What does a microchip look like? An uncooked grain of rice!

Microchips are a tool for ensuring lost pets can be reunited with their owners! This tiny device, implanted just under the skin, can be scanned by vets and shelters for an identifying number that is connected to your contact information.

Unlike collars or tags, microchips are permanent and won’t fall off. It’s a quick, relatively painless procedure that provides peace of mind. Don't forget to keep your registration information up to date!

Meet Norman the Lab and Janet the Cat, who both dwell with Dr. Melissa Caid. After growing up in Moorhead, she went to vet school and decided to join the TRVH team because--let's face it--we have the cutest patients!

Dr. Caid's passion is helping alleviate itching in our furry friends. She's incredibly capable in all aspects of the profession, though, and we all have a fun time working with her.

The next time you come in for an appointment, be sure to say hi and tell her thanks for her hard work!

Sad news: we've had a puppy test POSITIVE for PARVOVIRUS recently.

Parvovirus is a serious and life-threatening virus that can strike puppies with devastating effects.

This environmentally-hardy virus can persist in high-traffic areas like dog parks, rest areas, and even sidewalks, posing a significant risk to unvaccinated pups.

Until your puppy completes their full series of vaccines, it’s crucial to avoid socializing them with dogs of unknown vaccine status and to steer clear of these areas.

Keeping your puppy safe from parvo starts with responsible socialization and vaccination.

Protect your pup, protect their future! 🐾

Gobee came in for a check-up today. She's one of our few patients who has reached the wise age of 15 years! What advice does she have for dog owners? So glad you asked!

It's essential to keep an eye out for signs that might indicate underlying Here are some common signs to watch for in older dogs:

Mobility Changes: Difficulty getting up, reluctance to climb stairs, or stiffness after rest can all be signs of arthritis or other joint issues.

Changes in Appetite or Weight: A sudden decrease in appetite or significant weight loss/gain can indicate various health problems, including dental issues, kidney disease, or diabetes.

Behavioral Changes: If your dog becomes more irritable, anxious, or withdrawn, it could be a sign of pain, cognitive decline, or other health issues.

Excessive Thirst or Urination: Increased drinking or urination can signal kidney problems, diabetes, or other conditions.

Lumps and Bumps: Regularly check your dog for any new lumps or bumps, as these could be benign or something more serious like cancer.

Regular veterinary check-ups are crucial to catch and manage these age-related issues early on, ensuring your senior dog stays happy and healthy as they age gracefully.

EEK! This is what a POSITIVE blood parasite screening test looks like, and it's not good news.

Ticks are more than just a nuisance—they can transmit serious diseases to our pets. In Fargo, the most common tick-borne infections we encounter are Lyme disease and anaplasmosis.

- **Lyme Disease**: This infection can attack joints, making activity painful, and even affect the kidneys, sometimes leading to kidney failure.
- **Anaplasmosis**: This disease targets various blood cells, potentially causing dangerous anemia or clotting issues.

Since the weather has warmed, we've seen dogs infected with one or both of these diseases on a weekly basis. This is why we strongly recommend using year-round tick prevention! Keep your pets safe and healthy by protecting them from these dangerous diseases.

MAST CELLS are a type of immune cell involved in allergic reactions and inflammation. Unfortunately, they can form tumors known as mast cell tumors (MCTs), which are common in both dogs and cats. 🐾

These tumors can appear as raised lumps on or under the skin and can vary in size.

Mast cell tumors can release chemicals that cause symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching at the tumor site. If left long enough, they--like other malignant tumors--can spread to other parts of the body, leading to gastrointestinal issues, bleeding disorders, and systemic illness. 🐶🐱

If you notice any unusual lumps or bumps on your pet, it's essential to get them checked by your vet. Early detection and treatment are crucial!

Vet care on a budget? Absolutely possible! 🐾 A little research can go a long way, from picking the right breed for your lifestyle to preventing issues before they start (hello, annual check-ups!). And don’t forget those pearly whites—brushing your pet’s teeth can save you from costly dental bills down the road. 🦷 ✨ Small steps, big savings! 💸 #tworiversvet #PetCareTips #PreventativeVet #HealthyPetsHappyWallet

Here’s a little ray of sunshine straight from Two Rivers! Meet Bogey. If you've had a long day and need a pick-me-up, Bogey’s got you covered with his sweet face and puppy charm! 🐾💙 #tworiversvet #cutestpatients

Intestinal parasites like tapeworms and roundworms are more common in pets than you might think, and they can pose a risk to humans too! These parasites are easily spread when pets lick your faces after coming into contact with contaminated environments. Routine parasite prevention is key to keeping your pet and family safe. That's why we recommend checking a stool sample annually to catch and prevent infections early. Keep your pets and household healthy with regular parasite control. We carry and recommend Simparica Trio, but there are other good alternatives on the market. #tworiversvet #parasiteprevention #intestinalparasites #doghealth #cathealth #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #vetlife

You can have both, little kitten! We do our best to keep all of our patients happy and comfortable at Two Rivers, but sometimes pets still express their frustration with us. We understand! (Note: this was routine blood draw. This kitty did great during her time with us.) #tworiversvet #cutestpatients #cathealth #veterinarymedicine #vettechlife #vetmed

✔️ Reminder: be careful with all chews and treats. If your dog or cat hasn't eaten for 24 hours, has been vomiting, and not acting like itself, it's time to see the vet. Waiting can cost your pet its life. Fortunately, this dog was helped in time and is on its way to a full recovery! #giforeignbody #tworiversvet #vetmed #veterinarymedicine #doghealth #cathealth #petcare

Tick-borne diseases are a serious threat to dogs and cats, and we see a LOT of ticks in Fargo! Keep an eye out for signs like lethargy, fever, and loss of appetite. Prevention is key: use year-round tick prevention and check your pets regularly for ticks. Even if your pet never goes outside, protection is important! 🐾 #TickPrevention #PetHealth #TwoRiversVet #ticksaregross

🐕 This week, we performed a splenectomy on a sweet dog who just wasn't feeling like herself. After noticing a mass in her abdomen and finding no other tumors in her body, we took her to surgery to remove it. The mass was located on her spleen. Splenic tumors are relatively common in dogs and can present with vague symptoms like lethargy, decreased appetite, or a distended abdomen. These tumors put dogs at risk for significant internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening. Early detection and removal are crucial to prevent rupture and spread. We sent this spleen to the NDSU lab for evaluation, and we're hopeful for a positive outcome. Regular check-ups and being attentive to changes in your pet’s behavior can make all the difference! #TwoRiversVet #Splenectomy #VetSurgery #DogHealth #PetCare #vetmed #vetmedicine #caninesurgery

Elwood is a dapper male green iguana who accidentally broke his tail a day ago. He needed the end amputated, and he did very well for the procedure. He's feeling better and back to his normal activity! (Please note: he's currently shedding, so his scales appear less lustrous than usual). Thanks for visiting, Elwood! 🦎 Did you know? Iguanas are fascinating creatures! Here are 3 interesting facts about them: 1️⃣ Iguanas have a specialized gland in their nose that helps them excrete excess salt, allowing them to live in salty environments. 2️⃣ Iguanas are herbivores and primarily eat leaves, flowers, and fruits, but they occasionally indulge in insects and small animals. 3️⃣ Female iguanas can lay up to 70 eggs at a time, and these eggs take around 10 weeks to hatch. 🌿 #IguanaFacts #PetFacts #cutestpatients #wildcardfriday #tworiversvet #exoticpets
