❓ Mite we ask you a question❓
What are we looking at under the microscope?
Answer: Ear mites and their eggs! These pesky little things are common in kittens and puppies but can be seen in any age pet. We do see more cases in cats than dogs. These ectoparasites take about 3 weeks to develop from egg to adult and then can live up to 2 months!
This sweet girl is looking for her furever home 🏠
She is spayed and up-to-date on her vaccines. She came to us as a stray and deserves a sweet family that will give her lots of pets. She is doing ok with our clinic cats as well as dogs. If you are or know anyone interested, please give us a call or come by the clinic!
We want every patient's visit to be as stress free as possible whether that be cheese, peanut butter, vienna sausages, churus, tuna or snuggles 🐶
