Our furry friends have complex emotions too, and sometimes, they may exhibit signs of fear, anxiety, or stress.

😢 In addition to obvious signs like shaking or hiding, dogs may also use self-soothing motions like yawning or scratching to alleviate nervous energy. They may even exhibit displacement behaviors like sniffing or running in circles.

Other signs of an anxious or fearful dog include stiff posture, avoiding eye contact, lip licking, and a tucked or frantically wagging tail. Stay tuned for more tips on how to help your furry friend feel more at ease.

Beware pet owners! Heartworms can be a serious threat to your furry friend's health.

When a mosquito bites an infected dog, they ingest heartworm larvae, which can mature in the mosquito before being transmitted to the next pet the insect bites. In dogs, heartworms can mature to adulthood, mate, and produce offspring in their heart, causing significant health problems. While cats are atypical hosts, immature heartworms can still cause them health problems.

Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan.

If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team at Bayou City Vet by calling 713-343-9909, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.

Antibiotics are effective at clearing Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, the causative agent of Lyme disease, but may not eliminate clinical signs.

Lyme disease-induced organ or joint damage (e.g., arthritis, stiffness) may persist and require additional therapy or care. If Lyme disease progresses undetected or untreated, neurologic signs, including seizures, are common, as well as kidney failure, which is often fatal.

Prevent this debilitating condition by contacting us at 713-343-9909 and asking about year-round tick prevention measures. Your furry friend will thank you! 🦟
