⚠️IMPORTANT READ! Thank you Port City VRH for spreading awareness!

“Certain breeds are more susceptible to neurological disorders due to genetic predispositions. For example, Dachshunds, French Bulldogs, and Shih Tzus are prone to Intervertebral Disc Disease, while German Shepherds and Corgis can face Degenerative Myelopathy. Breeds like Huskies and Beagles may experience seizures, and Great Danes and Dobermans are at risk for Wobbler Syndrome. Knowing your pet's breed risks can help in early detection and management of these conditions. 🐕🐾 “

🤔Many owners have asked us if we "even see Heartworm disease in NH". Oh yes we do! Here at Salem Animal Hospital we have treated a total of 6 patients in the past year for Heartworm disease (!!) 🙀
Dogs are a natural host for heartworms, which means that they live inside the dog, mature into adults, mate and produce offspring (!!!)
If untreated, their numbers can increase, and dogs have been known to harbor several hundred worms in their bodies (!!!!!!)
🦟Biting mosquitoes can carry the disease from one pet to another, including in the same household.
Prevention is by far the best option, and treatment—when needed—should be administered as early in the course of the disease as possible. Yearly testing is STRONGLY encouraged at your pets' annual exam.

In Loving Memory of Daisy

Today, we lost a beautiful soul, Daisy. Though our GSDR team never had the chance to meet her personally, Daisy touched our hearts deeply. Her life was tragically cut short after she slipped her collar at a local Petco and bolted through the automatic doors.

Daisy's adventure took her across busy Route 28 in Salem, where many kind-hearted people tried to help, but her fear drove her to keep running. Our team worked tirelessly alongside her family, setting up traps and feeding stations, hoping to bring her home safely. Despite a few sightings and her family's efforts to catch a glimpse of her, Daisy remained elusive.

Last week, Daisy was spotted running along Routes 213 and 93. Early yesterday morning, she was seen again on Route 213. At 2:30 AM, she headed off the on-ramp of Route 93, somehow making her way back onto Route 93 South. Tragically, Daisy was struck by a car near the river bridge, close to the Dracut exit.

We are grateful to Heather for reporting what she believed to be Daisy. Without her report, we might not have had the closure we now have. Our heartfelt thanks also go to Renee Falardeau, the Animal Control Officer from Methuen, and Salem Animal Control Officer Bjarna O'Brien for their invaluable help over the past few days. We appreciate everyone who called in with sightings and shared our posts about Daisy.

Daisy, we are deeply sorry that we couldn't save you, but we take solace in knowing that you were loved. Our thoughts are with her family during this difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Daisy Girl. You will never be forgotten.

Urgent Missing tan and white mixed breed from the area of Route 28 Rockingham Plaza (Petco, Kohls area). Please drive with caution in the area and do not chase or follow her with car. This dog is very scared and we do not want her making it to Route 93. PLEASE CALL RIGHT AWAY IF SEEN. VERY SHY 1-855-639-5678

Very very important information! Thank you Salem NH Police Department for expressing the dangers of leaving your dog in the car. 🐾😎☀️

LEAVE YOUR PETS HOME!!!

If you are running out to do some errands during these hot summer days, please leave your pets at home.

Running inside for “just a minute” and leaving them in the car can be quite stressful, and even FATAL, to your pets.

Just a few minutes can heat up a car to extremely uncomfortable temperatures which can have lasting physical effects on your pets.

Just imagine sitting in a car, even with the windows cracked, with a winter jacket on and no AC….doesn’t seem too pleasant, does it?

(There are some vehicles that have “pet mode” which continue to provide AC, which are great, but they can fail as well)

So please, LEAVE THEM HOME!

Osteoarthritis (OA) in dogs can cause pain, stiffness, and lameness. It’s in a dog’s nature to hide pain or discomfort. It's up to us to look for the signs:

-Difficulty getting up
-Lethargy, weight gain
-Reluctance to play, jump, or run
-Irritability or behavioral changes
-Pain when touched or petted
-Difficulty urinating or defecating, or having accidents
-Swollen joints, licking at joints
