Just a gentle reminder that Kanab Veterinary Hospital will be undergoing construction work from Monday, October 7th to Friday, October 11th.

Our reception area and telephone lines will remain operational for scheduling appointments, addressing inquiries, and facilitating payments.

It’s unfortunate that the construction process may cause loud noise and some dust. We have made every effort to reach out to our clients with appointments during this time, offering them the option to reschedule if they prefer.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection in dogs that can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and can even be fatal. The bacteria that cause leptospirosis are called Leptospira and can be found in soil and water.

Currently, this condition is not widespread in our area, but there have been instances of outbreaks in Southern Utah over the past couple of years. Animals that journey to nearby regions are at a higher risk of being impacted.

A vaccine is available to protect dogs against the most common strains of leptospirosis. Talk to your veterinarian today.

RESPONDING TO AND PREVENTING EQUINE EMERGENCIES
If you own horses long enough, sooner or later you are likely to confront a medical emergency. There are several behavioral traits that make horses especially accident-prone: one is their instinctive flight-or-fight response; another is their dominance hierarchy — the need to establish the pecking order within a herd; and a third is their natural curiosity and playful nature. Such behaviors account for many of the cuts, bruises, and abrasions that horses suffer. In fact, lacerations are probably the most common emergency that horse owners must contend with. There are other types of emergencies as well, such as colic, foaling difficulties, trailer injuries, dental care, eye concerns plus wound care and bandaging. As a horse owner, you must know how to recognize serious problems and respond promptly, taking appropriate action while awaiting the arrival of your veterinarian.

On Friday October 4th, 2024 between 6:30 pm and 8:00 pm at the North Events Center, 475 N. State Street, Orderville, UT 84758, our team of veterinary professionals will present an evening of valuable information to assist with preventing and responding to Equine Emergencies and answer any questions you may have.

Please share this information with any horse owner friends you have.
