November is .

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), 50% of dogs over age 10, and 25% of all dogs will develop cancer. Although there is less information for cats, our feline friends also commonly develop cancer.

Cancer can develop in any body system. Symptoms vary according to the organs affected but may include:
• A lump or mass anywhere on your pet's body
• Difficulty eating or chewing, or a decreased appetite
• Weight loss
• Persistent vomiting, drooling, or diarrhea
• Difficulty breathing
• Bleeding from the nose or mouth
• Abdominal swelling
• A wound that will not heal
• Limping or lameness
• Excessive drinking/urinating
• Straining to defecate or urinate

Other diseases may cause similar symptoms, but reaching a diagnosis as quickly as possible is important. Cancer will not resolve on its own, and early detection is critical for successful treatment.

Back in January, Hamilton Groot, lovingly known as “Goose” was brought in by his owners with some concerning symptoms. His owners noticed increased coughing when he was in certain positions. A thorough exam was completed by Dr. Spry and our Internal Medicine service. Diagnostics revealed a significant amount of fluid in his chest. We were able to sedate Goose and drain the fluid from his chest.

About 3 weeks later we saw him for a follow up visit and a CT scan, which showed fluid build-up again, so we repeated the procedure to drain the fluid from his chest.

Goose was referred to Dr. Howser for a surgical consult. Dr. Howser recommended a combination of procedures: thoracic duct ligation, pericardiectomy, and cisterna chyli ablation.

In March of this year, Goose underwent surgery with Dr. Howser, which included a cisterna chyli ablation, thoracic duct ligation, and a window pericardiectomy. The surgery went well, and he was able to go home with his parents.

At his two-week re-check, Goose’s recovery was on the right path, and his owners were thrilled with his progress! We recently saw this sweet kid for another follow up and are pleased to report that he has had minimal fluid buildup or coughing! We will continue to monitor and work with Goose’s owners to ensure the stays on the right track, but are so pleased with his response to treatment and his resilience!

This week is – a special time designated to recognize, celebrate, and promote the vital role and valuable contributions technicians and assistants make to the veterinary profession and the health and well-being of animals.

As members of the healthcare team, they do whatever it takes to care for patients and their families – from triaging critical patients and providing life-saving CPR, to giving
extra cuddles to a sick pet and making sure they have plenty of blankets.

These talented professionals laugh with you, cry with you, and are always there for you and your pet.

This week (and every week) we celebrate our veterinary technicians and assistants. THANK YOU for all that you do!

Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day! Although we love the different shapes and sizes of our pet patients, obesity can lead to many serious health issues including diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, decreased life expectancy, and cancer.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day, raising public awareness of mental health issues around the globe through education and advocacy. 🧠🌎

Far from being all puppies and kittens, veterinarians face long hours, staffing shortages, financial pressures, and other challenges associated with providing medical care to so many pets in need, all of which take a mental toll.

Let's remember to show kindness and patience towards your veterinarian and hospital staff the next time you visit. ♥

It’s and this week is - an important reminder to us all that many people are going through silent struggles. Our very own veterinary health teams are at particularly high risk due to stressful job demands and the emotional toll of providing medical care for animals in need. However, anyone can be susceptible to suicidal thoughts so we should always be mindful and kind to each other.
