🐶✨ Check out this time-lapse video of Dr. Bill, Holly, and Adrienne in action! Here, Dr. Bill using a ligature on Milo, the French Bulldog. For those wondering, a ligature is a special surgical tool that clamps, cauterizes, and cuts all at the same time during a procedure. The ligature not only saves time but also ensures there is no bleeding and no sutures are needed!

Milo recently underwent some significant surgery: a soft palate resection, nares surgery, and a tonsillectomy. Let's break down what each of these procedures involves:

🔹 Soft Palate Resection: Bulldog breeds often have elongated soft palates that can obstruct their airways. This procedure shortens the soft palate to improve breathing.

🔹 Nares Surgery: Bulldogs can have narrow nostrils that make breathing difficult. Nares surgery widens these nostrils to help them breathe more easily.

🔹 Tonsillectomy: Removing the tonsils can help reduce inflammation and infection, which is particularly helpful for bulldogs who are prone to throat issues.

These surgeries are crucial for bulldogs like Milo, who often struggle with breathing problems due to their unique facial structure. Thanks to Dr. Bill and the team, Milo will be breathing easier and feeling much better soon! 🐾💪

🚨 Why Spaying Your Pet is So Important 🚨

Spaying your pet is more than just preventing unwanted litters—it's a critical step in protecting your pet's health! One of the serious risks that spaying can prevent is pyometra. Pyometra (uterine infections) is something we see quite often, especially in middle age to older pets. Don't let your pet be at risk for this very preventable condition!

What is Pyometra?
Pyometra is a severe and potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus that affects unspayed female pets. It can occur when the uterus fills with pus, leading to symptoms like lethargy, vomiting, increased drinking, and a swollen abdomen. If left untreated, pyometra can lead to systemic infection and even death.

Why Spaying Matters
By spaying your pet, you eliminate the risk of pyometra entirely. This procedure also helps prevent other health issues like mammary tumors and certain reproductive cancers. Plus, your pet will avoid the stress and complications of repeated heat cycles.

Protect Your Pet
Talk to our doctors about the best time to spay your pet and take this important step towards ensuring their long-term health and happiness. 🐾

🐾 Attention, all dog lovers! 🐾

Heartworm prevention isn't just a recommendation—it's a MUST for our furry friends! 💔🐶

Check out this eye-opening video showing microfilaria, the tiny heartworm larvae, which can develop into a major threat to our dogs' health. 😱

Why is heartworm prevention so crucial? Let me break it down:

1️⃣ **Heartworm Disease**: These pesky parasites, transmitted through mosquito bites, can wreak havoc on a dog's heart and lungs, leading to severe health issues and even death if left untreated.

2️⃣ **Costly Treatment**: Treating heartworm disease is not only emotionally draining but also financially burdensome. Prevention is far less expensive than the extensive treatment required to rid a dog of heartworms.

3️⃣ **Pain and Discomfort**: Infected dogs may suffer from coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty breathing. It's heartbreaking to watch our beloved pets endure such pain.

4️⃣ **Long-term Health Effects**: Even if successfully treated, heartworm disease can leave lasting damage to a dog's organs, impacting their quality of life.

5️⃣ **Preventive Measures are Simple**: Thankfully, preventing heartworms is relatively easy with regular medication prescribed by your vet. A simple monthly pill or topical treatment can keep your furry friend safe.

Let's prioritize our pups' health and well-being by staying vigilant with heartworm prevention! ❤️
