Thank You, Rooster Haus, for Trusting Us with Wanda’s Care!

We are honored to have had the opportunity to care for Wanda, one of Rooster Haus’s beloved comet goldfish, who has been a part of their family for over seven years. Wanda’s story of resilience is truly inspiring, and their journey from a neglected stock tank to living a healthy and happy life at Rooster Haus is a testament to the love and dedication of their caregivers.

Fish, like Wanda, are often overlooked when it comes to veterinary care, but they are pets who deserve the same attention and compassion as any other animal. Whether it's a buoyancy issue, changes in behavior, or concerns about water quality, seeking professional veterinary care can make all the difference in their well-being.

At Pine Tree Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer specialized care for aquatic animals, and we’re grateful for sanctuaries like Rooster Haus who advocate for the health and happiness of every creature in their care.

If you have a fish friend at home, remember that their health matters, too! Don’t hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian if you notice anything unusual. Together, we can ensure that all pets—big or small, furry or finned—live their best lives.

🐾 Protect Your Cats from Avian Influenza (H5N1) 🐾

Did you know that cats can be vulnerable to Avian Influenza (H5N1)? While this virus is primarily associated with birds, it has been known to affect cats in certain situations, posing serious health risks.

Prevention is key! Here are some steps to keep your feline friends safe:
✔️ Thoroughly cook meat before feeding (especially poultry).
✔️ Keep cats indoors to limit exposure to wild birds and wildlife.
✔️ Avoid contact with sick or deceased birds.
✔️ Practice excellent hygiene—wash your hands and change clothes/shoes after interacting with poultry or wildlife.
✔️ Keep cats away from areas with known H5N1 outbreaks, especially poultry or livestock environments.

If you notice any unusual symptoms in your cat or suspect potential exposure, contact your veterinarian immediately for guidance.

Keeping your pet safe and healthy is always our top priority! 🐾💙

We deeply regret to inform you about a recall related to Northwest Naturals raw cat food. This action follows a heartbreaking incident where cat unfortunately passed away. Testing confirmed that the food contained Avian Influenza, prompting immediate measures to ensure the safety of all pets. Our thoughts are with those affected, and we encourage vigilance in checking and discontinuing the use of the recalled product.

Our Recommendation for Raw Food Feeders:
If you choose to feed raw diets, especially those containing poultry, we strongly recommend cooking the food to an internal temperature of at least 165°F. 🔥🍗

Why?
Freezing does NOT kill bacteria or viruses like HPAI, which can survive at freezing temperatures. Proper cooking ensures these harmful pathogens are destroyed, keeping your pets and family safe.

Alternatively, it would also be strongly recommended to transition to a traditional of kibble and wet food as the safest measure at this time.

Your pet’s health and safety are our priority! ❤️ If you have questions or need alternative feeding recommendations, don’t hesitate to reach out.

🐾 Stay safe, everyone! 🐾
