Isn't He Handsome!!

This is "Spencer" a golden retriever. What a handsome boy!!

Stones

Here are 2 interesting X-rays of stones.....

These stones were flushed out by a Cystoscope. This a non-invasive procedure done here in our clinic. You can actually see the other stones following the urethra from the bladder.

Unfortunately, not all stones can be removed as easily. Some need to be surgically removed because of their size. This stone was found in a very nice little poodle.

It was about 2.5 cm in diameter. Oouch!

Heartworm Season!

Heartworm season is once again upon us. Studies have shown that not only does your dog need preventatives against heartworm, but your cats need them as well. You may think just because your pet lives indoors it doesn't need a preventative. This is untrue, mosquito's come into your house and endanger your pets. Mosquito's are intermediate hosts of heartworm larvae. This means the heartworm needs the mosquito to move from one host to the next.

Heartworm disease if not treated can be deadly. The adult worms clog the heart and obstruct the lungs.
To help keep you pets safe this season keep them on year-round preventatives.
To find out more information about Heartworm preventatives, don't hesitate to ask our well informed staff, and veterinarians.

Summer Tips for you and your Pets.

Summer is almost here, time for the SPF, and beach days to keep us cool. Our furry little friends need help staying cool this summer too. On these warm summer days pets have a harder time cooling off. Dogs can cool down with the help of their sweat glands on the pads of their feet or panting, but if put into the wrong situation it could turn deadly.

This summer, owners should take precautions against the danger of heat exhaustion and heatstroke of their pets.


- Leaving your pet in a parked car can be a deadly mistake. The temperature inside a car can reach 120 degrees in a few minutes. Even partially opened windows won't protect your pet from heatstroke.

If you see a dog in a car and in distress, take down the car's color, model, make, and license-plate #, have the owner paged inside nearby stores, and call local humane authorities or police.

-Exercise your dog in the morning or evening when temperatures and pavement are cool.

- If your pet is outside during the day, remember to provide protection from the sun, plenty of fresh water and if possible provide a nice wading pool to aid in cooling. Remember the older, short muzzle and over weight dogs are more likely to overheat during hot weather.

- Keep your dog properly groomed. Dogs with longer hair are more susceptible to heat stroke and other hot weather problems.

- Pets indoors should also have cool water throughout the day. Remove insulating bedding from dog crate or bed, such as blankets or pillows. Keep a fan or air conditioner on if the area is likely to heat up during the day. Pull blinds or shades over areas where direct sunlight enters to keep your home cool.

Have a safe and healthy summer!
