❤️🐾 February is Heart Healthy Month: Let’s Talk Pet Hearts! 🐾❤️
This February, we’re shining a light on the importance of heart health for your furry friends! 🩺🐶 Did you know that just like humans, pets can experience cardiac disease that requires careful monitoring and management?
The image you see here is a dog’s echocardiogram, a key diagnostic tool that helps us take a closer look at the heart in action. 🫀 Using sound waves, an echocardiogram gives us real-time images of the heart’s structure and function—helping detect issues like:
🔍 Heart murmurs
🔍 Valve problems
🔍 Enlarged hearts
🔍 Fluid buildup
Why are echocardiograms important?
📌 Early Diagnosis: Catching heart disease early helps us start treatment before symptoms worsen.
📌 Personalized Care Plans: Echocardiograms allow us to tailor treatment to your pet’s specific needs.
📌 Monitoring Progress: Whether through medication or lifestyle adjustments, we can monitor how well your pet is responding to treatment.
If your dog has been diagnosed with a heart murmur or is showing signs like coughing, fatigue, or difficulty breathing, an echocardiogram may be the next step in their care. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help keep their hearts healthy. 💛🐶

🐰 Did You Know? 🐾
Rabbits can’t vomit! That’s why it’s super important to keep a close eye on their diet and overall health. A balanced diet and proper care are key to preventing issues like GI stasis, which can be life-threatening if not treated quickly.
Check out this little one visiting us for a check-up at the hospital! 🏥💚
If you notice signs like a lack of appetite, fewer droppings, or unusual behavior in your bunny, don’t wait—reach out to us. We’re here to help keep your furry friends happy and healthy!

🚨 **Public Service Announcement** 🚨
**Marijuana is TOXIC to pets and can be fatal!**
While marijuana use has become more common, it’s important to remember that even small amounts can pose serious risks to our furry friends. 🐶🐱
This puppy was in contact with marijuana and was in a state of coma. Fortunately, the puppy did well but sometimes this is not the case.
⚠️ **Signs of marijuana toxicity in pets:**
- Lethargy or uncoordinated movements
- Vomiting
- Tremors or seizures
- Increased heart rate
- Difficulty breathing
If you suspect your pet has ingested marijuana, **seek veterinary care IMMEDIATELY.** Time is critical!
Keep all marijuana products—including edibles, oils, and plants—securely out of reach of your pets. Protecting their health is our top priority. ❤️🐾
📞 **If you need emergency help, call us or the nearest veterinary clinic right away.**

🌟 Eye Health Alert for Dogs! 👀🐾
Have you noticed your dog pawing at their eyes, excessive tearing, redness, or irritation? It could be more than just allergies or dust—eyeworms might be to blame!
What are eyeworms?
Eyeworms are parasites that can infect your dog's eyes, causing discomfort and even vision problems if untreated. These tiny pests are often transmitted by flies and can be found in outdoor or rural environments.
Symptoms to Watch For:
Excessive tearing
Eye redness or swelling
Rubbing or pawing at the eyes
Discharge
What You Can Do:
✔️ Protect: Keep your dog away from areas with high fly activity. Be sure to keep your dog on their monthly heartworm and parasite dewormer!
✔️ Check: Regularly examine your dog’s eyes for any signs of irritation.
✔️ Visit: If you notice symptoms, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian for a thorough check-up and treatment.
Let’s keep our furry friends comfortable and healthy! 🐕💚 Have questions? Drop them below or give us a call!
