This is sweet Elsa. She came in a couple weeks ago for a dental cleaning. She was such a good girl and so so cute!

Her large and beautiful eyes are so captivating! She really is a little Queen! She didn’t need any extractions and had a pretty routine dental cleaning when she was here and has since recovered perfectly!

Great Job Queen Elsa ❄️🐈👑 Thanks for being perfectly you!

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious disease we see in our senior dogs. Slowing down on walks, trouble with stairs, or hesitating to jump up aren’t just signs of dogs aging; they’re possible signs of OA, a serious disease with pain that hurts all the time if it’s not treated.

OA is a type of arthritis that happens when protective tissue in a dog's joints is worn down, which can even cause bones to rub against one another
Dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds can have OA pain—it's not just a condition seen in older dogs but predominately.

Approximately 75% of pet owners attribute changes in their dog’s behavior to aging when, in reality, they could be suffering from OA pain. Nearly 40% of all dogs show signs of OA pain, yet almost 50% remain undiagnosed. OA pain control for dogs shouldn’t wait—long-lasting OA pain control is possible with once-monthly Librela.

Here is a quiz to help determine if your dog would benefit from Librela:

Just a reminder, this month (November), when you purchase 2 injections of Librela (or Solensia), you will receive 50% off the second injection.

This little Lady is BB, a 6 year old Boston Terrier. Isn’t she so cute 🥰 ???
She is our official TMVH Pet of the Week this week!

She came in to see us this week because her right ear had filled up with fluid from shaking her head so much due to an ear infection in her both ears. This is called an aural hematoma. She actually did get into a little scuffle with another dog she lives with as well which seems to have set things off. Dr. Keuster was able to drain the fluid and clean her ear and put some medication in it. We also sent home some anti-fungal and steroids to help with her allergies.

She should be feeling much better really soon. She was such a good girl for all of her treatments while she was here.

Congrats adorable BB!! 🎉🥳👏Hoping you’re back to your sweet little self really soon ♥️🐾♥️

Our senior pets often deal with sore joints and osteo arthritis (OA) as they age, just like us.

Solensia is an injection for cats that helps to reduce OA pain by working on your cat's naturally made antibodies to reduce pain signals.

We have had a lot of our older kitty patients do really amazingly on monthly injections of Solensia and it helps keep them comfortable and mobile and enjoying life.
If you think your cat would benefit from trying Solensia, make sure to give us a call today to book an appointment with Dr. Keuster to discuss their joint health and options to look into.
Here is a quiz that you can take to help see if Solensia would be a good fit for your cat:

Don't forget, this month(November), when you purchase 2 injection of Solensia (or Librela), you will receive the second one at 50% off.

We wanted to welcome Katherine to our team officially! She has been here actually since last October but started off as an UNR student shadowing our practice for work experience. She started on staff with us about 3 months ago. Katherine is studying Biology at UNR and has been working in the vet field for about 1 year. Her favorite part about working in vet med is seeing how much love people have for their pets. She grew up with a lot of animals: birds, fish, a frog, chickens and hamsters. Currently, Katherine has two dogs: Baby (Dandie Terrier) and Teddy (German Spitz) and one cat, Yuumi. Her long term goals are to become a small animal veterinarian and maybe specialize in dental. Katherine is from Las Vegas originally and loves snowboarding in the winter and building miniatures and doing arts and crafts.

We love having Katherine on staff at TMVH! She is an awesome veterinary assistant and has already learned so much during her time with us and always comes into work ready to work and with a smile on her face. Welcome to the team Katherine!!
