Some animals are known to form strong bonds with one another. When cats form this bond, they are known as bonded cats. Today’s appreciation post goes out to these two sets of sweet bonded brothers - Smokey & Flame, and Tubby & Bonkers. Bonded cats bring just as much love to your family as a single cat does. It just means they have a little friend or “sibling” who loves them on a different level 😸💜🐾

This little guy was brought in by his owners because he was as losing all of his hair and extremely itchy and uncomfortable (muzzle in first photo because he was a little grumpy with how he was feeling). Turns out he was suffering from sarcoptic mange, which is a highly contagious mite that burrows deep into the dogs’ skin causing intense itching. He most likely contracted this from the local foxes, which are known to carry the disease. Luckily for him, the treatment is a simple fix - monthly oral flea and tick prevention! Lots of people don’t know that oral flea and tick prevention prevents not only fleas and ticks, but can prevent and treat mange as well! The difference between the photos is after 4 months of this oral prevention, which in his case we used Nexgard PLUS. Nexgard PLUS prevents Heartworms, fleas, ticks, mange and some intestinal parasites all in one! If you live in an area densely populated area with wildlife like Great Falls, we recommend prevention all year round. Your pups will thank you for it!

It’s not everyday that you see a goat in a small animal clinic! One of Dr. Barker’s goats, Snackpack, was limping and needed X-rays so she brought him to work! He was fantastic for his X-rays and we are happy to report that nothing is fractured and he should heal with stall rest. ***Disclaimer: we do not normally see farm animals! Snackpack is just lucky his mom is a vet 😁*** 🐐

Cats need clean teeth too! Because daily brushing isn’t always an option, yearly dental cleanings are an important part of maintaining your pets overall health. A healthy mouth is a happy heart- and while she may not look it, Holly was definitely happy to be resting comfortably after a very big day 😻🐾

Harvey is a sweet Bernedoodle pup who suffered a fall when he was about 8 weeks old. This caused an injury to his growth plate, which caused his radius to stop growing, while the ulna continued to grow. Because of this, Harvery developed a limp. Our amazing, traveling orthopedic surgeon at Lazar Veterinary Surgery came to perform a procedure called an ulnar ostectomy. The images may look shocking, but the purpose of the surgery is to cut the ulna in order to allow the radius to catch up and fill the gap. Harvey did fantastic during surgery and is 6 weeks into recovery and doing great!

X-ray 1: Pre-surgery 3 months post injury.
X-ray 2: Directly after surgery (same day) showing a large gap between the radius and elbow.
X-ray 3: 6 weeks post op. You can see the ulna starting to regrow and the gap between the radius and the elbow beginning to close.

Every office needs a dance break, and Brandi did not disappoint today 😂 This little lady came in for an eye workup, but not every appointment has to be so serious. Sometimes all you need is a sweet little lady and some Looking Glass to get in the mood, and one very silly assistant to ask for a dance 💃 🐾

This week's patient of the week goes to...*drumroll please*...Missy! Missy, a fairfly fearful pup, came to us this week in need of sick visit. With the help of a mild and gentle sedative, Missy was able to relax throughout the whole appointment process, including x-rays! We are so proud of you, Missy! 🥰
