Loud booms and bright flashes of lights can be terrifying for our furry friends. At least one-third of dogs suffer from noise aversion, a fear and anxiety exhibited upon hearing loud noises that leads to stress, suffering, and potentially-destructive behavior.
#1 - Keep dogs inside during fireworks displays. Make sure if they must be outside that they have collars with identification on securely. Microchips are incredibly helpful for shelters and clinics to identify stray pets that may come in!
#2- Provide your furry friends with a safe space or zone indoors with white noise such as a TV, calming music, or a fan. An interior room, away from windows, if possible would be best.
#3 - Make sure they receive plenty of exercise the day of so they have less pent-up nervous energy during the fireworks displays.
#4 - Different medications may be prescribed, including a medication that you can administer to your dog before or as fireworks occur. This can help provide your dog with immediate relief from their nose aversion symptoms.
Most importantly, Washington Veterinary Clinic is here to help! If your furry companion has a noise aversion, plan ahead, and give us a call today at 785-325-2391!

Grass turn out time is almost here. 🐮💉Contact us for all your spring vaccine needs!
Great article below ⬇️ with some good points everyone should review!
May is a popular grass turnout month in this region and often spring shots are administered. Here are a few chute-side reminders to ensure an effective vaccination protocol.
1️⃣ Maintain equipment:
➡️ Clean syringes before and after each processing day. Use boiling water rather than a disinfectant solution, as a disinfectant residue can impact the efficacy of future products in that syringe.
➡️ Use the right needle. Depending on if cows, calves or bulls are being processed, consider the needle gauge and length that is the most appropriate.
➡️ Change needles often. Needles should, at minimum, be changed every time a syringe is reloaded, and when a needle is bent. To prevent disease transfer, changing every 10 head or so has value. Plus, it keeps the needle sharp!
2️⃣ Read the product label:
➡️ Confirm the product selected is for control of the pathogens you are concerned about.
➡️ Identify the proper dosage and route of administration.
➡️ Most vaccines require two doses and many have a withdrawal time which should be in the vaccination records.
3️⃣ Handle vaccines appropriately:
➡️ Only mix enough modified live vaccine for 30-minute intervals.
➡️ Check expiration dates, and ensure the product was stored properly. Excess heat, sun, or frost exposure can all damage vaccines.
➡️ Utilize a cooler for both vaccines and to store syringes to avoid sudden temperature changes of the vaccine which can diminish efficacy.
4️⃣ Injection sites:
➡️ Administer in the neck with the appropriate route of administration (subcutaneous, intramuscular, etc.)
➡️ Target a 4 inch space between injection sites. For calves, this is difficult and both sides of the neck may need utilized.
➡️ Be aware of wet or muddy hair coats and dull needles. These will increase the likelihood of injection site lesions.
Finally, ❗keep records❗ Include animal ID’s, products administered with serial and lot numbers and withdrawal time, and any other relevant notes. The immune response to all vaccines can be influenced by a variety of factors. Utilize low stress handling and practices that align with BQA values to get the full value of the health investment spring shots entail.
