Harry is now rolling in style for his glucose checks 🐈‍⬛ 💉 He was a good boy for his tiny poke and we will do another spot check in 3 months as long as he is well otherwise.

Diabetes mellitus is seen in about 1 in 100 cats and they typically will have type 2 diabetes. The two most common signs of diabetes noticed by pet owners at home are weight loss, despite a good appetite and increased thirst and urination. Treatment for our diabetic patients is insulin therapy, dietary control, and overall monitoring. Close monitoring will help keep the patient regulated on their insulin dose and avoid complications, such as hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. Regular assessments of weight, glucose checks, and appetite should be evaluated in order to help maintain blood sugar levels 🩸💉

Herd health is so important for many reasons, and can automate detection of unusual activity, stress, early signs of infection, disease, and other issues. Being proactive and doing herd health exams can decrease treatment costs and improve animal well-being 🩺♥️

Deanna & Sherry are loving on one of our senior patients who Deanna happens to be fostering through 🫶🏻 This good boy had a senior bloodwork panel that checks liver, kidneys, glucose, blood counts, and other vital measurements to ensure good patient health. We would encourage all senior patients to have bloodwork done periodically to help monitor for underlying diseases 🩸🦠

👋🏻 WAVE YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR LIKE YOU JUST DON’T CARE👋🏻

Dear friends, family, furry ones, & all who don’t want to be pulling these off their pets,

There are ways to PREVENT ticks from attaching AND transmission of diseases.

Step 1.) Apply topical Bravecto to our feline friends & give a chewable Bravecto to our canine friends. Once a tick bites, they will quickly die and fall off.

Step 2.) For our canine friends, we have a 2 series lyme vaccine that is very effective at protecting our pets 💉

If you’ve been pulling off ticks all summer and your pet isn’t protected, please call in and we can test their blood within 10 minutes for 3 main tickborne diseases🩸

Sincerely,
Wayside Vet Clinic

Mackenzie, one of our assistants and Terry are out enjoying a nice morning graze ☀️🌱

Terry came in for being urinary blocked and is staying with us for a couple of days with a urinary catheter placed so he can efficiently pass urine and an IV catheter to administer fluids and medications as needed. Becoming urinary blocked can develop for a variety of reasons and can be an extremely painful experience. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can prevent blockage or stones from developing, which is especially beneficial for male goats, who commonly experience this.

Advice for goat owners‼️: Provide them with a low-grain diet that includes a mineral block or loose mineral supplements as a way to prevent stones from forming to keep your little guys healthy 🐐
