Quality medical care begins with your family veterinarian. From time to time, your doctor may ask AVC to be a part of the medical team which cares for your pet, a

nd they will refer you to AVC. By referring you to us when your pet is ill or injured, your doctor demonstrates confidence in our ability to help you through a difficult and emotional time. AVC is always available to you for emergencies at those times your family veterinarian is closed. Should you ever find yourself in need of emergency services, you may walk into AVC at any time, day or night, without an appointment. We understand the worry and stress that can result from your pet’s illness or injury, and we will do our very best to ensure that you both are provided with the compassion and quality care you deserve.

We are aware that there is a high volume of concern regarding the seemingly new canine infectious respiratory disease complex that is sweeping through the United States. Efforts are currently underway to identify the one or more pathogens at the root cause of this.

Outbreaks of respiratory diseases occur regularly. This recent outbreak is not necessarily a cause for alarm.

There are many different bacterial and viral strains that can contribute to respiratory diseases. While we do not currently know which one(s) are causing the outbreak, current disease patterns aren't consistent with the appearance of a new pathogen.

The majority of dogs experiencing respiratory diseases will only display mild symptoms and recover fully in a 7-10 day time period. The most common sign is a frequent honking cough, that comes on suddenly, and may be accompanied by sneezing, and/or runny eyes and nose.

Typically, only a small percentage of dogs will develop a more severe disease dependent on pre-existing conditions and the dog's ability to fight off the infection.

Signs your dog needs immediate care include:
- Lingering or worsening cough
- Weakness/lethargy
- Inappetence

Dog's that would be at an increased risk of becoming more critically ill are:
- Short nose breeds (pugs, french bulldogs, boxers)
- Puppies
- Senior dogs with a compromised immune system
- A dog with a pre-existing respiratory or heart diagnosis

The best way to protect your dog is to keep their vaccinations up to date. Vaccines not only lower the chance of your dog contracting something but they make it less likely to develop into a severe disease and spread to other dogs. The current recommended vaccinations for respiratory diseases in dogs are Bordetella, Canine Adenovirus type 2 (DHPP), and canine Parainfluenza.

Additional things you can do to be proactive include:
- Remember that dogs can be contagious and still appear healthy.
- Limit your dog's interaction with other dogs that have an unknown health/vaccination status.
- Always wash your hands after handling other dogs to help prevent the spread of infection.
- Keep your dog away from toys, food, and water bowls used by dogs outside of your household.
- Stay informed on the developing information. Follow the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) on social media, local news, and internet resources.
- If your dog is sick, please keep them confined and at home away from other dogs.

We are here to help if you need us!

Meet Waldo! He’s 12 years old and was diagnosed with melanoma in his mouth. He’s been completing treatment with the melanoma vaccination which is given to stimulate Waldo’s immune system to recognize and fight the cancer.

Meet Dexter! We posted about him a year ago after having 3 different types of tumors being surgically removed (an a**l sac tumor, an adrenal gland tumor, and a benign but functional pituitary gland tumor) and completing treatment with mitoxantrone chemotherapy. Dexter is now 10 years old and recently came in for his yearly follow up and we are proud to say that Dexter is still cancer free! Well done, Dexter! 💙 Also, be sure to check out his cute homemade bandana! His owner always makes sure he looks sharp each time he comes to visit!

Congratulations to Sydney! She is a 12 year old australian shepherd that was diagnosed having subcutaneous hemangiosarcoma. She started chemotherapy in July and just finished her last treatment this week! We are so proud of how strong little Sydney has been throughout the process fighting cancer!

Meet Angel! This cute frenchie puppy came in only 10 days old with proptosis (eye bulging from socket). We performed surgery and removed the eye. We also placed a nasogastric tube to help her feed during this time. She is happily healing at home and her owners say she is doing great and is just a perfect little girl! She has a sister that is her best friend and she is being very loved on and pampered.❤️
