🐾 Wildlife professionals across the Boulder County area have observed a concerning increase in positive distemper cases among raccoons. Distemper is a highly contagious virus that causes coughing, nasal discharge, diarrhea, loss of balance, and loss of fear of humans. Unfortunately, by the time community members find an ill raccoon, the disease has often progressed to more severe symptoms like head tilting, stumbling, seizures, and muscle twitching.

🦝 If you come across a raccoon displaying these signs, it is crucial to keep pets and children at a safe distance and promptly contact local animal control. Remember, never attempt to handle raccoons with your bare hands, even if they appear healthy. Seeing raccoons during the day is not a sole reason for concern. Please contact a professional if you are unsure about a suspected sick raccoon.

💉 Preventing the spread of distemper can be challenging, but there are steps we can take. Ensuring that your pets are up to date on their vaccination against distemper and promptly reporting sick animals to wildlife professionals can make a significant difference. Greenwood vaccinates all raccoons who are brought to us to help curb the spread of the disease.

🐕Distemper is not curable and can cause considerable suffering to affected animals. While the virus cannot be spread to humans, it is important to keep your distance from wild animals to ensure your safety and theirs. You can play a vital role in keeping the community safe by staying vigilant, reporting sick wildlife, refraining from contact, and keeping your pets vaccinated.

The AVMA, in partnership with the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association, has voiced strong opposition to the new midlevel practitioner called a “Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA)” proposed in Colorado. Multiple other veterinary organizations have voiced their opposition to a VPA and the list continues to grow.

For the latest information on this proposed role that poses considerable risks for animal health and safety, public health, and client trust, visit https://www.avma.org/advocacy/workforce-what-best-safe-quality-animal-care/colorados-proposed-vpa

We have been getting many questions about this proposition. Here is some information for you.

Proposition 129 won’t expand access to veterinary care or reduce costs for pet owners. A Veterinary Professional Associate (VPA) would not be able to prescribe medications, and they’ll add more oversight to licensed vets. Don’t fall for these false promises, vote NO on Prop. 129

The fourth of July is near and what better way to celebrate than with fireworks and sparklers. Although it may not be expected, dogs will chew on and eat fireworks and may become anxious due to the unexpected, loud sound. When ingested dogs can have GI upset, obstruction, and even damage to their red blood cells. It’s best to keep your furry friends inside while enjoying the pyrotechnics!

These are amazing animals

National is a day to honor the service and sacrifices of the U.S. Military Working Dogs both currently serving and those throughout our nation's history.

There are roughly 2,500 working dogs serving in the U.S. military today, with about 700 deployed overseas. They are vital members of our nation's armed forces and its mission to protect and defend our country.

Today, we take a moment of "paws" to salute our nation's K9 Veterans for both their service and sacrifice. Thank you for everything you do!
