Live with The Animal Hospital for the 2024 Fall Roundtable
Team Appreciation Finale!
We had a SMASH with our end of week celebration. Instead of going out...we camped in! Family fewd, the price is right, prizes, Pj's, Bluey, smashing pumpkins and pin the bowtie on the golden!
Not to mention gourmet popcorn from Popt , apps from The Handle-Bar Tavern and Eatery, and some naustalgic candies!

Lyme Disease
We worry about many different types of tick transmitted diseases in western Kansas, but Lyme Disease is not one we see often.
This positive test came from a local pet (who does travel) and shows that they have been exposed to the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) through a tick bite and blood transmission.
Ixodes scapularis aka the Deer Tick or Black-Legged Tick is present in Kansas!
This tick also transmits the bacterias that cause anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis (more commonly seen in our region)
This pet is receiving treatment! Keep your furry friends safe with consistent, quality preventatives (sourced from legimate sources such as your veterinarian) given on time, year round.
Our climate does not provide adequate kill environments for many tick species and winter is not a risk-free environment from parasites!

Charcoal Covered?!
Logan had the distinct pleasure of assisting one of our more energetic patients with charcoal.
We feed charcoal to certain patients in intervals to help bind toxins (usually that the pet or stock ingested). In this case, some moldy plant material led to a suspect Penitrem A ingestion, which causes tremors, weakness and can lead to dangerous or fatal seizure activity.
Combinations of oral activated charcoal, medications, intralipid therapy, muscle relaxants and supportive care is determined by our doctors....and this patient did so well....Logan wore some of the charcoal!

Easter FUN!
A little late on the posting, but we had some Easter Egg Hunt FUN last week. Docs hid prize stuffed eggs and team hunted...it got a little "hairy" (get it) and some eggs are still missing.
No worries, docs are proud and monitoring the yet to be found eggs!
