Littleton Area Veterinary Urgent Care- LAVES

🌸🌿Spring is here, but so are the hidden dangers in our homes! 🌿🌸
As flowers like Easter Lilies bloom, it's important to remember that many common plants are toxic to our furry friends!
Easter Lilies, for example, are dangerous to cats and can cause kidney damage—even in small amounts!
Other plants like daffodils, azaleas, and tulips can also pose a risk to pets.

🔴 What should you do if your pet ingests a toxic plant?

1. Call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 for expert advice (available 24/7).

2. Then, call an urgent care or 24 hour veterinary hospital.

You can give us a call at Littleton Area Veterinary Urgent Care at 603-444-5533.

Please have your ASPCA case number ready.—this helps save time and ensures we have the information needed to provide the best care for your pet.

💡Prevention is the best medicine! Keep toxic plants out of your pet's reach, and be extra cautious this spring.

☀️ Nice Weather = More Porcupine Encounters! 🦔

With the sun shining and warmer temps, we’re all spending more time outside—including our pets! But did you know porcupines don’t hibernate? That means pets can get quilled any time of year—it just seems to happen more often in the spring and summer when everyone’s out exploring.

Some dogs just have to investigate the “prickle pigs” and it never ends well.

If your pet gets quilled, here’s what to do:

❌ Don’t pull the quills out yourself—they’re barbed and can break off, making things worse.

❌ Don’t wait—quills can work their way deeper into the body, even into joints or organs.

✅ Keep your pet calm and still (we know, easier said than done).

✅ Get to the vet ASAP so we can safely remove them. Call us at 603-444-5533!

🐾 How to Avoid a Porcupine Showdown:

• Keep your dog on a leash, especially at dawn and dusk when porcupines are most active.

• If you see one, give it space—they don’t chase, but they will defend themselves!

• Work on recall training so your dog comes back when called (before they get too close!).

If your pup has a run-in with a porcupine, we’re here to help! Give us a call or bring them in, and we’ll take care of those quills.
