Today is International Day of Happiness!!!

We wanted to showcase Kooper today! He comes every month to see us, and he is one of the HAPPIEST dogs we've ever met!!! πŸ’•

He comes in with his cute little wiggle butt and runs around the room until you stop to pet him! He is a little social butterfly and usually sports some cute accessories . . . such as this Valentine's Day tie!

We hope that you all have a really happy day today!

Is your pet facing a cancer diagnosis?
Was your brain able to process anything your veterinarian told you after you heard the word "cancer?"
Unfortunately, many of us can't remember anything else after we receive that kind of news. This also goes for a lot of other chronic or terminal diseases.
This blog article helps to navigate what to do next . . .

☠ TOXIN INFORMATION FOR TODAY ☠

While there are a variety of mushrooms that ARE safe for pets and can provide a myriad of health benefits, some are VERY toxic and fatal if ingested!

The red and white mushroom that most everyone thinks about when they visualize mushrooms is VERY toxic, for instance.

Here's a great little article about mushroom ingestion in pets from Pet Poison Helpline.

☠ TOXIN INFORMATION FOR TODAY ☠

Rodenticides (rat poison, rat bait, etc.) have long been common products that veterinarians get called for when pets ingest them.

ALL rodenticides are toxic to pets! However, not all of them are created equal!

The "older" rodenticides were anti-coagulants, meaning that they caused bleeding and the inability to form clots. These were honestly the easiest for veterinarians to treat, as long as pets were brought in within a certain period of time.

However, newer rodenticides on the market work in different ways and can cause a myriad of different symptoms and problems, making them much more difficult to treat.

Here is a great article about rodenticides from Pet Poison Helpline.

Regardless of what kind of rodenticide it is, make sure to keep your pet away from any of these that may be lurking in your home, camper, garage, or barn!

😍🐾 Do you know a licensed veterinary technician who is interested in working with a small, close-knit team of compassionate, courageous, and education-focused women?

Does having a sense of autonomy and pride in your work fill your cup?

Does the idea of educating clients about pet health care make you feel fulfilled?

Do you want to be considered a veterinary superhero by your peers?

Then, look no further . . .

We are looking for an LVT to round out our team! πŸ’•

Marissa, Shannon, and Kim make up our rockstar LVT trio, and they are looking to create a veterinary quartet! 😍🎡 (Singing is not required but encouraged!)

Our LVTs are cross-trained so that they can easily slip into a reception role, as all of our support staff are, if the need arises. Our doctors utilize our LVTs to the top of their licenses. You will see your own wellness and blood work appointments, assist with anesthesia, surgical prep, and patient recovery, triage emergency phone calls, educate clients about kitten/puppy behavior, take x-rays, perform treatments, collect and read lab samples, and, most importantly, keep the doctors in line! 😎

If you are interested in learning more about our LVT position or would like to submit a resume, please do so by emailing us at [email protected] and putting ATTN: MARISSA in the title.

Please share this with others who might be interested! Thank you!

☠ TOXIN INFORMATION FOR TODAY ☠

We must not forget to talk about batteries!

Batteries can potentially be very toxic if ingested or chewed!

The alkaline or acidic material within the battery can be very corrosive to your pet's mouth and GI tract! They could develop ulceration and bleeding. Batteries, if ingested whole, could also act as a foreign body obstruction!

☠ TOXIN INFORMATION FOR TODAY ☠

We are still in the middle of our north country winter at the moment, so this is a good time to talk about antifreeze!

Ethylene glycol antifreeze is EXTREMELY toxic to pets! It is usually alluring to pets because of its sweet taste, but it is LETHAL to pets even in small quantities.

Please make sure to keep your pets away from parked vehicles and out of the garage if you store antifreeze anywhere there.

Signs of antifreeze toxicity start out with mild drunken-like activity (similar to alcohol poisoning), vomiting, and diarrhea. It quickly moves onto acute kidney failure if not addressed right away!

☠ TOXIN INFORMATION FOR TODAY ☠

To***co products are also toxic not only to us but to our pets!

The ni****ne in to***co products, when ingested, may cause vomiting, depression, an elevated heart rate, a decrease in blood pressure, and even seizures!

The ni****ne present in E-cigarette liquid refills is EXTREMELY concentrated and is often fatal to pets if ingested! Often, the liquid is sweet-smelling and tastier to pets, so please be aware of this if you use any of these products!

πŸ₯ΉπŸ’”

The center photograph in this collage was taken last Friday, March 7th . . .

It was Stacey's official last day with us.

While our team is going to miss her so much, we are happy that she is going to be able to work closer to home in a less physically demanding position but still in the medical field (even though she's crossing back over to the "dark" side πŸ˜‰).

We are grateful for the time that she's been with us, triaging phone calls, being a cheerleader for our team, and for stepping in to help with challenging blood draws and catheter placements and pets with a few "extra" emotions in tow.

We are wishing you the absolute best in your new endeavors, Stacey!

You better come back to visit . . . we will miss seeing your new kitty, Puck (and you, of course)!

You will always be part of our Animal Doctors family . . .

☠ TOXIN INFORMATION FOR TODAY ☠

You probably wouldn't think too much about bread dough being toxic to pets, but it actually CAN be serious if pets consume it!

The uncooked, bread dough contains yeast that will ferment the carbohydrates within the bread dough, and this results in the formation of ethanol and carbon dioxide.

When a pet ingests uncooked bread dough, the fermentation process may continue within the pet's stomach, causing bloat and disorientation, not to mention the possibility of a foreign body obstruction effect. It's kind of like having alcohol poisoning!

So, keep your unbaked breads out of reach of inquisitive noses!
