Good afternoon! I hope everyone is staying cool. I wanted to let everyone know about Bravecto Quantum, a new long-acting flea and tick medication. Bravecto Quantum is an injectable flea and tick medication for dogs 6 months of age and older that kills fleas and most ticks for 12 months (it kills the Lone Star Tick for only 8 months). It is safe to administer alongside vaccines and heartworm preventatives. Much like the oral Bravecto we've been using for the last several years, Bravecto Quantum has a warning to be used with caution with dogs that have a history of neurologic disease. While the up front cost of Bravecto Quantum is greater than buying individual Bravecto chewable tablets, in most cases significant savings exist when compared to the cost of buying Bravecto chewable tablets individually over the course of the year. For pricing or to schedule an appointment, feel free to call the clinic (517) 741-6040.

I had the opportunity this afternoon to treat a cow that was near calving with a suspected vaginal prolapse. Much to my surprise, there were calf intestines hanging out of the v***a. The cow didn't have a prolapse, but was attempting to deliver a malformed calf. The calf was already dead, as is often the case, so a decision was made to attempt a fetotomy and deliver the calf in pieces. We were fortunate in that a single cut allowed me to deliver the calf in 2 pieces, hopefully allowing the cow to make a speedy recovery and get another crack at motherhood next year.

Good evening. I've been getting a lot of questions about the mystery illness occurring in dogs in the northern lower peninsula. I've been waiting to comment as not enough information was available and the information that was available, quite frankly, wasn't very good. This is a screen shot of an email that the state of Michigan sent to all licensed veterinarians today. The mystery illness is indeed Parvovirus. The in-clinic Parvovirus tests occasionally yields a false negative result. I've had more than one dog in the past 10 years that I was sure had Parvovirus, test negative for Parvovirus. The Parvovirus vaccines available on the market are very effective and I've never seen a fully vaccinated dog acquire Parvovirus. It's important to remember that in order to receive the best protection, the dog needs to be fully vaccinated. This means the dog should have had two vaccines 3-4 weeks apart after being 12 weeks of age, and a booster vaccine given every 1-3 years (depending on the specific vaccine used). The vaccine is cheap, effective and serious side effects are rare. Treating Parvovirus infections is a real drag and the disease is preventable so please, make sure your dog is up to date on their vaccines!

I hope this afternoon finds everyone well! I wanted to give the Facebook world a heads-up that I'm going to be out of town from 8/6/22 through 8/14/22. I'll be back in the office on Monday 8/15/22. The office will be open while I'm gone so clients will be able to schedule appointments and pick up medicine. We will be forwarding any gravely ill patients to the emergency hospital for evaluation and care while I'm away. While I'm away, I won't be able to be reached via phone, text, smoke signals, ouija board, prayer, Instagram or Facebook. If any problems come up while I'm away, please make sure to call the office and they'll be able to help steer you to the appropriate emergency facility. I hope everyone has a great week!
