How adorable is this little bundle of cuteness? His parents are first time puppy owners, and today we discussed the importance of large breed puppy food.
Large breed puppy food is extremely important for pets who are going to be over 50lb. Here are some differences between large breed and regular puppy food.
🦴 Large breed puppy food is less calorically dense. It is important to provide them with enough calories to grow, but we don’t want them to grow too fast. Growing slowly allows joints, bones and cartilage to develop normally.
🦴 These diets contain omega-3 fatty acids that help with joint, brain and vision development.
🦴 Calcium and phosphorus regulation is extremely important, too much can cause damage to bone development.
🦴 High-quality protein, carbs, and fat will give the puppies the energy and nutrition needed for healthy muscle growth.

This kitty came to see me Monday because he was not using his right front leg. His leg was swollen and very painful. After an exam and x-rays we determined he broke both bones in his leg! 😳

Thanks to the dedication of his owners, he was taken to LRVSS surgical center yesterday, where Dr. Pete Baia performed surgery to plate the radius!

Stay tuned for updates on this baby!

🐀 Most rats only live 2-3.5 years, but I just met Snowflake who is…. *drum roll 🥁*…. 5 years old! Her family has had her since she was 8 weeks! She is the oldest rat that I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Can you guess what the world record for the oldest rat is? 🐀❤️

🦟 This is Peanut. He came to see be after being diagnosed with heartworm disease. Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease transmitted by mosquitos.

♥️ When an infected mosquito bites a dog, cat, or ferret, the baby worms are injected into the blood stream and grow into worms within the heart.

🐾 Some pets may not show any signs of heartworm disease during the early stages, but as the adult worms grow you may see coughing, decreased exercise, exhaustion, weight loss, decreased appetite, and even heart failure.

🩸 A blood test can be performed to test for heartworm disease by looking for female heartworm antigens. If the pet tests positive, a confirmatory test is sent out to the lab to search for baby heartworms.

🐾 Once diagnosed and when treatment is started, the pet must be placed in a confined area so they cannot run, jump, or exercise. To treat heartworm a heartworm prevention is started to kill the baby heartworm, and a series of immiticide injections kill the adult worms. If part of the heartworms breaks off it can act as a clot, leading to life threatening consequences.

♥️ This disease can be fatal and the treatment can be fatal, so disease prevention is crucial to keeping your pets healthy!

Peanut is doing very well and just finished his series of immiticide injections and is on the road to recovery‼️

For those of you who travel internationally, I want to update you on some important information, since the USDA will change their requirements on August 1st. This includes pets traveling to Canada, Mexico and overseas!

✈️ A USDA-accredited veterinarian, or a doctor in the same practice as the accredited veterinarian, must administer the rabies vaccine at least 28 days prior to travel. This means that if your pet is up-to-date on their rabies vaccine, but your veterinarian is not USDA-accredited, then you will not be able to leave the country. Your pet will need another rabies vaccine given by a USDA-accredited veterinarian.
✈️ An ISO compliant microchip must be implanted into the pet prior to the rabies vaccine.
✈️ Dogs under 6 months will no longer be allowed to travel into the country.

If you are planning on traveling outside the US with your pets, please make sure you contact your USDA-accredited veterinarian early! Otherwise, you may not be able to travel with your pets!

Today is . Zoonotic diseases are diseases that are transmitted from animals to people.

Please be cautious when coming in contact with wild animals as they can transmit diseases.

Also, please keep your pets on heartworm prevention. Heartworm prevention will deworm against intestinal parasites that people can get too!!

💥 As the Fourth of July approaches, please be mindful of how your pets and your neighbors’ pets may react to the sound and sight of fireworks.
🧨 If your pet is microchipped please make sure all of your contact information is updated, just in case something happens!
💥Here are a few things you can do to help your baby feel more secure!

How cool is this dog?! 😱 Molly came in to see me yesterday and she arrived in quite possibly the coolest way I’ve ever seen. She loves to ride on the motorcycle with her owner and has been all over the country with him! 🏍️🐾

Sometimes, you just have to enjoy the ride!! 😎

🥵 PSA!! As summer approaches and the weather gets hotter, please be mindful of your pets’ paws. Below is a chart showing how hot asphalt can become in the summer! Pets can burn their paws, which is extremely painful! Please make sure to walk your pet in grassy, shaded areas and during cooler times of the day.

☀️ When in doubt try walking on the asphalt barefoot, and if it is to hot for you then it is to hot for your pets!

Happy Father’s Day everyone!! Hope you had a wonderful and relaxing day. You all deserve it!

🐈‍⬛ Mischief's family brought him into my office when they noticed he was not putting any pressure on his left hind leg. To determine the cause of his limping, we took some radiographs.

🐈‍⬛ As you can see below he has broken multiple toes 😢 This little baby will need to be in a splint for at least 4-6 weeks while his bones heal. Luckily for Mischief, kittens heal very quickly!

🐈‍⬛ How many fractures do you see?

🪴 While gardening, my Doberman, C**t, found this poor little guy wet and cold. Please watch out for wildlife this time of year. If you find a baby or injured animal, please call a wildlife rehab center and they can help you!
🐭 This little guy has a long road ahead of him but hopefully I will be able to release him once he is warmed up!

🐇 This adorable baby came to see me for her exam. During her physical exam, I noticed crusts way down in her ear canals. These crusts were due to ear mites. Ear mites in rabbits are different than in a dog and cat.
🐰 In dogs and cats ear mites appear as a coffee ground material, which can be easily removed. In rabbits the material is very dry and adhered to the ear canal, making it more difficult to remove.
🐇 Luckily, ear mites can be treated with topical medications!
If you have a bunny check there ears regularly and if you notice any crusting please bring them to the vet for an exam.

This poor baby came to me because he got a little to close to a porcupine 😢. Porcupine quills can be very difficult and painful to remove because they have barbs on the ends. They can also migrate, making them difficult to find.

This baby was sedated, and about 30 quills were removed. 😯

Now is the time of year where porcupines are more active. Please keep your dogs on a leash when walking through the woods. We don’t want them to have any unwanted encounters.
