FLEAS & TAPEWORMS!!
Did you know Tapeworms are caused by flea infestations or exposure to fleas! Not only can your furry friends develop these little creepy crawly creatures, but so can you!
When a human accidentally ingests an infected flea or other infected material, the tapeworm larvae can then develop into adult tapeworms inside the human's intestines 😰
We have seen so many cases of active infestations from pets without prevention, and those that utilize over the counter topicals or collars.
If you see tapeworms or fleas, please reach out to your veterinarian!
It was cuterebra eviction day!

‼️HEARTWORM DISEASE‼️
We have had an unprecedented number of Heartworm positive cases this year. PLEASE, keeping your pets on prevention year round is the best way to prevent this completely preventable disease.
Heartworm is transmitted through mosquitoes, and is a serious disease that results in severe lung disease, heart failure, other organ damage, and sometimes, even death.
It does not matter if you spray your yard, have a fence, sprinkle oils in your yard, dance the anti-mosquito cha-cha, etc. If you live in the Midwest, mosquitoes are everywhere, and it only takes one!
Please, use prevention, and keep your pets protected 🙏
Dr. Joe had an intriguing referral involving a unique mass on a patient's skull. Thanks to our state-of-the-art CT scan, we were able to provide the owner with a clear diagnosis and a solid treatment plan moving forward. We're proud to be one of the few facilities in the state with this advanced imaging capability, making a real difference for our local pet community!

Fluoroscopy Swallow Study
Meet Oakley!
Oakley was referred to Dr. Joe for a Videofluoroscopic Swallow Study to determine the extent of her megaesophagus and check for any abnormal motility or structural changes
Fluoroscopy is a type of advanced imaging that allows us to view the inside of the body while it is in motion. The image is similar to that of a radiograph, or x-ray, but instead of viewing a single still image, many images are produced by fluoroscopy to capture motion in real time. Essentially, this produces an x-ray movie that we can watch and replay in real time to get the diagnosis our patients need!
