Happy (and safe) Halloween! Lights and decorations, costumes and masks, doorbells and squeals, lots of open doors......and even a pet that might bite someone's child out of fear. Halloween can be a downright spooky for pets with risks of poisoning, intestinal blockage, and lost pets.

It's that time of year again for the Oral Rabies Vaccine Bait to be distributed in areas of Carter County, Washington County and other areas along the areas marked in the map for Tennessee, Virginia, North Caroling and West Virginia. In our area the bait drop should occur between October 4-21. I'm sorry for the long post but this is so important.

Rabies is a serious public health concern. While rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, it also is 100% preventable. Human exposures can be successfully remedied if medical attention is sought immediately following exposure. Costs associated with rabies detection, prevention and control may exceed $500 million annually in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 90 percent of reported rabies cases in the United States are in wildlife. In our area, raccoons in particular, but also foxes, and skunks are high risk animals for human and pet exposure.

Much work and money goes into protecting the public as well as our pets from wildlife rabies. It is equally important for pet owners to do their part. PLEASE PLEASE have your dogs and/or cats vaccinated against rabies. In this day of vaccine "fear", I promise you that NOT vaccinating against rabies is a much worse fear.

The oral vaccine is safe for many animals, including domestic dogs and cats. Humans and pets cannot get rabies from contact with the baits but should leave them undisturbed if they are encountered. Dogs that consume large numbers of baits may experience an upset stomach, but there are no long-term health risks. If adults or children come in contact with baits, immediately rinse the contact area with warm water and soap.

Many may already know but we have some news to share from our clinic: Dr. Hayden Hale, who has been at Pinecrest for over 8 years (one year as a doctor and the rest while in school) is getting married this fall and will be moving to Virginia. So even this sad news has some happiness mixed in because he is beginning a new chapter in life with his bride-to-be, Mckenzie. We will miss him very much. Although we are happy for this couple and celebrate with them, it sure hurts to see him go.
Dr. Hale will be continuing to practice veterinary medicine in the Radford area of Virginia.

Our good news: Dr. Scott Wiseman will be joining the Pinecrest family. Actually, we are welcoming him back to Pinecrest. He was here during his pre-vet college days. Dr. Wiseman is a 2022 graduate from the North Carolina College of Veterinary Medicine. We know our clients will find Dr. Wiseman very likeable and will be able to trust their pet’s care to this newest member of our team. Dr. Wiseman is married to Hannah Wiseman and they have one son, Jack.

While we know no one takes anyone’s place, Dr. Wiseman will make his own place here. Doctors Kapoor, Hinkle and Taber as well as the rest of the staff are glad to have him here. Join us in giving him a warm welcome. Pictured: Dr. Hale (left) and Dr. Wiseman (right).

We are posting these five pictures to try and help find a new home for seven adult cats and one adult dog. Very difficult and heartbreaking health situations have resulted in these kitties (and also dog) needing to be re-homed. Please contact the clinic if you have interest in adopting one (or more) of these adult pets. The dog and cats are indoor/outdoor. Additional photos can be made available. The dog is brindle and about 60 pounds. Clinic email: [email protected] or text/phone 423 926-6091.

What a cute close-up of this beagle. Is this one scared, happy, comfortable, ready to react with a sniff....or a bite? There are lots of resources to learn how to read "body language" for pets. Even if you are good at this, remember any dog can bite.So, before you reach to pet even a cute dog, get permission from the owner!
Dog Bite Prevention Week April 7 -14: Here is part 3 (of 3) of the information posts we have for you from the AVMA and Pinecrest Veterinary Clinic.
OTHER TIPS TO HELP PREVENT OR STOP A DOG BITE
• Don’t run past a dog. Dogs naturally love to chase and catch things. Don’t give them a reason to become excited or aggressive.
• Never disturb a dog that’s caring for puppies, sleeping, or eating. • Never reach through or over a fence to pet a dog. Dogs can be protective of their territory and may interpret your action as a threat.
• If a dog approaches to sniff you, stay still. In most cases, the dog will go away when it determines you are not a threat.
• Always provide a dog the option to leave.
Never force a dog to interact with you, a child, or another animal. Having the choice to walk away helps prevent a dog from feeling trapped and scared.
• Do not lean over a dog. This may be interpreted by the dog as threatening, which can make it anxious and more likely to bite. • Don’t reach into a dog’s personal space. Stand with your side to the dog and let the dog approach you. If the dog does not approach you, do not pet the dog. If the dog approaches and invites interaction, pet the dog calmly and gently on its body. • If you are threatened by a dog, remain calm. Don’t scream or yell. If you say anything, speak calmly and firmly. Avoid eye contact. Try to stay still until the dog leaves, or back away slowly until the dog is out of sight. Don’t turn and run.
• If you fall or are knocked to the ground, curl into a ball with your hands over your head and neck. Protect your face.

For National Dog Bite Prevention Week in April. These posts are not meant to scare or upset. But it is a fact that so many dog bites can be prevented. As a veterinary clinic of course we celebrate the wonderful bond between pets and their people. We just want to remind you about the importance of preventing dog bites. So here goes part 2:
HOW CAN MY FAMILY AND I AVOID BEING BITTEN? Be cautious around strange dogs and treat your own pet with respect. Because children are the most common victims of dog bites, parents and caregivers should use extra caution: • Never leave a baby or small child alone with a dog. • Be alert for potentially dangerous situations, and take measures to prevent or stop them from escalating. This includes teaching children to avoid approaching or disturbing dogs who are sleeping, eating, or nursing puppies. • Teach children – including toddlers – to be careful around and respectful of pets. Teach children not to approach strange dogs or try to pet dogs by reaching through fences. Teach your children to appreciate unfamiliar dogs from afar, and to respect that not all dogs want to be petted by strangers or by children. If a leashed dog appears to seek your child’s attention, ask permission from the owner before allowing your child to pet the dog. If your child does pet a dog, make sure the child keeps their face away from the dog’s mouth and pets the dog as instructed by the owner. Do not let your child hug an unfamiliar dog; for that matter, even the family dog might not appreciate being startled while asleep for a hug. Or getting petted or hugged while trying to eat. Or getting picked up while hurting from an injury.
