We had a great time at The Pumpkin Patch! Corn maze, pumpkins, candied apples, apple cider donuts! Of course, we had to take home some cool pumpkins and some tasty treats home. Some of the fresh vegetables picked from the farm were huge!

MISSING

This is HB, He got out of a clients carrier outside at our clinic (Burlingame Veterinary Clinic). He is in the neighborhood behind our practice at 8511 SW Terwillger Blvd somewhere. He is not neutered, and does not have a microchip. He is a short-haired grey tabby. He does have a wound on the side of his face as well.

If you see him, please don’t approach him. He is very scared and has never been outside before. He is not up to date on his rabies vaccine either.

If you see him please notify us at 503-977-2637, and we can let the owners know.

We wanted to let everyone know that Dr. Larson has decided to explore his options at another bigger practice. He was with us for almost 3 years. I know our clients will miss him taking care of their pets, and the staff will miss working with him. We want to wish him the best of luck in his endeavors.

Please read the important notice below from our state Veterinarian Dr. Emilio Debess regarding dogs getting salmon poisoning:

After several dogs were sickened from salmon poisoning around Newport, Oregon authorities warned people to keep pets away from dead fish on Thursday.

According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, salmon and trout carcasses may harbor the bacteria Neorickettsia helminthoeca in their blood which can kill dogs without treatment. The bacteria is transmitted through a parasitic flatworm or “fluke” and can infect a dog after it eats, bites or even licks an infected fish carcass.

The highest risk of salmon poisoning is usually in September when salmon gather in rivers to spawn and die, so cases early in the year are unusual, according to ODFW.

Pet owners are advised to keep their dogs on a leash and in sight to keep them away from fish carcasses. People are asked to collect and bag up all garbage associated with cleaning fish and to clean coolers and gear.

According to ODFW, the highest risk of salmon poisoning is usually in September when salmon gather in rivers to spawn and die, so cases early in the year are unusual.

Symptoms may begin five to seven days after exposure, which can include severe vomiting and diarrhea.

What are the clinical signs of salmon poisoning?

Signs of salmon poisoning are typically seen within a week of the dog eating infected raw or undercooked fish or salamanders. Common signs include lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea (which may include blood), fever, weakness, enlarged lymph nodes, weight loss, discharge from the eyes or nose, increased respiratory rate, increased heart rate, muscle tremors, and seizures. If the infection is not treated, most dogs will die within two weeks. Fortunately, treatment significantly improves the chances of survival.

Treatment of choice is doxycycline(10 mg/kg, twice daily for 7 days

Animals usually succumb because of dehydration, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, and anemia. Therefore, general supportive therapy to maintain hydration and acid-base balance, while meeting nutritional requirements and controlling diarrhea, is often essential. Judicious use of whole blood transfusions may be helpful.

Currently, the only means of prevention is to restrict the ingestion of uncooked salmon, trout, steelhead, and similar freshwater fish.
