Christmas Collection Update!

With the gracious help of our clients, staff, and so many others, Brandywine is happy to say that our Christmas collection for patients undergoing chemo treatments far surpassed all our expectations! In total we collected enough items to put together 173 care packages and 60 blankets as well as special bags for kids and toys to give to the children’s hospital! Since the collection completed, our staff as well as clients have been working hard to assemble each bag with care and get all the blankets tied and ready to go. With so many amazing donations, we were able to not only donate to ECU Health in Greenville, but also Southeastern Medical Oncology in Goldsboro, Regional Medical Oncology in Wilson, Physicians East in Greenville, UNC Nash Cancer Center in Rocky Mount, as well as Wake Med Children’s Hospital. Without everyone’s support, we would not have been able to do this amazing project in honor of Karen. So, thank you again to everyone who helped make this possible!

While we find Christmas decorations beautiful and festive, our pets don't always think the same. There are many hazards with pets and decorations but one that many do not think about is a snow globe and most people would not know that some snow globes contain antifreeze. This heartbreaking post was shared with us and we, like the original poster hope that this helps to educate others in case this were to ever happen to them.
If you ever suspect that your pet has gotten into antifreeze or any other toxin, please call ASPCA Poison Control at (888) 426-4435 and seek veterinary help.

🚨 Important Boarding Announcement! 🚨
Upcoming changes for boarding requirements

For the safety of the dogs boarding at Brandywine Veterinary Hospital, starting November 7th 2022, we will require that all dogs boarding be fully vaccinated against Canine Influenza, in addition to the other vaccines already required. This means that all dogs must have completed at least the initial 2 vaccines and after completion of those, are boosted yearly. If you are unsure of your pet’s vaccination status or need to get them in for a vaccine, please give us a call! We appreciate your understanding as we make this change for the safety of your dog as well as others staying in our facility.

So what is Canine Influenza?
Canine Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory virus that is transmitted dog to dog and was first identified in 2004. CIV, as it is commonly known, is transmitted through close contact with an infected dog often in a restricted space such as a boarding facility, daycare, shelter, or grooming facility. Dogs who are infected will have an onset of symptoms 2-3 days after being infected and peak shedding of the virus is around 3-4 days however, they can continue to shed the virus for up to 24 days and can continue to cough for weeks following recovery from the infection. The most common symptoms shown include nasal discharge, cough, and high fever. While CIV infections have not shown a significant mortality rate, CIV infections as well as other respiratory viruses can compromise the lungs normal defenses increasing the risk for secondary pneumonias. The best way to protect your dog from the effects of Canine Influenza is having them vaccinated.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please feel free to contact us and we will be glad to help!
