Even though we we care about dental hygine year round, Februrary is technically pet dental month.
Bad breath may seem harmless, but in reality, it’s an indication of bacterial buildup on dogs’ teeth and gums. Without proper at-home care, this bacterial biofilm—called plaque—hardens into tartar and attracts even more bacteria, which can lead to more serious health problems.
Why choose Oravet?
1. Fresh breath—and a healthy smile.
Lots of dogs have bad breath, and a common cause of bad breath in dogs is the buildup of plaque and bacteria on the teeth and gums. ORAVET chews fight bad breath before it starts—by preventing bacterial attachment.
2. A unique ingredient.
ORAVET Dental Hygiene Chews contain delmopinol, an ingredient used in human oral care rinses. Delmopinol coats the teeth, preventing bacteria from attaching to the enamel, inhibiting plaque formation, and keeping your dog’s mouth protected.
3. Prevents plaque and tartar buildup.
ORAVET chews have been clinically shown to combat plaque, tartar, and bad breath.2 Oral care is a key component of your dog’s wellbeing, and ORAVET chews help ensure that your pet is getting the oral care they need, day after day.
4. A dual-action design to clean and protect.
When your dog bites into an ORAVET chew, the chewing action removes plaque on the teeth all the way down to the gumline. As this occurs, delmopinol is released and coats the teeth to help prevent bacterial attachment.
Samples are available at the clinic. We also keep the 30 count bags in stock. Pick yours up today!

With tomorrow being the beginning of the month, don't think just because there was snow on the ground, you are safe to stop heartworm prevention!
Your preventative works by killing the larvae that have infected your dog during the PREVIOUS 30 days. Many people think it protects for the next 30 days, but it doesn't. If you are not consistent with your preventative, it is possible that some larvae may reach the stage which is not affected by the preventative.
Give us a call and we can get meds together for you to pick up or we can mail them to you!

I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the "mysterious upper respiratory infection" that has been spreading in the canine community across the US. And we have now had a few confirmed cases in the Quad Cities area.
As of November 21, our clinicians at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana and the Medical District Veterinary Clinic in Chicago had not seen an uptick in canine respiratory cases. The illness currently in the news has been reported in the northeast, southeast, Pacific northwest, and Colorado.
The symptoms mimic those of kennel cough or canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC), as respiratory signs including coughing, sneezing, eye and nose discharge, lethargy, decreased appetite, and fever may be evident.
While the exact mode of disease transmission remains unknown, since respiratory signs predominate and cases have been shown to spread quickly among dogs in a communal environment, direct and indirect contact (via spread of respiratory droplets in the air and on shared surfaces) are the presumed main drivers of transmission. Unlike the more common infections associated with kennel cough and CIRDC, these cases don’t respond to standard medical therapy, and can have a prolonged illness that can progress to pneumonia. Of these, some respond to antibiotic therapy, supportive therapy, and oxygen support, while other cases deteriorate rapidly.
Right now, we don’t know the true extent of illness or deaths because we don’t have sufficient data as the symptoms overlap with other causes of lung disease, and the presumed infectious agent (or agents) driving disease remains unknown. At this time, too few positive bacterial and viral samples have been collected nationally to clarify the lung pathology, and what leads some dogs to recover and others to succumb to the disease.
Based on the known modes of disease transmission with respiratory disease, the symptoms, and predominant affected patient population (dogs in close proximity to one another), a viral and/or bacterial agent is presumed. To strengthen our ability to identify the causative agents of disease, early diagnostic testing (including swabs of the throat, airway sampling) is encouraged. Empiric antibiotic therapy may lead to resistance to organisms that need to be identified to better educate us about the disease and mode of transmission, ultimately to help us better treat this disease.
What Do We Know Now about the Respiratory Disease?
Cases may spread quickly in a communal environment. Respiratory diseases spread through direct dog-to-dog contact and indirectly via respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, or contamination of shared surfaces. Therefore, owners of dogs that go to day care, dog training classes, dog parks, shelters, and boarding/grooming facilities should be mindful of the potential for disease transmission in areas where dogs are in close proximity. In addition, owners should remain informed about any cases of respiratory disease in these locations.
See your veterinarian. If a dog is experiencing respiratory signs, including coughing, sneezing, ocular/nasal discharge, fever, and decreased appetite, we suggest you consult with a veterinarian. Keep your dog isolated from other dogs to minimize the spread, especially as the details of this disease continue to emerge.
Get your dog vaccinated. Owners should be sure their dogs are up to date with vaccinations, including those that protect against Bordetella, Adenovirus 2, Parainfluenza, and the influenza H3N2 vaccine. Please avoid bringing a dog into the community until the immune system has had time to build immunity (approximately two weeks after vaccination). If owners have immunocompromised dogs (e.g., puppies that are not fully vaccinated and senior dogs with other health problems), they should be cautious about bringing them around other dogs.
Consider getting diagnostics done early. Because we don’t yet know the cause of the disease, it might be a good idea to get diagnostic testing done when the symptoms first arise, before starting therapy. That’s because once treatment begins and the immune response kicks in, diagnostic tests (e.g., PCR, airway culture, viral isolation) may not be able to detect the virus or bacterium that caused the symptoms.

Did you know our CVT, Kaylie, is certified in shockwave therapy?
Here is Roman getting a treatment for a partial CCL (ACL in people) tear. Surgery wasn't an option for Roman but his mom wanted him to get better, so Dr. Keller suggested Shockwave therapy. Along with a joint supplement and pain meds, Roman has now received 3 treatments and is feeling much better.
What is shockwave?
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a noninvasive modality (extracorporeal means “outside the body”) that uses high pressure sound waves to stimulate healing in wounds, ligaments, tendons and bony structures.

Does your Pet have Osteoarthritis? Do you know how to tell for OA in your pet? What can you do to make your pet feel better?
We are excited to announce we are now carrying two new products made specifically for OA in cats and dogs. What we really like about these new injections is they are metabolized and eliminated like naturally occurring antibodies, with minimal involvement of the liver or kidneys. What that means is great pain management without the possibility of severe side effects (like how NSAIDS can cause liver damage).
Librela is the first and only monthly monoclonal antibody injection to provide long-term canine OA pain control
🐶Effectively controls canine OA pain with a monthly injection
🐶Approved as safe and is metabolized and eliminated like naturally occurring antibodies, with minimal involvement of the liver or kidneys
🐶Works differently than NSAIDs by reducing NGF effects, a key factor in canine OA pain
🐶Reduced canine OA pain, which led to increased activity and improved quality of life
*Results from clinical studies conducted in the US and EU.9,10
NGF=nerve growth factor; NSAID=nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
Solensia is the once-monthly monoclonal antibody therapy, for the control of feline osteoarthritis (OA) pain
🐱77% of cat owners reported improvement in signs of pain when their cats were treated monthly with Solensia in a 3-month study.
🐱Controls the pain of OA in cats, helping to improve their mobility, comfort and well-being
🐱Solensia was found to be well tolerated in field studies that included cats identified as IRIS stage 1 or 2

Good morning WVS friends!
We have had many dogs and horses test positive for Lyme disease over the past few weeks. So we want to know, have you heard or Lyme disease? Do you know how it's spread? Did you know our heartworm check also checks for Lyme disease and 2 other tick disease?
What causes Lyme disease?
Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The bacteria are transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, such as deer ticks.
What are the symptoms of Lyme disease?
Dogs can display several forms of Lyme disease, but the most common symptoms are lameness, swollen lymph nodes, joint swelling, fatigue, and loss of appetite. In addition, serious kidney complications have been associated with Lyme disease in dogs.
Clinical signs of Lyme disease in horses include shifting-leg lameness, generalized stiffness, hypersensitivity to touch, weight loss, and poor performance. Sometimes, the bacteria can infect the central nervous system, leading to neurologic symptoms.
Lyme disease is treatable with antibiotics. Sometimes it may need a 2nd round of treatment, but it is treatable if caught early.
Tick control and prevention methods significantly reduce the likelihood of infection. Maintaining antibodies against B. burgdorferi through vaccination can further protect your animal. Antibody amounts and duration of vaccine antibodies can vary in individuals
