Warning:๏ธ this post is about p**p! ๐ฉ If youโve ever wondered why youโre asked to bring in a f***l sample as part of your petโs annual wellness exam, the answer is to check for intestinal parasites.
There are a variety of parasites that thrive inside of otherwise healthy pets, so having them routinely tested is essential to their well-being. Your pet's p**p will be checked for evidence of hookworms, roundworms, giardia, and more. ๐ฌ
These parasites can not only make pets uncomfortable and irritable but can also lead to many more serious issues if left untreated. Several parasites can even be transmitted to people, so by having your petโs f***s examined, you are protecting humans in your household, too!
To learn more about what intestinal parasites we test for in f***l exams, visit:
Hi all, my name is Dr. Rhaela Snow of N Bar Veterinary Services. Asโฆ Rhaela Snow needs your support for Veterinary Medical Supplies for Ruidoso Area Wildfires
Reminder to start planning now if your pet needs sedatives for 4th of July celebrations!
*We require a 24 hour prescription notice, please don't wait until the last minute.
We will be closed on Thursday July 4th.
Check your pet for ticks every day, especially after they spend time outdoors. Run your fingers through your pet's fur with gentle pressure to feel for any small bumps. If you find a tick, itโs important to act quickly and safely. You can either try to remove the tick yourself or take your dog to your nearest pet urgent care or an emergency pet hospital for help.
If you choose to remove the tick from your dog, follow the steps below:
1) Use tweezers (or a tick remover instrument like a Tick Key) to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible, removing the whole head and body.
2) Pull the tick straight out with slow and steady pressure. (If the head of the tick is left in the skin, it can cause an infection and still transmit disease, so make sure the whole body is removed!)
3) Once the tick is removed, you can place it in a sealed container in case your vet wants to test it for diseases.
4) Clean the area of your dogโs skin with soap and water then apply a pet-safe antiseptic.
5) Contact us for advice on next steps. We may ask you to bring the tick in for testing.
Many of the diseases that parasites cause can spread from your pet to you and your family, too. Pests like and can crawl or hitch a ride into your home on shoes, clothing, or even on the fur of another pet. Itchy yet? Letโs talk pests:
๐ท๏ธ Ticks ๐ท๏ธ
Not only are ticks a threat to our pets, but an estimated 476K Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year.* They arenโt just a warm weather issue, either: contrary to popular belief, ticks donโt die in the winter and do not hibernate, either. If you or your pet spend time in grassy or wooded areas, get in the habit of spot-checking yourself and them for these small, spider-like creatures after every outing. If you find one, pull it off carefully and intact, then call us.
๐ Fleas ๐
These teeny-tiny jumping parasites arenโt just annoying for the itchy rashes they cause in pets and people. Studies have shown that the plague is once again on the rise and that fleas are one of the culprits. Fleas can multiply and jump from host to host alarmingly fast, so if you catch your pet itching more than usual, have them checked for fleas ASAP.

This is a great opportunity for dogs who play off leash in the desert and for those who find rattlesnakes in their yard. Bite prevention is best!
Thursday June 6, 2024
We will be closing at 4pm for staff training.
In case of an emergency please call El Paso Animal Urgent Care West at 915-301-0065
In observance of Memorial Day, we will be closed Sunday May 26th & Monday May 27th.
We honor those who have lost their lives serving in the United States military.
that ONE bite from an infected mosquito is all it takes to transmit to your dog or cat? Scary, but true. Mosquitoes thrive all over the US, and not just during summer: different breeds are active throughout the year. ๐ฆ
Treating disease caused by parasites in dogs can be complex and costly, and options are limited for cats. But there is good news: oral, injectable, or topical preventive medications are effective ways to protect your pet and are much more affordable than treatment itself, but *only* if your pet receives the recommended dose on a monthly or yearly basis. We can help find the right preventative for your pet based on their lifestyle and health needs, so donโt delay: book a visit today!

Don't delay โ schedule your pet's dental cleaning today and save! ๐ฆทโจ Now through April 14, take $50 off a dental cleaning for your dog or cat when you book with code 24CLEAN50. Oral health is essential to overall pet health, so make dental care part of their annual wellness routine to keep your pet in tip-top shape. To brush up on your pet wellness knowledge, visit: https://www.thrivepetcare.com/brushing-up-on-wellness
*Blood and urine testing must be completed within 30 days before dental cleanings. Offer valid 2/1/24 to 4/14/24. Cannot be combined with other offers or promotions. Offer valid for dental cleanings only and at select locations; excludes exams, extractions, and oral surgeries. Subject to availability.
Our pets canโt tell us when theyโre experiencing pain and discomfort, so ensuring theyโre checked routinely from nose to tail can help them live longer, fuller lives. ๐ This includes diagnostic testing, which is needed ahead of dental cleanings and can be done as part of their annual wellness exam. Testing healthy petsโ blood and urine also provides baseline values to compare to as they age, while f***l testing helps detect intestinal parasites that live and thrive in your pet's gastrointestinal tract. Like with regular testing, a baseline allows us to detect changes and illness before ever seeing outward signs of disease. ๐ฌ

Dr. Walley discusses the importance of annual exams for your pets.
โMaggieโ update: She is making remarkable progress. Yesterday, she was eating, drinking, and almost walking on her own. She loves her treats and were used to encourage her to walk with the assistance of a sling as her hind legs were too weak. Today, we are happy to say that she walked on her own! She has gained a little bit of weight and her eyes look significantly better. Thank you everyone that have been showing concern and support and to our staff for the commitment and dedication to โMaggieโ and all other patients.
