We have had a few cases of mycotoxin poisoning recently. Its not a poisoning that folks are generally familiar with, so we thought we'd share the information to raise awareness.-

Ingestion of mouldy food from the bin or a compost pile puts dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even wildlife at risk for toxicity due to tremorgenic mycotoxins. These toxins may be found in MOULDY bread, pasta, cheese, nuts, or other decaying matter like compost. Clinical signs include vomiting, agitation, incoordination, tremors, seizures, and elevated body temperature. A specific mycotoxin called aflatoxin can even cause liver failure. Be sure to keep mouldy food and compost out of your pets reach!

LSAR is very excited to be a part of Polson’s Flathead Cherry Festival again this year! Our booth will be on 4th Avenue next to the Glacier Bank Drive Thru. Our goal is to raise funds and get our name out there for people who are looking to adopt. We hope you will stop by and say “hi” and maybe pick up one of our awesome LSAR t-shirts or hoodies. You can also buy tickets for one of our amazing raffle baskets (drawing will be on Sunday). We will not have animals at the booth as it just gets too hot! We hope to see you there!

Hello friends! This may be a long shot. Meet Sonic. She is a 1 1/2 yr old husky mix who has been spayed and is wearing 2 collars. One was black with skulls and tags, and the second is a gps collar. Sonic was last seen 5/29 and her owners want to make a last ditch effort to bring her home. She is loved and missed dearly by her boy. She was last seen on Twin Creeks Way in Ronan. Please if you know or see anything reach out to Cristen 503-307-4645 or MVAS 406-883-5312.

This is a thermal image of a dog with a portion of its body shaved and the other portion not shaved. The non-shaved portion is at 24°C and the shaved portion at 30°C. The hair is present for several reasons, mainly for thermal regulation ☀🌡

Stop shaving dogs you're not helping them.

As of July 1st Montana Spay/Neuter task force was forced to cut funding to the feral cat project. They were the driving force financially along with all the generous donations from the public. They are still giving out certificates to public individuals if they call to request them. We are still doing feral trap/neuter/return for the public, however the individuals bringing them in are now responsible for the cost. They are being handled on a case by case basis and you can call the clinic to discuss details. You can still make donations to the clinic if you want to continue to help support the feral program but we are no longer affiliated with White Wings and will not elaborate further on that subject.

From a local Vet....
This tick has been hanging around for us to show people for a while. After months in a sealed container with no additional feeding she laid eggs. This gives you an idea of how long a tick can be dormant and how many eggs one female can lay. Remember ticks bloom again in the fall so keep up with prevention.

I came across this today…. All the years I’ve been a tech and all the years of being an animal mom and I haven’t seen this, I have not read anything comparable that describes it so perfectly 🧡💚

"There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings and walked its rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with full knowledge that they
will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter
how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given."

~ Suzanne Clothier, from her book "Bones Would Rain from the Sky: Deepening Our Relationships with Dogs"

Here are some links to articles about the most common viruses in cats. This is for education purposes and another HUGE reason it is so important to spay and neuter your cats. Spayed and neutered = less fighting = less spread of deadly viruses = less suffering for cats.

I realize a lot of you think the feral population doesn’t “affect you”, however if you have a cat (s) and you allow them to go outside, most likely they will come in contact with other cats and possibly even with an entire colony of feral cats and now the possibility of them getting infected with one of these diseases has increased exponentially. This is just a fact.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get your cats altered!!! If it’s a funding issue, please call, there is help out there!!!! ❤️

ALTERING YOUR DOGS IS JUST AS IMPORTANT!! Dog post incoming ❤️
