Whenever an owner suffers the loss of a pet it is tragic and I can feel their pain because I have been through it too. Even when pet owners do everything right at the vets, such as running bloodwork or seeing specialists for disease, things do not always work out well. As a general practitioner, I see mostly wellness cases and minor illnesses, but sometimes I deal with more severe conditions and I work with local emergency hospitals and specialists to provide care as affordably as I can. Most veterinarians have no say in how much services cost but we can usually find a middle ground to offer care that owners can afford.

I understand that the cost of everything has gone up substantially over the recent few years and without pet insurance myself it would be hard for me to take my dogs to see specialists when they have gotten very sick and need emergency surgery, but I am still grateful that they were available to help me when we have needed them.

I encourage all pet owners to have a savings plan or pet insurance for these situations so they are not left making difficult decisions about their pets’ care. Do not wait for your pets to get worse before seeking urgent care if your regular vet has no available appointments or is unequipped to deal with critical cases because it can result in serious consequences.

What are Ear Mites? Ear mites are tiny infectious organisms resembling microscopic ticks. The mite can just barely be seen by the naked eye as a small white dot, though. Ordinarily, it is necessary to look at an ear wax sample under the microscope to see it. Infection usually produces a characteristic dry black ear discharge that is commonly said to resemble coffee grounds. This discharge is composed of ear wax, blood, inflammatory biochemicals, and the ear mites themselves. Because the discharge is so classic in appearance, a diagnosis of ear mite infection is often made based on its presence. This leads to the potential to be led astray. It is best to examine the material under the microscope and confirm the mites so that proper treatment can be instituted.

I could write a lot but it’s been very hard accepting that my friend is gone. I will try my best to honor him and his memory.

Dr. Zawie mentored me early in my career when I had moved from a few different clinics and I was having trouble finding the right fit. When I started at Bensonhurst in 2015 I finally felt at home and learned what it meant to be a true community practitioner. He had a down to earth way of talking to clients like real people but he could also be counted on to help them and their pets in special ways when they could not afford to go to the emergency hospital. We hospitalized many dogs and cats in our small clinic and saved many lives together that would have been otherwise euthanized. Because of his influence I grew the confidence to practice as my true authentic self since he showed me that vets could go to work and have fun with their staff while doing important work in the neighborhood.

I’m going to miss you a lot. Though your physical self has left us, your shining light will remain to brighten the clinics where your legacy remains in those of whom you influenced greatly. Rest in peace, friend.

From :
The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has detected the canine distemper virus (CDV) in raccoons and skunks in the Greenwood Heights, Sunset Park, and Windsor Terrace neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
Canine distemper is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease that affects an animal’s respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems. Signs can resemble other illnesses, such as rabies, and distinguishing between them requires specific testing.
Thanks to a safe and effective vaccine, the prevalence of canine distemper has declined in North America over the past few decades. However, dogs who are not fully vaccinated remain at risk. Puppies who have not yet completed their vaccination series are especially vulnerable.
To protect your pet:
Ensure their vaccinations are up to date.
When outdoors, keep dogs on a leash and away from wild animals. Don’t feed wild animals.
Avoid exposing puppies to unknown dogs until they are fully vaccinated.
