Kenna spent a few days with us after coming in with bloody stool and inappetence. The doctor suspected dietary indiscretion (something she ate didn’t sit right with her belly) or gastroenteritis (inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract). IV fluids, GI antibiotics and stomach protectants helped her feel a lot better. 🫶

Whether it's tossing a ball, engaging with their favorite toys, or just enjoying each other's company, play helps keep them active and mentally stimulated. These moments not only strengthen your bond but also contribute to their overall well-being.

Mondays are for Marty! 🌞

Marty came to us last week to check out a wound on his face. He then stayed with us for about a week while we treated his wound and medicated him. In return to us taking care of him, he gave us lots of cuddles and purrs. 🫶

Instead, choose safe and delicious pet-friendly treats that will keep their tails wagging and their bellies happy! Their health depends on the choices we make! If you're unsure on what to give your pet, call us at 863-763-2523.

It’s a rod party! 🫣🔬

The presence of rods (rod-shaped bacteria) typically indicates a bacterial infection.

Anytime a pet presents for head shaking, scratching at the ears, erythema of the ear, foul odor or discharge from the ear canal, we will perform an ear cytology. This quick & simple diagnostic procedure allows us identify otic infections and is invaluable in starting the proper treatment for those infections.

Healthy mouth = healthy pet! 🦷🪥

It may not be dental month anymore but your pet’s dental health is important year round!

At home tooth brushing can go a long way in helping to remove plaque before it mineralizes into tartar. Sometimes that’s not always feasible, so a professional teeth cleaning may be warranted.

If you notice any of the following, call us to schedule a consultation for a dental cleaning:
- bad breath
- broken teeth
- abnormal / difficulty chewing
- reduced appetite / inappetence
- blood coming from mouth
- swelling of face
- excessive drooling

Swipe for a before and after pic of a recent dental cleaning we did on a pet earlier this week. 🐩

There must be something in the water…

Or maybe there’s something in the air cause the number of blocked cats we’ve seen lately seems higher than usual. 🤔

Meet Chance! He came to us when his owner noticed he wasn’t urinating in his litter box. Upon palpation, it was noted his bladder was very firm. He had a mucous plug at the tip of his p***s that was causing him to be blocked up, but thankfully we were able to get him unblocked. We monitored him for a few days just to make sure he continued urinating appropriately.

This is the face of regret. 🫣

Pet parents, please tell your dogs not to eat blankets otherwise they’ll end up at the vet clinic being forced to vomit it all back up.

Never let the sun set on a pyo. ‼️ What this means is that a pyometra is a surgical emergency, as definitely was the case this evening. She recovered well from anesthesia and we’re hopeful she can go home in the next day or two. 🤞 #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #vetmedicine #pethealth #vetlife #veterinary #veterinarysurgery #pyometra #fyp

A Friday isn’t complete without a c-section! Momma and puppies did well post-op. 🐶💕 #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #vettechlife #vetmedicine #dogsofinstagram #dogsurgery #behindthescenes #dayinthelife #fyp

Dogs can get dehydrated just like you can! So it’s important to ensure that your dog is drinking enough water throughout the day. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues so make sure your pupper always has access to fresh water, especially after playtime or walks. In hot weather, consider offering water to them more frequently. Contact us at 863-763-2523 for more helpful tips on properly caring for your dog!

What is oral melanoma? 🩺🐾 Oral melanoma is the most common oral tumor in dogs. Locally aggressive, it can invade normal tissue and bone.
