Hey! Did you know that the pet insurance, Trupanion covers foxtail cases? This is great, especially during this time of the year and in our area! Want more information on Trupanion? Ask us on your next vet visit or enroll your fur baby today! https://trupanion.com/

‼️ ‼️ ‼️ FOXTAILS ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

We had our first foxtail case yesterday! 🌾

Foxtails are everywhere right now and can easily get on your fur babies! Foxtails can cause problems by embedding in our patient's eyes, ears, nose, mouth, skin (toes), and in extreme cases, into the lungs any other areas! These little suckers do not stop where they land on your pet, they can burrow and can travel/ migrate anywhere.

Some signs to look for:
- Skin: lump/ bump, +/- discharge
- Toes: swelling, pain
- Ears: shaking, painful, irritation
- Nose: "sneezing fits"
- Eyes: swelling, painful, squinting of the eye.

Give us a call at (559) 686-8544, to have us look at your pet if you think your pet may have a foxtail.

**** Parvovirus Awareness!! ****

Rainy season is here and along with it are the rising number of positive parvovirus cases we have been getting. Today, we've already have had four parvo positive patients!

Parvovirus is highly contagious and is spread via fecal-oral route. This virus lives long and is very hardy in the environment. We are seeing a rise in cases because it is known to spread during this rainy season. There is an increase of moisture in the environment plus the rain can cause runoff, moving the virus into areas that did not have the virus before.

Signs that can be seen with this virus are severe, often bloody, diarrhea, vomiting, not eating, weakness and dehydration.

Vaccinating is the best form of prevention of this deadly disease. Please keep your fur babies updated on their vaccines. It truly saves lives. Vaccinate, Vaccinate, Vaccinate. We cannot stress this enough.

If you see any of these signs from your pet, bringing your pet in to be examined and tested for canine parvovirus is strongly recommended in order to start treatment, if needed.
