Does your pet have anxiety and fear of fireworks? Now is the time to make sure you have medications available for New Year's Eve. Your veterinarian can prescribe medication if needed. If you need a refill, talk to your veterinarian as soon as possible; many have limited hours over the holidays.

Funny Friday!!

Dogs never bite out of nowhere; they always show signs, and many people miss the signs of their whisper. If you punish a dog for growling or snarling, the dog will learn not to show those signs and will appear unpredictable.

If your dog is excessively itching at their ears, they could have an ear infection. Your veterinarian can do an ear cytology and look at it under a microscope to see if there are bacteria or yeast. They can also prescribe medication(s) to help clear the infection and control the itch.
If your pet needs regular ear cleaning, I can help in the convenience of your own home.

Did you know many shelters fill up in January?

Some think getting a pet as a Christmas gift is a great idea. Until the kids lose interest, there's no time to take care of the new pet; it was an unwanted gift, the landlord said no, the change in lifestyle, the pet needs house training, etc.

Pets are a lifetime commitment and need the attention and training of their owners.

About 80% of dogs in shelters are mixed breeds. Mixed breed dogs tend to be healthier, better behaved, live longer, and can perform the duties of purebred dogs, such as bomb and drug sniffing, search and rescue, and guiding blind people.

Drop a picture of your mixed-breed dog, and let’s celebrate them!

This month, we will talk about itching and scratching in pets. Itching and scratching are common with allergies and other skin disorders.

Welcome Millie to Traveling Tails Pet Care!

Millie is not the biggest fan of having her paws touched to trim her nails so her owners reached out to me for help.

Millie did pretty well with a little distraction of trays and pets and we were able to trim her nails without a big fight!

If you need help trimming your pet's nails, call or message me today!

Diabetes - Emergencies
There are emergency situations if your pet is diabetic. Your pet could become hypoglycemic and have extremely low blood sugar, or they could go into diabetic ketoacidosis and have incredibly high blood sugar.
Signs of hypoglycemia include restlessness, trembling or shivering, unusual movements, or coma.
Diabetic ketoacidosis can develop due to long-standing undiagnosed diabetes, insufficient insulin dose, or reduced insulin action. These signs include excessive thirst, increased urination, lethargy, weakness, vomiting, decreased appetite, increased breathing, weight loss with muscle wasting, dehydration, and an unkempt hair coat.
If you see any of these signs, call your veterinarian.

Today is Pet Birth Defect Awareness Day

Today is Pet Birth Defect Awareness Day. Pets can have birth defects similar to us humans. They can be caused by genetics, breed-related conditions, infection, toxins, or trauma. Some common defects are cleft palate, limb deformities, deformities of the eyes, nose, and palate, heart defects, hernias, retained testicles, and liver shunts are a few. Some defects can be fixed surgically or with medicine. Most pets who have birth defects can live a full life. My own cat, Divot, has a few birth defects. When he was found, and I took him in, he just had slits where his eyes should have been. He had a double enucleation surgery to remove both eyes. The eye tissue that was there was underdeveloped, so it was removed, and his eyelids sutured shut. He gets around with no problem in the house unless you move a chair out or leave a cabinet door open! We also recently found out he has Polycystic Kidney Disease. It was an incidental finding while ultrasounding his bladder to check for stones. Do you have a pet with a birth defect?
