Motion-based nausea is an occasional complaint to vets. In fact, this is a hurdle for some owners presenting pets for medical or maintenance care. There isn’t a database with statistics related to the prevalence of these symptoms. There is, probably, greater than half of the time an underlying cause for pets vomiting in cars. These underlying issues are not typically dangerous as much as frustrating. Common remedies are available and generally considered effective. Please call us at (863) 251-5887 for more information or to book an appointment.

Cats are funny creatures. One minute they want their space, and the next, they want to cuddle up on your lap. (Or, they completely ignore you until it’s dinner time.) While it may sometimes seem like your cat couldn’t care less about you, they actually form bonds with us and become attached to us.

Ways to Protect the Bond With Your Cat
😺Limit Stress in the Home: Events that cause you to feel stressed (like moving, the holidays, a new baby, or a new pet) can cause your cat stress, too. Try to keep your cat’s routine as normal as possible and respect their need for attention or space.
😺Be Aware of Cat Illnesses: If your cat becomes ill or has a painful condition like osteoarthritis or dental disease, they may start to act differently, including shying away from you. If your cat is acting differently than normal, they may be in pain. Helping to manage their pain or illness can help them return to their normal selves, and help you rebuild the bond with your cat.
😺Keep Them Healthy: Bring them for their regular wellness check-ups with your veterinarian to help keep them healthy and parasite-free. Take steps to ensure a stress-free trip before you head to the vet.
😺Watch Out for Inappropriate Behavior: The bond between you and your cat can be strained if your cat is scratching things they shouldn’t or acting aggressively. Providing your cat ample scratching posts, lots of exercise, and respecting their boundaries can help them control their unwanted behavior.
😺Pay Attention if They’re Going Outside Their Litter Box: If your cat is peeing or pooping outside of their litter box, it can mean a medical problem, stress, or a problem with their litter box set up. Whatever the cause, it can certainly damage your bond with your cat. Be sure to provide them with ample litter boxes (the number of cats you have plus one) and take steps to decrease stress. If those steps don’t work, it’s time to talk with your veterinarian to see if there may be a medical reason.

If you detect a change in your cat’s “normal”, don’t hesitate to seek professional veterinary care.

🤔Hypothetical Question: My dog is shaking her head and scratching at its ears. Is there anything I can do?
👨🏻‍⚕️Advice: Ear disease due to any cause has three common clinical signs. You have already mentioned two of them. The third one is discomfort progressing to pain. The good news is that there is a treatable and correctable cause. The mainstay of treating ear disease is identifying the responsible agent using microscopic analysis. Second, in order for medication to be applied to the ear, exudates and waxy debris must be removed otherwise you would be medicating wax balls. A clean ear canal enhances chances of success when dealing with ear disease. Finally, video otoscopy has taken much of the guesswork out of my treatments and diagnosis of ear disease.

Did you know that just one bite from an infected mosquito could put your dog at risk for heartworm disease? An infected mosquito bites your dog and infects it with larvae. The heartworms mature inside your dog, living in blood vessels and the heart, and can cause permanent damage. Even indoor pets can become infected and get heartworm disease, so it's important to do everything you can to prevent it.

Topical Mosquito Repellants for Dogs and Cats
There are products available for dogs that repel mosquitoes (such as collars). However, just using a repellent alone will not prevent heartworm disease. To make sure your pet is protected from heartworm disease, ask your veterinarian to recommend a heartworm preventative.

Unfortunately, there are no safe prescription repellants for cats. Since there's also no treatment for heartworm disease in cats, it's very important to keep your cat on heartworm prevention and implement environmental controls to repel mosquitoes.

* Mosquito-repelling Yard Options
* Eliminate Stagnant Water
* Attract Mosquito-Eating Birds
* Attract Dragonflies
* Professional Outdoor Mosquito Control

Keeping mosquitoes away aids in the prevention of heartworm disease especially when combined with a heartworm preventative. Have a question about heartworm prevention? Give us a call at (863) 251-5887 to speak to our staff today!

Heartgard Plus is a beefy chewable that your pet takes once monthly to prevent heartworms and treat intestinal parasites. As one of the oldest preventions, it has proven to be a very trustworthy product, which is shown in Merial’s Heartgard Plus Guarantee. Merial states, “The Plus Guarantee remains in force only when you obtain Heartgard Plus from a licensed veterinarian with whom you have a valid doctor-owner-pet relationship. If you are not satisfied with the performance of Heartgard Plus against heartworms, hookworms, and/or roundworms, all or a portion of treatment costs may be covered.” That confidence and the ease of administration of the product makes Heartgard a very popular prevention.

Skin conditions are a common problem for dogs. Yeast infections are very itchy and can be one of the most frustrating skin problems for your dog. Do you know where and how your dog can develop a yeast infection and what to do about it?
Your dog’s skin normally has small amounts of yeast. If the skin produces an increased amount of oil, a yeast infection can occur. Allergic skin disease from environmental or food allergies is a common cause of excess oil production due to skin inflammation.
It’s important for your veterinarian to perform diagnostic tests to verify your dog has a yeast infection and identify the underlying cause. Otherwise, the risk of flare-ups will be likely in the future. The treatment for the yeast infection may include topical and/or oral anti-fungal medications. The severity of the condition will determine what medications are used and the length of time they’re needed.

🤔Hypothetical Question: My cat sneezes and coughs in fits and seems to struggle to breathe. He does this periodically and doesn't seem to have any other problems other than these episodes. Sometimes it worries me, should I bring him in?
👨🏻‍⚕️Advice: Your cat sounds like it may be affected by feline asthma. By itself, asthma is a manageable disease for cats. As in humans, there is no cure for it, but the severity of the life-threatening episodes can be controlled. The exact cause of asthma in cats is not known but the reason cats are susceptible is due to increased muscles in the walls of the bronchioles and higher numbers of mucus secreting cells. The muscles spasm and the muscles cells secrete and close off the smaller airways causing these fits, obviously, if enough airways are closed off then possibility for suffocation exists. Multiple medical managements are available.

As we enter the dog days of summer it's important to know the physical signs of dehydration in dogs

🐶Lethargy or decreased energy levels. They don't have the energy or desire to move around, which may result from lowered blood pressure from dehydration.
🐶Sticky gums. As your dog becomes dehydrated, their mouth loses its wetness.
🐶Panting excessively. Dogs pant when they are hot and may need more water.
🐶Acting confused, stumbling, or tripping.
If you notice any of these signs, take immediate action. Encourage your dog to drink cool, clean water and call your veterinarian for treatment recommendations.

The symptoms you may notice when your dog is moderately dehydrated may include the following:
🐶Loss of skin elasticity. Due to a lack of moisture, dehydrated skin does not return to its normal position quickly following the skin tent test.
🐶Loss of appetite. This can indicate other serious medical issues which can worsen dehydration.
🐶Dry gums. This is evident in the later stage of moderate dehydration. Veterinary care is essential if your dog's gums are very dry (progressing well beyond tacky).

Immediate veterinary care is needed if you notice any of these symptoms of severe dehydration:
🐶Vomiting. This occurs with severe dehydration and will make the dehydration worse.
🐶Diarrhea. This is another symptom that can actually make dehydration worse.
🐶Excessive panting. Your dog will appear to have difficulty breathing. You will notice their sides heaving and their tongue hanging out.
🐶Sunken, dry-looking eyes. Your dog's body will redistribute fluids to more essential organs to ensure adequate blood flow. The eyes are one location fluids are pulled from. They will appear to be sitting farther back in the eye socket.
🐶Increased heart rate. A dog's normal heart rate is 70–120 beats per minute (toy/small breed dogs can handle a slightly higher rate). When they are dehydrated, their heart rate increases for more than 30 seconds. A sustained heart rate greater than 160 beats per minute means you must seek immediate veterinary care.
🐶Acting confused or disoriented.
🐶Extremely dry, dark red, or pale gums. This results from low blood volume and the passage of blood through the capillaries. The body may also try to cool itself by increasing blood flow to the limbs.
🐶Collapse. This occurs due to shock when your dog's circulatory system fails, and essential organs do not receive sufficient oxygen.

It sounds scary, because it can be, but if you're familiar with the early signs of mild dehydration, you can catch and address it quickly before things become serious.

The right food choice for your dog can be very simple. If your dog likes the food and eats the correct measured amount on a daily basis, this may be an easy first criterion. He or she may like ice cream, a tablespoon, say but likely will not tolerate this over time. So, a good choice is they like it and their body tolerates it, especially over time. A third criterion is that the food choice is readily available and easily accessible. If you run out of food on a Sunday afternoon, can you easily get more?
Of course, there are “prescription” diets that have a generally intended benefit to a specific disease process and many of those have tons of studies and factual science behind them. Consult our vet care team by calling us at (863) 251-5887 to see if one might be right for your pet.

Have you noticed your dog paying a lot of attention to a spot on their body? Are they licking, scratching, or chewing on one area? If so, this may lead to a hot spot. While hot spots are very common, it’s important to identify, diagnose and treat them quickly before they get worse.
Hot spots (also called acute moist dermatitis or pyotraumatic dermatitis) are usually caused by your dog over-licking, scratching or biting their skin. This leads to the skin becoming damaged. Bacterial infections can develop quickly once bacteria invade the area of damaged skin. You need to find and treat the resulting hot spot and whatever caused your dog to focus their grooming attention on that area in the first place.
The good news is that most hot spots will resolve in under a week with proper and prompt care. Get to your veterinarian quickly so you can stop the progression of the hot spot and ease your dog’s discomfort. They’ll perform a physical exam, and other diagnostic tests like cytology and a skin scrape to identify the underlying cause of the irritation. Once the reason for the hot spot has been identified, your dog will be started on an appropriate, individualized treatment plan.
Treatment of the hot spot itself generally includes shaving, cleaning, and disinfecting the area (with topical treatments). Your vet will instruct you to give topical or oral antibiotics, topical or oral medications to control the itch and relieve inflammation, and keep the area clean. You will also need to put your dog in an Elizabethan collar to keep your dog from licking/chewing/biting at the affected area as the skin heals.

🤔Hypothetical Question: I keep seeing little whitish rice things in my dogs stool. Now my other dog has them too. Do you have any idea what this could be?
👨🏻‍⚕️Advice: You are seeing tapeworm segments. Dogs and cats get tapeworm from eating fleas. Adult tapeworms live attached to the lining of the small intestines and can be 6 or more inches long. The adult worm grows and produces tail segments which contain eggs. Segments are passed in the stool and immature fleas indiscriminately eat the worms eggs. When the flea matures and is swallowed by your pet, its body is digested away - freeing the young worm. From ingestion of the flea to when segments appear in stool in 3 weeks. Control fleas and you can control tapeworms.

Whether they’re indoor-only, outdoor, or a combo of both, cats are at risk of catching some nasty diseases. Vaccines can help by stimulating your cat’s immune system to produce antibodies against preventable diseases, so they don’t needlessly suffer or pass those diseases on to other cats.
These vaccines are recommended for all cats based on their risk of exposure, the severity of the disease to be prevented, and the risk the disease poses to humans.
🐱Feline viral rhinotracheitis: This is a herpesvirus that causes upper respiratory infections or pulmonary infections in cats. This goes far beyond a cat cold, since once a cat is infected, they are infected for life. The disease can be dormant in the cat’s system — but due to stress or other illnesses, it may be reactivated, at which time signs of disease will be more noticeable. It’s highly contagious and can cause death due to pneumonia in kittens and immunocompromised adult cats. Mild cases can be treated at home, but severe cases can last for weeks, require hospitalization, lead to loss of vision, or become a chronic disease with stress.
🐱Feline calicivirus: This is a highly contagious virus that causes upper respiratory infections in cats as well as oral disease (inflammation and ulcers on the tongue and gums). Some strains can cause painful lameness in the cat’s legs as well. Cats can become re-infected with this virus, so prevention is the key to keeping cats well.
🐱Feline panleukopenia: Also called feline parvo or feline distemper, this is a highly contagious virus caused by the feline parvovirus that invades and can kill rapidly by dividing cells in a cat’s bone marrow and intestines. The disease, which used to be the leading killer of cats, is now uncommon due to the highly effective vaccine. This is an important reason to continue vaccinating against it throughout your cat’s life.
🐱 Feline leukemia virus: FeLV is a retrovirus that weakens a cat’s immune system, meaning it changes the DNA of a cat’s cells, making them vulnerable to other diseases that can result in death. It’s transferred between cats through saliva or nasal secretions. Cats infected with FeLV may develop infections and cancer.
🐱 Rabies: Likely the most recognized on the list, rabies is a preventable viral disease that infects the central nervous system when a mammal is bitten by a rabid animal. The disease can infect any mammal, but it is most notable in raccoons, foxes, bats, and skunks. Cats (indoor and outdoor) can become infected when they have been bitten or encountered the saliva of an infected animal. The ultimate result is death. This disease can be transferred to humans, and pet vaccination is mandated by law in some states.

Flea season! Well, it never really went away to be clear. Fleas can proliferate and exist in Florida’s climate year round. The little beasties have an extremely long history, and thus far, the human race has not managed to eradicate them. Current estimates suggest that 33% of all dogs and cats have an intense allergic reaction to one single flea bite. Scooting bottoms, licking about the tail and a**s, gnawing at the groin are reasonable suggestions that flea allergy is at play with your pet. Thankfully there are some decent oral medicines that are made this century to help reduce your pet's exposures.

Did you know that removing a tick the wrong way can cause problems for your dog? If you see a tick on your pet, it’s important to keep your cool, grab the appropriate tools, and remove it the correct way.
Ticks carry organisms that can cause serious illness (and even death) in dogs.

The way you remove the tick matters. As unpleasant as it sounds, squishing the tick's body can cause it to regurgitate those risky bugs and bacteria into your dog's bloodstream, putting them at further risk of infection.

Keeping your dog on year-round flea, tick, and heartworm protection is your first and best line of defense against ticks and the diseases they carry. Even if your dog is mostly indoors, they can still be exposed to ticks brought in by people and things that have been outside. There are also vaccines available for diseases such as Lyme disease. Talk with your veterinarian about the appropriate preventative for your dog and their lifestyle.

If you have questions or are uncomfortable, we can help with tick removal and any tick removal questions.

🤔Why should I have my dog vaccinated every single year?
👨🏻‍⚕️The reason dogs and cats are vaccinated every year is to re-stimulate their immune system to certain diseases. There is evidence that there is immunity from last year, measured as a titer, still circulated in the bloodstream but there is no definite proof that this immunity is still functional. Which simply means protection from specific diseases is not as secure as when we booster. The diseases that our dogs are typically vaccinated against are, in the least, severely debilitating if not deadly. As we have seen with the reoccurrence of smallpox and measles in people, we recognize that certain diseases are able to have outbreaks and pose serious medical problems. As in any vaccination protocol, the decision to give a booster is made with a risk-reward point of view. For example, three-year rabies is for the infrequently exposed pet like the house cat.

🌿How to Treat Poison Ivy on Dogs🌿
If you think your dog has been exposed to poison ivy, you should give them a bath as soon as possible. Be careful handling them and be sure to wear gloves. The oils left on the fur can be transferred to you, resulting in your own miserable, itchy rash.

If you notice the symptoms above associated with skin contact, it’s best to have your dog evaluated by a veterinarian. Since it’s uncommon for dogs to get poison ivy, they may have a different underlying medical condition, such as skin mites, allergies, or another type of contact dermatitis that causes similar symptoms.

Eyes have a limited reaction pattern to problems or conditions. Luckily many eye issues and diseases can be well defined by simple tests.
There is a battery of tests that define the standard of care for ophthalmic issues. A fluorescein stain, Schirmer tear test, and tonometry can establish a thorough diagnosis and treatment plans.
Each test is an important measure of corneal health, ocular pressure and effective tear film. For any "red' eye" this should be any veterinarians minimum database for diagnostics.
The common eye issues are corneal ulcer/abrasion, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eyes), and glaucoma.

Getting kids involved in the tasks that meet your pet’s daily needs is the perfect opportunity for them to learn responsibility and develop confidence. Here are a few ways that kids can help with caring for the dogs and cats in your family.

⭐Feeding⭐
Kids of just about any age can help with preparing food, filling bowls, and stuffing treat toys and puzzles. These are simple tasks that can even be done safely away from the pet, if needed. For example, if you have a large, hungry dog and a small child, put the dog in another room until the food bowl is filled and in place. Feeding your dog or cat specific amounts of food at a scheduled time is a simple and effective way for a child to participate and to learn the importance of a dedicated pet owner in one of the most important parts of pet care.
⭐Water⭐
All pets need constant access to fresh, clean water. Monitoring and topping off water bowls is another easy job that kids of all ages can take on. As with feeding, consider filling water stations at specific times each day to make it even easier for the kids to remember. If your veterinarian has asked you to keep an eye on your pet’s water intake, consider having your child help by measuring and keeping a record.
⭐Grooming⭐
Dogs and cats need regular hair coat brushing, nail trimming, and even tooth brushing. A few times a week, have the kids give your pets a good brushing of their fur to help with shedding and distributing healthy oils through the coat. Nail trimming and brushing teeth might be too advanced for many children, but having the kids lend a hand while you’re doing these trickier jobs is a great way to make sure they understand the amount of care that goes into keeping a pet clean and comfortable. Your child can offer your pets rewards like treats and praise to keep the experience positive for all involved.
⭐Litter Boxes, P*e Pads, and Other Elimination Areas⭐
While not the most enjoyable part of pet ownership for adults or children, cleaning up waste and keeping elimination areas clean is very important and your child can help where appropriate. Be sure to show them how to properly wash their hands after handling litter box items and other soiled materials as well as how to safely dispose of waste.

🤔Hypothetical Question: I have a one-and-a-half-year dog that is vomiting and has diarrhea. Can I wait until next week to bring her in?
👨🏻‍⚕️Advice: No. In general, if your pet is not feeling well and is vomiting or has diarrhea, she should see a veterinarian. Vomiting and diarrhea are associated with a host of problems and the combination is collectively called gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis can be a result of something as simple as dietary indiscretion or cause serious fluid losses and electrolyte imbalances – dehydration. If prolonged, it can lead to shock, which will ultimately involve the entire cardiovascular system and if untreated will result in the death of your pet.

Addison’s disease is a hormone-based disease stemming from poor or low adrenal function. The adrenal gland is responsible for a myriad of hormones and when that reserve is low, a condition called hypoadrenocorticism exists. There are 2 broad categories of this condition. Acute and chronic. The acute version is nearly always an emergency and hard to misdiagnose. The chronic version has the tendency to be diagnosed by the exclusion of other disease processes. Often times piecing together historical events like 2017 had vomiting and diarrhea of unknown origin and twice-yearly has been treated for itchiness with steroids would be interesting, though not definitive, ways to open a discussion for definitive testing. Any veterinarian ought to be able to discuss, at length, to your liking, the intent, and the results of ACTH testing.

🤔Hypothetical Question: Does it matter what I feed my pets?
👨🏻‍⚕️Advice: Yes, if you consider your dog or cat from three points of view: genetics, environment and nutrition. First consider their individual genetics. You cannot control genetically preprogrammed diseases from appearing- you may detect them early and slow the progression. Next consider that you can control their environment to a degree that in the sense that you provide shelter food and water and hopefully vaccination against deadly diseases. Finally, you can absolutely control what goes into an animal's mouth both in terms of quality and quantity.

Heartworm preventions are considered basic at-home preventative and maintenance care for dogs whose owners live in states where mosquitoes also live. What is occasionally overlooked is that these monthly preventions also serve to prevent intestinal worms.
Imagine this: Doug, lovely pup, goes for a walk and steps in grass, then later he casually grooms paws because he is a fastidious type. His casual grooming leads to the ingestion of microscopic worm eggs. Those worm eggs are tough, resilient, and proliferative and they begin to change into adult forms. This developmental period is where many heartworm preventions act - preventing the adult forms from making an impact of our dogs.
Note: Roundworm eggs can live in soil up to 11 years, Hookworms can be maintained in soil for 3-5 yrs. These are not the only culprits dogs face but definitely are more common.

🤔My new puppy seems difficult to house train. What can I do?
👨🏻‍⚕️Critical to your success in house training a puppy is constant throughout the day and over several months. Puppies can be easily trained if given a schedule for success. This means that they go out at the same times every day of the week. If you like to sleep in on the weekends, then for the next several weeks you must give this up. As your puppy ages, he will be able to hold his urine for a little longer each week, 8 hours at 12 weeks of age. Another area to address is feeding schedules. Offer food at fixed times and expect young puppies to need to go potty 1-45 minutes after eating. When your puppy does use the bathroom outside, then praise them lavishly.

👨🏻‍⚕️ Many times, I am asked how often should I bathe my dog?
The answer lies in the coat and lifestyle of the pet. The super fluffy, double-coated, armchair residing Pomeranian who has never seen a bramble nor blade of grass has a very dense coat, and in health, is not an oily skinned breed. They might only need to be bathed every now and again just to be perfumed rather than cleansed. The short haired, sleek-coated, gregarious dog park champion, who rolls thrice daily in the dirt is safe to bathe daily. Be sure not to use human products, as they're too drying for the dog, and be sure to keep it out of their eyes.
