🎃🐾 Halloween is all about treats and fun, but some of our favorite sweets can be dangerous for our pets! Bulger Veterinary Hospital wants to remind you of a few Halloween treats to keep out of paw’s reach to keep your furry friends safe:

🚫 Chocolate – Toxic to dogs and cats, even in small amounts
🚫 Sugar-free candies or gum containing xylitol – Extremely harmful and can cause serious health issues
🚫 Raisins (especially chocolate-covered) – Can lead to kidney failure in pets
🚫 Candy Corn – High in sugar, which can upset their stomach
🚫 Caramel Apples – Sticky and full of sugar, they can cause digestive problems
🚫 Macadamia Nuts – Can be toxic and lead to weakness or vomiting

Let’s keep our pets safe this Halloween! If your pet does get into some spooky snacks, give us a call right away. 🎃🐶🐱

Diet plays a crucial role in managing and preventing heart disease in pets. Low-sodium diets, balanced nutrients, and specific supplements can help support heart health. It’s important to provide a diet that meets your pet’s nutritional needs while managing their heart condition. Consult with your primary care vet and our cardiology team at Bulger Veterinary Hospital to create a heart-healthy diet plan tailored to your pet. We’re here to help collaborate to make the best dietary choices for your pet’s heart health. 🐶🐱

Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) affects the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to an enlarged heart and weakened muscles. Symptoms include coughing, difficulty breathing, and exercise intolerance. Large breed dogs, such as Dobermans and Great Danes, are particularly at risk. At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, our cardiology team provides advanced diagnostics and treatment plans to manage DCM, helping to improve your dog's quality of life and longevity. If your pet shows any signs of heart issues, schedule a consultation with our experts today. 🐶❤️

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease in cats, characterized by thickening of the heart muscle. This condition can lead to symptoms such as lethargy, rapid breathing, and sudden collapse. Some cats may show no signs until the disease is advanced. Regular check-ups and early detection are crucial. If your cat shows any of these signs, seek veterinary care immediately. Our specialists at Bulger Veterinary Hospital are equipped to diagnose and manage HCM, providing your cat with the best possible care. Bulger is participating in the HALT study, which is a study investigating advancements in a drug for feline heart disease. 🐱❤️

Today, we pause to honor the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. We also pay tribute to the bravery and resilience of the first responders, including the courageous search and rescue dogs, who worked tirelessly in the aftermath of the tragedy.

At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, we are reminded of the unbreakable bond between humans and animals, and the incredible ways in which our pets support and heal us during difficult times.

Let us never forget the courage, unity, and compassion that emerged from that day. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy, and we stand with our community in remembrance.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a common condition in older pets, where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively.

At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, our cardiology team offers comprehensive care, including medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications, to help manage CHF. 🐾 "

Let's give a round of a-paws to Melanie! 👏🎉 Melanie, CVT, is one of our overnight emergency techs. She recently completed her FIRST solo surgery monitoring anesthesia during a foreign body removal! We are so incredibly proud of our staff when they are able to hit a milestone like this. Learning new skills is part of the job around here. 🩺

Ah, the cone of shame. Even pets who undergo a minimally invasive surgery need e-collars to properly heal. Watch Dr. Renzullo & Dr. Vernaleken try on and rate the cones themselves in this past PAWEDcast clip! 😂
