🎃🐾 Happy Howl-o-Ween from all of us at Southwest Veterinary Hospital!

As you prepare for a night of spooky fun, remember to keep your furry friends safe! Here are a few tips:

1. Keep candy out of reach—chocolate is a no-go for pets!
2. Make sure costumes are comfortable and safe for your pets.
3. Create a quiet space at home for pets who may be scared of the doorbell or loud costumes.

Share your pet’s Halloween costume with us in the comments!

Nicole and Danielle helping out Thunder with his laser treatment. Laser treatment is also called photobiomodulation which aids in the alleviation of pain and inflammation. It’s important to wear special goggles that protect the eyes of both our team members and our patients! Thunder was such a good sport.

🌟 Happy National Vet Tech Week! 🌟

Huge shoutout to our incredible veterinary technicians/nurses! Their hard work, compassion, and countless skills keep our hospital running smoothly. From assisting in surgeries to drawing blood, from taking dental x-rays to comforting our furry patients (and more!), they truly do it all. Thank you all for being the backbone of our team—your dedication makes a world of difference! 🐾❤️

Amanda, our dedicated VTS (Veterinary Technician Specialist in Dentistry), recently traveled to Palm Springs, CA for her continuing education! She attended the annual Veterinary Dental Forum in September, where she gained great insights to enhance our dental procedures. We're thrilled to have her at SWVH with so much knowledge to share! 🦷✨

Today is World Rabies Day, so let’s prioritize the health and safety of our furry friends! Rabies is a fatal viral disease that can be transmitted to humans, making it crucial to ensure that your dogs and cats are vaccinated. In Washoe County, there have been 109 animals that have tested positive for rabies since 2000. Vaccinating is the easiest way to protect our pets and humans! 🌎💉❤️

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition that affects dogs, and its prevalence is on the rise, especially in regions like Nevada. This parasitic infection, transmitted by mosquitoes, can lead to severe health issues, including heart failure and lung damage. It’s important to have your dog on a preventative and to do annual blood tests.

Here are a few reasons why it’s essential to administer heartworm preventative to your dog every month, all year long:

1. **Rising Risk**: As temperatures warm, more mosquitoes become active, increasing the chances of your dog being bitten. Even in the colder months, the risk is present, making monthly prevention crucial. Some preventatives, such as Heartgard plus will also protect against other parasites like hookworms and roundworms as well.

2. **Silent Threat**: Heartworm disease can remain asymptomatic for months, meaning your dog could be infected without showing any signs until it's too late. Regular prevention eliminates this risk.

3. **Protecting Your Community**: By keeping your dog protected, you help prevent the spread of heartworm disease, contributing to the overall health of the canine population in your area.

4. **Ease of Administration**: Today’s heartworm preventatives are easy to administer, come in various forms (chewable, topical), and are safe for dogs of all ages.

Don’t wait for the risk to become a reality—make heartworm prevention a priority for your dog no matter the season!

Happy International Cat Day! These are Dr. Schroeder’s newest additions to her household named “Burnt” and “Golden” and the first picture is of our LVT/nurse, Nicole, snuggling with them 😌

Our hospital has some fun and participates in our own form of “Olympic Games”. Dr. Schroeder coordinates various challenges for our team to compete. One competition was who can make the best vetrap art (vetrap is colorful bandage material). First place went to the pikachu created by Jasmine! This was round 1, so stand by for more fun this Olympic season at SWVH😃

Blood collection, more accurately called venipuncture.

We announced our winner of the NutraMax raffle today! 🎉 Congrats to our winner Karyn for winning the fun basket filled with dog toys, treats and NutraMax supplements. Thanks everyone for participating and thank you NutraMax for the basket!

Day 2 of curbside service and you guys are the BEST EVER!!! Thank you for all your support rolling with our new protocol and helping to keep yourself and the team healthy! ❤️

We found this fractured pre-molar on a routine exam. As you can see in the video, this slab fracture had a piece of the crown separated from the rest of the tooth. The sensitive pulp cavity is exposed which causes a lot of discomfort and allows bacteria to get into the tooth and causes a tooth root abscess. This tooth was extracted and the patient will be feeling much better soon! You can help to prevent fractures such as this by not allowing your pet to chew on anything too hard – antlers and bones are notorious culprits. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to put a fingernail indent into anything you give your pet to chew on.
