Many of our staff are learning a lot at the virtual Exotic 365 conference! This conference includes talks about medications and surgeries focused on treating rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and all of our other tiny, furry friends. Our staff regularly attend continuing education opportunities like these so that we can continue to provide our patients with the absolute best care.
Archie, Romeo, and Lily are enjoying learning with us!

It’s National Ferret Day!!
This holiday is intended to focus on education about ferrets, their care, and being a responsible ferret owner.

Ferrets are some of our favorite patients to see, but we often find that first-time ferret owners can be surprised at the care that these little guys need over their life time. We recommend that ferrets are brought in for and exam every year, not only to keep their vaccines up to date, but to allow us to monitor them for age related changes (like adrenal changes and insulinomas)and communicate with you on these conditions.

Ferrets are carnivores. There are many ferret specific diets that are specially made for their nutritional needs, but many owners also find success with cat kibbles. Whatever your ferrets favorite food is, please ensure it contains NO PEAS. This can cause them to develop bladder stones.

Finally, if you have a ferret, you already know that these little noodles are always a beloved member of their family. Ferrets are high energy, social animals, so if you are thinking about getting ferrets, make sure that you have the time and ability give them time outside their cage in a safe environment to play and get into trouble.

If you have any questions about ferrets or their care, you can always reach out to us for more information. If you are interested in adding a ferret or five to your family, reach out to Madison Ferret Rescue and fill out an application to adopt. All of these photos are of recently adopted ferrets.

Today is World Kidney Day and it is great opportunity to introduce our new wellness bloodwork panels. Our standard of care includes annual bloodwork for all adult and senior dogs and cats (though there are panels available to rabbits and ferrets). Bloodwork can detect changes to organs function long before symptoms appear, so in order to provide the best care possible for your pet, having as much information as possible is important. The senior panels include additional tests for kidney and thyroid levels. Our new panels allow us to save you money while providing the same excellent care.

Our therapy laser can be used in many ways to help our patients. Therapy lasers use light to promote healing. Ruckus receives laser treatments for his arthritis and all of our surgeries are lasered after to help them heal, like this rat who had a mass removed. We also laser after all of our dental procedures. Any type of inflammation, whether chronic or acute, can be lasered to promote healing. Both the patient and the technician operating the laser get to wear these snazzy glasses for protection.

Your dog should be tested every year for heartworms. By the time a dog is symptomatic, the worms have caused lots of damage, so early diagnosis is crucial.
Treatments are stressful and expensive, but prevention is easy and affordable. Use heartworm prevention year round to protect your valentine.

Small mammals need dental care too!
Rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, and other rodents have incisors that grow continuously. If these become misaligned, it can cause serious problems for their health. Help your little guy keep their teeth looking gorgeous by offering lots of appropriate options for chewing.

There are so many ways to support your pets dental health. In our lobby, you can find enzymatic toothpaste, finger brush kits, and brushless gels. If your pet super hates you touching their mouth, you could also try dental chews or treats or powder food toppers.

Here is a link to a great resource about dental health options: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=11934338

Yesterday was National Hedgehog Day. Did you know that the ancient Romans used hedgehogs to predict the change of season? This tradition lasted for centuries until European immigrants to the US in the 1800s adapted their tradition to use the local groundhog.

This cute little hedgehog, Gracie, came to see us today. She is an old lady that was recently surrendered to the hedgehog rescue Boggy’s Buddies.

February is Pet Dental Health Month! We will be posting information and tips about dental care all month.
Today is also World Greyhound Day, so we would like to share the before and after of Sly’s recent dental. Sly has a dental cleaning every year to keep his teeth shiny and clean and to monitor for any teeth that need to be removed. We take full mouth dental radiographs in all of our dental procedures as bone and root loss can hide under the gums.

We have a few openings for appointments tomorrow, February 1st. Hurry, because they will go fast. Call us today to reserve one for you and your companion. 608-294-9494
