If you guessed a tooth, you nailed it! ✔️

That’s right — this pet’s mysterious x-ray object turned out to be a lost tooth. While it might look alarming on an x-ray, this can happen during normal chewing, play, or as part of the natural process of losing baby teeth.

🦴 Fun fact:
Pets (especially energetic pups and curious cats) can sometimes swallow small objects without anyone noticing — even their own teeth! Most of the time, these pass without trouble, but it’s always a good idea to have anything unusual checked by a veterinary professional.

Great guesses, everyone! Stay tuned for the next Pet Puzzler! 🐾

🐾 Meet Timber! This adorable 2-month-old Lab puppy came to see our team after experiencing vomiting and diarrhea.

After a thorough exam and a negative parvo test from his primary vet, Dr. Reis diagnosed Timber with gastroenteritis, which is an upset stomach that can happen for a variety of reasons in young pups. 💙

We’re happy to share that Timber is feeling much better and back to wagging his tail! 🐶✨

🚨 When should you bring your pet to the emergency vet?

Some emergencies happen fast and knowing the signs can save your cat or dog’s life:

🐾 Breathing trouble – gasping, choking, or wheezing
🐾 Severe trauma – car accidents, falls, deep cuts
🐾 Collapse or seizures – sudden weakness, unresponsiveness
🐾 Persistent vomiting/diarrhea – especially with blood or dehydration
🐾 Toxin exposure – human meds, chocolate, chemicals, dangerous plants
🐾 Sudden swelling or pain – face, throat, or abdomen
🐾 Urinary or bowel blockages – straining, unable to go
🐾 Eye emergencies – trauma, bleeding, sudden blindness

Share with a friend or your favorite pet family to help everyone know when to bring their pet to the ER!

🐾 Early Signs of Pain in Cats and Dogs 🐾

Our pets can’t tell us when something hurts but they often show us in subtle ways. Recognizing early signs of pain can make a big difference in getting them the care they need.

👀 Watch for these changes:
🐶 Dogs may:

-Limp or favor one side
-Pant excessively even at rest
-Avoid stairs or jumping
-Become irritable or withdrawn

🐱 Cats may:

-Hide more than usual
-Stop grooming or overgroom one spot
-Hesitate to jump onto furniture
-Eat or play less

If you notice any of these behaviors, trust your instincts, Your pet could be in discomfort. Pain can appear suddenly or build up slowly, especially with age or injury.

Early attention helps pets feel better, faster. ❤️

🎃 Spooky fun at WVRC Racine/Kenosha! 👻

October was packed with festive fun! From our pumpkin scavenger hunt and decorating contest to our Scary Movie Bracket! After weeks of voting, The Shining claimed the title of #1 Ultimate Scary Movie. 🏆🩸

To celebrate, our team gathered for a Halloween movie day complete with themed games, quizzes, and cozy treats. 🍿 Everyone got their own popcorn, warm apple cider with cinnamon sticks, and even some Kool-Aid for a nostalgic touch.

🎃👻 Happy Howl-o-ween! 👻🎃

As you celebrate tonight, keep your furry friends safe from any spooky surprises:
🦴 Keep candy out of reach — chocolate and xylitol (found in sugar-free treats) can be toxic to pets.
🕯️ Watch those decorations — curious paws and wagging tails can knock over candles or chew on cords.
🚪 Secure your doors — trick-or-treat traffic can make it easy for frightened pets to slip outside.

A little caution can keep the night full of treats, not tricks, for your four-legged family members. 🐾💛

🚨 If your dog or cat is hit by a car, every minute matters.

Here’s what to do right away:
1️⃣ Stay calm and keep yourself safe. Approach carefully. Even the gentlest pet may bite or scratch when scared or hurt.
2️⃣ Move your pet out of traffic using a blanket or towel as a stretcher if needed.
3️⃣ Keep them warm and as still as possible. Movement can worsen internal injuries or fractures.
4️⃣ Do not give food, water, or medications unless directed by a veterinarian.
5️⃣ Head to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital immediately. Even if your pet seems okay, internal injuries or shock may not be visible right away.

Accidents happen in an instant but getting quick veterinary care can make all the difference. ❤️‍🩹
