We really, REALLY need to expand our raccoon enclosures and YOU can help! Keep reading, it’s easy! We are asking for donations to make several more enrichment-filled spaces for our growing raccoons.

Do you bank online? 💰We bet your bank is partnered with Zelle, an instant money transfer service that doesn’t charge us fees! ✅ Donate safely and with no hassle to our # at 904-779-5569.

Every donation goes towards creating a safe, nurturing environment for young raccoons to learn and grow, which is vital in helping them be prepared for release back into the wild.

Other ways to help include volunteering at our Wildlife Center by applying on our website at www.wildlifecoalition.com. We are so grateful
For our community’s help! 💜

The rainy season is here, and while this may be great for our grass and gardens, heavy rainfall can pose many problems for us and our pets.

One such danger is mushrooms! Mushrooms thrive on rain and can pop up in your yard overnight. Pets have been known to eat mushrooms in yards and while on walks, often attracted to the “fishy” smell they have. Take extra care to keep pets away from areas where mushrooms might be growing. There are thousands of mushroom species, with only about 100 being poisonous, but identifying which ones are toxic can be very difficult to do. The best thing to do is to remove them immediately and securely dispose of them to prevent accidental ingestion by your pets.

Symptoms of mushroom ingestion can include drooling, not eating, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and seizures.

As the raindrops dance and puddles form, a hidden danger lurks—leptospirosis. This bacterial menace, carried by wildlife, can sneak into your dog’s world, even reaching out to touch us humans. Let’s dive into the details:

What Is Leptospirosis?

Bacterial Intruder: Leptospirosis is caused by the cunning Leptospira bacteria.

Wildlife Connection: When rain pours, standing water becomes a canvas for wildlife urine, contaminating puddles, streams, and ponds.

Doggy Exposure: Your playful pup, whether sipping from these water sources or taking a splashy swim, faces the risk of transmission.

Symptoms to Watch For:
• Fever
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Increased Thirst
• Excessive Panting
• Black Stool

But wait, there’s hope! The leptospirosis vaccine stands as a shield against this bacterial villain. Make sure your dog stays up-to-date with their vaccination—it’s their superhero cape!

Why Microchips Matter:

• Tiny Guardians: Picture a minuscule chip, nestled beneath your pet’s fur. It’s their secret superhero, ready to leap into action if they ever wander off.
• Traceability Unleashed: Imagine the peace of mind knowing that even if your furball dashes away, their microchip holds the key to their safe return.
• Pet Owner SOS: We’ve all been there—your pet darts out the door, vanishing in a blink. Panic sets in. But fear not! Microchipping is our lifeline.

Cats hide almost everything, especially pain. But if your cat is suffering from osteoarthritis pain, you’ve probably noticed changes in their everyday behavior. Things like jumping, climbing stairs, and even playing might not be so easy for them. Without treatment, your cat's pain can continue to worsen.

Solensia is the first and only once-monthly monoclonal antibody therapy that controls feline osteoarthritis pain. It targets the nerve growth factor to control pain and functions like naturally occurring antibodies. Solensia helps improve your cat’s mobility, comfort, and well-being. With Solensia, your cat can get back to moving more freely again so you can truly enjoy the unique bond they share with you.

Librela is a monoclonal antibody that specifically targets a key driver of osteoarthritis pain. It works to reduce pain signals, making it easier for your dog to move and play. It is important that your dog is at an ideal weight and is getting the proper amount of exercise to help manage their osteoarthritis pain. Librela offers long-lasting pain relief with a once-a-month injection administered by our veterinarian. By reducing osteoarthritis pain and helping to restore mobility, your dog can feel better and you can get back to spending that quality time together.

We were notified of this baby armadillo in need, posted by a young teenager looking for help. We responded and let him know how to keep the baby armadillo safe overnight until we could take it in. He followed instructions perfectly and we took the baby the next morning.

We just want to highlight how important it is to teach your children to be kind to animals. This boy saw an animal in need and acted immediately. The armadillo is now in our care and will be raised by experienced fosters until it can be released safely.

Please teach children that animals have important lives, too. We can coexist with our native wildlife. We are grateful for this compassionate boy and we are optimistic for our future. 💚

Digital Imaging allows Dr. Jones and our staff to view x-rays more quickly, with less waiting time. Not only are better images captured, due to the immediate picture we receive, but digital imagery produces a much clearer, more detailed x-ray. Digital Imaging provides a balanced presentation of soft tissue and bone structure along with a clear and realistic representation of the anatomy of your pet. This means we can get an answer more quickly and efficiently, which helps us to meet our goal of getting our patients feeling better, faster.

With digital imaging, Mandarin Veterinary Clinic is able to provide excellent veterinary health care to all of our patients.
