The month of April is Heartworm Prevention Month 🦟❤️‍🩹

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in dogs that causes severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body.

How do pets contract it?
Infections do start from mosquitoes that carry heartworm larvae. If a mosquito carrier bites your pet, the larvae enters their bloodstream and grows in their arteries, heart and lungs.

If you do have a heartworm positive pet, there is treatment. Although treatment can be costly, timely and intense to undergo, the outcome is effective. However, if left untreated, heartworms will continue to grow, produce offspring and increase the number of heartworms.

How to prevent Heartworm Disease?
Luckily, heartworm prevention is easy! There are several heartworm preventatives that you can be prescribed by your vet. Prevention can be given orally, topically or as an injection. Preventative are fairly inexpensive and should be routinely given.

We want to remind every pet owner how important it is to keep up with your preventatives, even for indoor animals! Help stop the spread of heartworm disease by keeping your pets up-to-date on their monthly preventatives and annual wellness exams! Contact your veterinary clinic and ask about different preventions they offer especially with warmer weather approaching! 🐶

We're pleased to welcome Dr. Natalie Dennis to our team here at Arroyo! She started with us part-time this past fall and is fitting in wonderfully!

Dr. Dennis graduated in 2017 from St. Matthew’s University in the Cayman Islands after completing a year of clinical rotations at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. She moved to Las Cruces from Colorado with her 3 dogs and 3 cats and has since discovered a genuine bond with the Arroyo Vet team. When not snowboarding, making music, or running races to beat her fastest personal record, Dr. Dennis loves making close bonds with patients and their owners, helping pets live life to the fullest by providing exceptional care during all life stages. Her passion is in feline medicine and internal medicine.

Did you know that Arroyo offers Canine Rehab (physical therapy) for dogs and cats that have been injured or are Post-Op? Dr. Jones is a CCRP and works with a variety of cases, from cruciate injury dogs to paralyzed pets to osteoarthritis pets and more. Her dedication and hard work help get our friends comfortable and moving again.

Emmit is a recent graduate of Dr. Jones program. He is 4 year old mixed breed dog that had bilateral luxating patella's and subsequently injured his cruciate ligament on his right leg as well. He was treated surgically but needed help in the recovery phase post-op as he wouldn't walk at all. Now Emmit is up happily walking and following his favorite rehab tech all around the hospital and enjoying lunch together after finishing his sessions.

Animals are such agreeable friends- they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

Ace, a Cane Corso weighing in at 155 #, came for his annual visit with Dr. Jones this week. He made himself quite comfortable in mom's lap! Ace is 1 of the 9 dogs we have that is over 150 # coming to our Clinic currently.

Here is some information for pet owners regarding the Canine Respiratory Illness.

Based of the New Mexico Department of Agriculture, here are some key points:
* Keep vaccines updated: Ensuring dogs are up to date with vaccinations is critical. While the existing vaccines may not specifically target this unknown infection, maintaining overall health through routine vaccinations can help support a dog's immune system in combating various infections. Optimal protection against common respiratory infections includes the annual intranasal vaccine for Bordetella, Adenovirus 2, and parainfluenza vaccine, combined with the injectable influenza H3N2 vaccine. Avoid bringing a dog into the community until two weeks after the last dose of a vaccine and immunity has developed.

* Watch them closely: Monitor dogs closely for progressive coughing that may be accompanied by signs of ocular or nasal discharges and sneezing.

* Consult your veterinarian: If these clinical signs develop, consult your veterinarian immediately, particularly if your dog concurrently loses its appetite, has trouble breathing, is coughing continually, or is extremely lethargic.

* Avoid voluntary gatherings of dogs: For the time being, it would be prudent to avoid dog parks and other social events where your dog could have contact with dogs of unknown vaccination or health status. If boarding, day care, or grooming are required, complete the vaccinations described above before attending.

* Additional resource: Colorado State University has published current recommendations for keeping dogs safe. Visit the CSU website for more information on their response and recommendations.

We would like to share Tootsie's story. She is a black poodle who suffered a back injury and has been paralyzed from the waist down. Tootsie is able to get out on her wheelchair during the day at Arroyo Veterinary Clinic as much as possible. Although she needs help when going potty, this does not stop her from speeding off and roaming through the clinic any opportunity she gets. She is currently in physical therapy specifically, water therapy, here with us and on the weekends, she even gets to go home with Dr. Jones and continue her water therapy at her home.
Tootsie's injury has not stopped her from being the joyful and perky little furbaby that she is and she is slowly getting better.
Share a feel good story with us down in the comments:)
