J is for juvenile cellulitis, commonly called puppy strangles. Strangles occurs when a puppies immune system acts inappropriately and excessively, causing sudden swelling of the muzzle, eyes, and face, and can look like an extreme reaction to an insect bite. The throat lymph nodes will become enlarged, and the swelling will turn in to pimples that break open and bleed. The inside of the ear flaps and other parts of the body may also become affected. These lesions are more commonly painful rather than itchy. Fever, joint swelling, and decreased appetite may also be noted. Delayed treatment may lead to permanent hair loss, and can also be life threatening if not treated at all. Strangles is most commonly seen in puppies between the ages of 3-6 weeks. Generally a diagnosis is able to be made off of appearance, however a skin cytology is done to rule out something like mange, which can have similar symptoms. Treatment for strangles is a high dose of steroid to suppress the immune system, and is typically resolved within 10-14 days. Strangles are most commonly found in Golden Retrievers, Dachshunds, and Gordon Setters.

I is for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, commonly shortened to IBD. IBD occurs when there is inflammation in the intestinal tract. This inflammation disrupts nutrient movement and absorption, which can lead to decreased appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, and vomiting.
If your pet shows these signs chronic, speak with your veterinarian to start looking for a diagnosis.
There are numerous diseases that can cause GI distress, so a medical work up if needed. Running bloodwork can help rule out liver disease, kidney disease, pancreatitis, low cortisol, and thyroid imbalances. F***l testing and general deworming can rule out parasites. TLI levels are checked looking for a deficiency of digestive enzymes, and we can check for adequate levels of B-12 and folate being produced.
An abdominal ultrasound performed by a specialist can help us evaluate internal organs and intestines, and ultimately biopsies of the intestines can be used to confirm the diagnosis.
With food and medication, many cases of IBD can be very successfully controlled, although treatment is often lifelong.

Uh oh! Nyxie decided she was missing out on Halloween festivities, so she helped herself to quite a bit of candy 😜 Luckily her family noticed quickly and we were able to induce vomiting shortly after consumption. Nyxie ate about 20 mini chocolate bars, but did not eat the gummy bears that were also in the pile! 🧸🍫🍫🍫

⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ Blood, open incision, removed organs
The photos show an infected uterus, known as a pyometra, compared to a normal uterus on a similarly sized dog. Pyometra occur when bacteria travels through the va**na and infects the uterus. The bacteria and toxins then leak through the uterine wall into the bloodstream. This commonly occurs 1-2 months after a heat cycle of an intact female, and has increased risk of happening the longer the pet is intact. Typical side effects are decreased appetite, vomiting, lethargy, and in what is considered an open pyometra there may be some va**nal discharge. Treatment involves surgically removing the uterus and ovaries, as well antibiotics and pain medications. Routinely injectable antibiotics and hospitalization is required post-operatively depending on the severity of the case.
