This is a skin scraping from the paw of a dog. The pretty cell in the center is called an eosinophil. The cell is filled with red granules. They are commonly seen with hypersensitivity disorders. In dogs, parasites and food allergies are the most common reasons for eosinophils to present on cytology samples.

It’s that time of year when pets come in wearing their winter swag. We absolutely love it! We know that East Coast temps can fluctuate so it’s important to keep our furry loved ones warm and toasty. Winter brings many health challenges for our pets as well. The road salt can irritate their paws. Black ice can makes walks treacherous. Their ears and toes can get frostbite from too much exposure to the cold. So bundle them up and stay safe out there.

It’s a new year so time to make sure your indoor cats are up to date on their Annual Physical Exams and Rabies vaccine. Annual exams keep pets healthy and comfortable. The State of Connecticut requires all cats and dogs over the age of 3 months to be vaccinated for Rabies. It’s the law. Call us and we are happy to check to see if your pets are up to date on their Rabies vaccine.

Our hearts go out to all those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles. Many people have lost the homes and many pets have been displaced. The Pasadena Humane Society is looking for donations and fosters. Animals are coming in with burns and the need is great.
