Nyx and Perri are Dr. Gese's dogs that get to come to work with her and entertain us in the treatment area!

Today I looked over at them earlier and they were in a weird spooning position and then later they were holding paws! The love these girls have for each other is awesome to see!

Does your pet have a fear of Fireworks?!

Firework shows will be here before you know it for the Fourth of July Celebration! And probably for days before and after the Holiday!

Those of you that have pets that are fearful of fireworks and use medication to help ease their fear. Please call us NOW to get their prescriptions ready! We want to ensure we have them ready and prepared for this stressful event. Also call if you are unsure if they are due for their annual exams. We will need to ensure their exams are current before we can prescribe medication!

We have had one busy week! Dr. Gese did fall ill at the beginning of this week. We appreciate everyone that was able to reschedule their appointments this week so that she could rest and recover! Dr. Gese is on the mend but still wearing a mask until she is fully feeling better.

This week even though hectic we did get to practice using our Dental X-ray machine on two patients! We are incredibly excited to incorporate X-rays into our Dental procedures!

We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Memorial Day! We will be closed Monday May 27th to observe the Memorial Day Holiday. Thank you to those who serve our country and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom!

It’s Black Fly season! Those pesky flies will be out causing trouble for our K9 friends but don’t worry, these bites will go away on their own! They leave a scary red mark but can commonly only cause itching. A little hydrocortisone cream on them and your pup should be ok. Keep the spots clean and dry and keep them from licking the areas. If tolerated, a small ice/cool compress will help with comfort and irritation. If your pet seems to be having a more severe reaction, don’t hesitate to call us to get your pet seen!

It is officially flea and tick season in the Northwest. Bravecto provides 3 months of protection with one simple treatment. A delicious chewable tablet for our canine friends and a topical application for cats.

Simple, safe and effective!

In early-October, several cases of a highly contagious respiratory infection were presented in various dogs throughout the country, and now in Spokane.

When initially discovered, the respiratory infection was thought to be Kennel Cough, and has presented with kennel cough-like symptoms (loud cough, eye discharge, wheezing;) however, later on many pets developed cases of severe pneumonia, which established standard methods of antibiotics & treatment have seemed to be ineffective against.

At this time, although it is unknown how widespread the new respiratory infection is/will be throughout Spokane, we recommend keeping your pets up to date on both Bordetella (Kennel Cough) and DHLPP(distemper/hepatitis/lepto/parainfluenza/parvo) vaccines. If your pet is/begins exhibiting any signs of coughing, nasal discharge, lethargy, wheezing, please seek veterinary care.

Additionally with holidays approaching, we imagine many clients/pet owners will plan on boarding their pets during this time. If at all possible, we would like to encourage owners to refrain from boarding at this time. Rather, consider alternative supervision such as a house-sitter or dog-sitter while/if they are away for the holidays.

Do not allow your dogs to be around unfamiliar dogs like at dog parks or stray dogs. We do not know their vaccine history or if they potentially could be carrying this illness. It would be ideal to avoid dog parks.

As we learn more we will keep you informed. We still recommend that you bring your pets to the clinic for routine vaccines, exams and surgeries. With that in mind if your pet has any symptoms of this illness before their appointment please let our staff know before you arrive. We want to keep all pets safe as well as staff safe for their pets at home.

We understand this is very alarming and we will keep you posted as we learn more.

****REMINDER GREENACRES ANIMAL CLINIC WILL BE CLOSED THURSDAY NOVEMBER 23RD AND FRIDAY NOVEMBER 24TH DUE TO THE THANKSGIVING DAY HOLIDAY****

Dr. Gese, Sara, Kyra and Katie all wish you a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

There are many things that can happen to your pet during the Thanksgiving Holiday. The number one reported pet emergency during the Thanksgiving Holiday is a condition called Pancreatitis. However there are many other things that can happen to your pets.

Eating turkey or turkey skin sometimes even a small amount can cause a life-threatening condition in pets known as pancreatitis. Fatty foods are hard for animals to digest, and many foods that are healthy for people are poisonous to pets, including onions, raisins, and grapes.

Pancreatitis is a very painful condition that can be triggered by many foods that we as humans consume over the Holiday.

We started out by going to a private dog park on Saturday with our dogs! It was really fun to watch the animals do an agility course and hang out! The Sniff Spot was a really fun experience and all of our pets approved of one another!

It's been a great Vet Tech appreciation week so far!
