Caturday from Tink 😸

12/27/2024

Please give a warm welcome to our newest CSR, Kristen! You may interact with her on the phone or email or see her at the front desk if you stop by.

Kristen is from the midwest, but has called the Triangle area home for ten-plus years. Pets have always been a central part of her life and, among her many adventures with them, her cat KC even joined her for a 1,300 mile drive on the Alaska-Canadian Highway! An Air Force veteran, Kristen completed graduate studies at UNC-Chapel Hill and taught courses at local universities before transitioning to the veterinary setting.

Now, with over seven years of veterinary reception experience, Kristen thoroughly enjoys a lot about her job, but by far, feels that the most fulfilling aspect is getting to interact with others who have a special connection to their fur-babies. These days, her own furry family includes three terriers--Jack, Chelsea and Zoey--as well as a senior cat, Cody. In her "spare" time, she enjoys traveling, working in the garden and, every now and then, reading a good book.
