This cutie patootie stopped by for some regular vaccine boosters, and she was just SO excited to be here that she couldn’t sit still for a picture!!! She did amazing, and was so brave and such a good girl for her pokes! 💉💕🐾

It’s important to remember to keep your pet’s vaccines up to date, so that they can enjoy their happy and bustling lives without worry of serious contagious illnesses!

Puppy vaccines are crucial for building your pup's immune system and protecting them from deadly diseases like parvovirus, distemper, and rabies. Consult your veterinarian for a personalized vaccination schedule!

This little gal from happylifeanimalrescue came from a troubled past, but we are so happy that she found a great rescue and came in to see us! She was not feeling well at all, and came in to get treatments and medications from us. We will be doing everything in our power to help her, and we are very hopeful for a smooth recovery! We’re excited to see her go to a loving home once she’s feeling better!

All of the rescues we work with put so much love and effort into taking care of these animals. We admire them so much and all of the work they do! Please consider adopting from a rescue, and give a dog in need a loving home! Our website has a long list of some of the rescues we partner with, although we’re happy to say that list keeps growing everyday ❤️

This little angel bunny needed lots of snuggles and love as she was waking up from anesthesia, after getting a spay surgery from Dr. Orban 🐰🖤🩶

Did you know that bunnies, guinea pigs, and other rodents, need to be especially closely monitored while they are waking up from anesthesia? It takes them longer to wake up than it does for cats or dogs!

Rabbits need to be held when waking up from anesthesia for several crucial reasons:

Rabbits are highly susceptible to hypothermia (low body temperature). Anesthesia can significantly lower their body temperature. Holding them provides warmth and helps them maintain a stable temperature.

Rabbits can be disoriented and unsteady when waking up from anesthesia. Holding them prevents them from falling, bumping into objects, or injuring themselves. Holding also allows for close observation of the rabbit's breathing, heart rate, and overall condition as they emerge from anesthesia.

This is also a reminder that Dr. Orban loves treating all critters, whether it be cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, or guniea pigs! He also specializes in snakes and other reptiles! Book an exotic pet visit with us on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with Dr. Orban.

The gang’s all here!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

These little guys from Happy Life Animal Rescue came in for spays and neuters, and they are now ready for adoption!!

Did you know? 🐶 Spaying or neutering your furry friend isn't just about preventing puppies – it offers a whole host of amazing benefits!

Healthier lives: Reduced risk of certain cancers and other serious health problems.

Happier behaviors: Less roaming, marking territory, and aggression.

Reduced pet overpopulation: Helps prevent unwanted litters and the heartbreaking euthanasia of shelter animals.

Spaying significantly reduces the risk of pyometra, a potentially life-threatening uterine infection, along with life-threatening ovarian and uterine cancers.

Spaying also reduces the risk of breast cancer, especially if your girl is spayed before her first heat cycle.

Neutering in males eliminates the risk of testicular cancer. It also reduces the risk of certain prostate problems.

Prevention of Other Health Issues:

- Prevents pregnancy complications and the associated risks.
- Reduces the risk of certain hernias in males.

Talk to your vet about the best time to spay or neuter your dog. It's a decision that can make a big difference in your pup's life and the lives of others.

This is a reminder that we still offer Cat Boarding here at Poughkeepsie Animal Wellness! 🐱🐈‍⬛🐾
We no longer offer Dog Boarding, for the time being.

All cat boarders get to stay in our large “cat-condos”, and all long-term cat borders will have free-roam time as well, outside of their condos, in our large cat play room with a window view.

Cat boarding is 42$ a night, but if you bring two cats, then the second cat is 50% off, as long as they can board together. Any additional cats you bring are also 50% off!

Max and Ruby, these two little black kitties, have been coming to board with us for years now. We love them very much! Such sweet kitties! Took them awhile to warm up, as is normal cat behavior, but now they love receiving food and pets! 💖

Call or text us now to book a reservation for cat boarding! (845) 473-0358

This little guy, Jerry, paid a visit to Dr Orban today due to an ongoing eye issue. Dr Orban’s veterinary expertise spans numerous animal species and he has a great amount of love for each and every one!

One of our favorite facts about bearded dragons is that their signature beard behaves almost like a mood ring, going black when the animal feels threatened, stressed, or aroused. During these various emotional states, its beard can also expand and the dragon can puff up its entire body to look big. In a calm and happy state, the pouch under a beardie's chin will be similarly colored to the rest of its body with spines that rest flat against its skin.

As you can see here, Jerry was just as happy to be visiting us today as we were to have him with us! 🐾🦎

Happy Thanksgiving!

Some Thanksgiving Pet Safety tips before you celebrate with your family and fur babies. Keep pets away from raw, uncooked or cooked turkey that has been sitting out as well as turkey bones. Don’t share human food with your pets even if they give you ‘the eyes’. Make sure your garbage can is secure at all times. No pie or other desserts for your fur babies. Never leave your pet alone with potentially dangerous decor. Lastly, create a safe zone for pets dealing with house guests.
Also important to remember the toxic and dangerous foods such as turkey, stuffing, raisins/grapes, onion, garlic, corn cobs, mushrooms, chocolate, butter, alcohol and any fatty foods.

But what’s even more important is for all our amazing followers to share a picture of the pet you are thankful for in the comments!

Have an amazing and safe holiday weekend! 🐾

Eyeworms 🪱
Eyeworms 🪱

*This patient was under sedation and the eye was anesthetized before beginning procedure* Rare case of eyeworms here at P.A.W seen by Dr Orban!This was our second time seeing this within a year time span and we’d like to spread some knowledge and awareness about Eyeworms, also known as Thelazia californiensis. This is caused by a parasitic worm that infests the eye of dogs, cats, sheep, deer and other mammals which causes a disease known as Thelaziasis. This condition is caused by being infected by a fly. Filth flies (including the common house fly) and possibly fruit flies serve as intermediate hosts and deposit the infective eyeworm larvae on the eye while feeding on the secretions from the eyes. Some symptoms that may be associated with this is tearing, inflammation of the eye, ulcers, sores and itchiness of the eyes. In the case of this patient, Dr Orban treated with Ivermectin injections and eye drops with a steroid after removing some of the worms while the patient was sedated and anesthesia was placed in the eye. He has been doing great ever since! 🐾
