Happy Caturday๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ
Did you know the term polydactyl means extra toes? It is a genetic abnormality in which cats can have 6 or more toes on each paw.
Polydactyl cats are also known as Hemingway cats. The story behind the name is that they were very popular cats on ships. They helped keep the ship clear of rats. One ship captain gifted Ernest Hemingway a white polydactyl cat named Snow White in the 1930s. He loved his cats and kept a colony of them, many of them being polydactyl. Today the Hemingway House in Key West has at least 60 cats roaming the property in which some are descendants of Snow White.

It's National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿพ
Did you know that it's a common misconception that indoor cats don't need to go to the vet. While most contagious feline illnesses are contracted by coming in contact with other outdoor animals, they can also develop other issues that aren't related to going outside.
Some issues that pose risks for them are weight, hormone problems, genetic conditions, and tumors. Cats are very good at masking their pain and so detection of their problems
Yearly exams are highly recommended so your vet can make sure your beloved feline can live their best lives.

Fear free techniques. This is one of the techniques we use to distract your pets during their visits/procedures with us. Milt here loves licking cheese off the mat while we do his nails.

Did you know in 1963, a cat named Felicette was the first cat in space. She went on a brief journey (about 15 minutes) on a rocket by the French version of NASA, the Centre National d'etudes Spatiales and then was safely parachuted back to Earth. What a brave kitty! ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿพ

It's National Yorkie Day!
"Did you know in World War II, a Yorkie named Smoky is credited with saving the lives of soldiers by dragging a communications cable through an 8-inch-wide, 60-foot-long drainage culvert. She is also thought to be the worldโ€™s first therapy dog, visiting wounded soldiers in hospitals. Smoky was found by an American soldier in 1944 in a Papua New Guinea jungle, and when he brought the little dog back to the barracks, U.S. Army Corporal William Wynne took her under his wing. He later wrote a book about Smoky called Yorkie Doodle Dandy. There are six U.S.-based memorials honoring Smoky, including one in AKCโ€™s Museum of the Dog, and one international memorial in Australia." ( credit to Akc.org)

Diabetes is a common treatable condition in pets. Part of the treatment includes insulin.
There are 2 types of syringes used for insulin injections; U-40 and U-100. The U stands for units. It is very crucial that the corresponding syringe is used with the correct insulin for proper dosing. U-100 syringes have 2.5x more units of insulin than the U-40.
If you have any questions about your pets diabetes or administrating insulin, please give us a call. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ

Happy Caturday!
The most common external parasite is the flea. They live, eat, and mate on our pets. The female flea lays her eggs which then fall off of them and into our environment.
Did you know that the female flea can lay about 40-50 eggs a day!
That is why it is so important to not only treat your pets, but also your household, especially areas where they lay.
We carry Revolution Plus which is a great product for your cats to help treat/prevent heartworms, fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms and hookworms.

Keeping your pets nails trimmed helps with their overall health. It helps their mobility, preventing cracked/ broken nails and overgrowth.
Getting your pets used to nail trims at an early age benefits them in the long run. When getting a new puppy, touching their feet and maybe doing one toe nail trim at a time till they are used to it will help them adjust. If they are super wiggly, using a distraction such as food can be super helpful.
If your pet gets too stressed out with their nail trims, there are options for them that can help ease them and lessen their anxiety when it comes to having them done. Give us a call to discuss and/or make an appointment to see what will be best for them.

Rabies is a deadly disease that attacks the nervous system.
It is transmitted through a bite from an infected animal such as bats, coyotes, opossums, raccoons and foxes. Though less common, it can also be transmitted when saliva from a rabid animal comes in contact with an open cut on the skin or the eyes, nose, or mouth of a person or animal.
Rabies is first given to your dog/cat when they are around 16 weeks of age. After their first vaccine it is given every 3 years. If you need to update your pet on their Rabies vaccine give us a call to make an appointment. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ

Caring for your pet as if it is our own!

At North River Animal Hospital, our mission is to continually strive to meet and exceed the expectations set by our clients who are seeking expert veterinary care for their pets. As we grow in the Parrish area, our experience caring for companion small animals is backed by over six decades of collective experience gained by our very compassionate and caring doctors. Beginning in 2002 when we started Braden River Animal Hospital in Bradenton, our sister practice North River Animal Hospital, continues to provide excellence in preventative care, medicine and surgery on a daily basis in order to improve or extend the quality of your petโ€™s life. What sets us apart? Relationships. Now serving the pet community for over 16 years, our formula for success has been founded on the special and very meaningful relationships we have developed with pet owners. We tremendously value the trust that is bestowed upon us every day to ensure that each of our patients receives optimal care. With two, state-of-the-art facilities in Bradenton and now in Parrish, our commitment is to provide that latest in technology when addressing diagnostics with our full service in-house and outside reference laboratories, digital radiology, dental X-ray, and ultrasound services. And in following the services and care we have provided at our first location for so many years, at North River Animal Hospital, we also prepared to serve our Parrish pet owners with an equally, well planned out facility. This includes spacious and comfortable exam rooms, an advanced surgical suite, a separate specialized dental suite, a large treatment area and more so that we can provide premium pet healthcare whether patients are in need of a preventative wellness exam, vaccines, a diagnostic work-up for a sick pet or emergency services that require immediate acute care and/or surgery. Most importantly, our mission to serve the pet community in the most ideal way possible is by investing in people. In order to strengthen the doctor-client-patient bonds we have formulated in the community, our Associate Veterinarians and support staff receive collaborative and mutual respect as well as on-going continuing education to enhance and fortify the skill sets of our valued practice professionals. By supporting the three components so valued in the relationship process at our practices, we look forward to enhancing, even more so, the bonds that tie all of us together through the love that each of us has for the health and well-being of your pets.
