Better late than never. Happy (belated) veterinary technician week to all of the amazing techs out there (this should also include all of the support staff) who are the heart and souls of every veterinary hospital. Our technicians and support staff work long hours (including nights and holidays) and sacrifice time with their family to ensure your pets are getting the care they need. Too often they do not get the credit they so rightfully deserve. Please make sure to recognize these important team members next time you take your pet to the vet.

* Warning, may be too gross for certain viewers*

Back by popular demand, some recent abscesses that were repaired by our team. Abscesses are extremely common in our line of work and are one of the most rewarding conditions to treat because we can provide these animals with instant relief. Most abscesses occur due to bite wounds or migrating foreign bodies (i.e. foxtails). In some cases we do not find an obvious cause or source for the infection but the treatment is the same: lance it and drain it.

On this weeks episode of "Your dog ate what", this poor girl decided that bacon grease coated gravel was just too irresistible. Fortunately her dad was astute enough to notice something was off when he picked her up and she felt like a bag of rocks. Surgery was successful and we were able to remove about 1/2 # of rocks from her tummy and push the remainder out through her colon.

Since we are officially in spring, a reminder to all cat owners out there about the potential risks Lilies pose to our feline friends.

Certain types of Lily plants (those considered "true lilies" or "day lilies") can cause kidney failure in cats. All parts of these plants are toxic but the flowers pose the greatest risk. Even mild exposure (brushing up against the flowers) can lead to inadvertent ingestion of the toxins from grooming behavior. For this reason it is best to avoid lilies altogether as other types of lilies can cause gastrointestinal upset.

If you believe your pet has been exposed to a toxic Lily plant it is best to confirm which type of Lily plant you own and seek immediate veterinary care.

For more information on Lily toxicity, see the aspca link below:

Lilies, in many forms, can be life-threatening to cats, but how can you figure out which to steer clear of? Well, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center has composed this list to keep you informed and your pets safe!
