Love the diversity of Veterinary Medicine!! This week we had a 190 lb dog neuter on the same day as a 9 lb cat neuter!! Sometimes it's wild how much our patients differ!!

Shout out to appropriately named Hercules, 190 lb gentle giant- it took a great team effort for him!

How about a steaming hot f***l sample in a chipotle container?
..just not before lunch!

This Friday's F***l Files is a Fresh sample full of Giardia! This is a common cause for diarrhea. It thrives in moist environments and is passed in the f***s of infected dogs.

A difficult protozoa to get rid off, Metronidazole and Panacur are the treatments of choice. This protozoa is TINY and difficult to see even with the microscope, so you won't see this one.

What do you think we found in this Friday's F***l Files? In this tasty guacamole container, our patient was positive for tapeworms!

Tapeworms shed segments so they often can be seen in the f***s or around you pet's rear end. They are described as 'rice segments' or 'sesame seeds'.

Tapeworms typically are from ingesting an infected flea and are not contagious pet to pet. They can also be picked up through ingesting rodents or rabbits.

If you see these, call us and we can fill dewormer for your pet!

We have been seeing more and more ticks recently! It isn't something we all think about here in Western WA but we do see ticks. Have you given your dogs Bravecto yet? It provides 3 months of flea and tick prevention. Give it now and they are protected until the end of the year!

Do your pet's suffer from asthma? Even if they don't the smokey air can trigger respiratory problems.

Keep them inside, limiting outside time as much as possible. Keep windows closed and run an air purifier.

Keep them as safe as possible especially if they are a high risk breed or have underlying respiratory problems

Just like humans are right- or left-handed, dogs are right- or left-pawed. The right side of the brain controls more negative emotions, such as fear, aggression, and taking flight in response to a perceived threat, whereas the left side of the brain is associated with more positive emotions that include feelings of love, safety, attachment, and comfort. This may relate to paw preference in that for people with right hand preference, the left side of their brain controls their dominant hand, which also may influence an increased likelihood for being in a positive emotional state. Or, oppositely, with the right brain dominant in the leftie, this also increases the likelihood of right brain emotions taking precedence; meaning, a more negative state of mind is likely.

Such findings may correlate with other research showing “leftie” animals were likely to demonstrate higher fear and increased likelihood to withdraw in the face of the novel and new.
