🌊 🦠 Algae Can Be Dangerous for Pets 🐾

A day at the lake can change quickly. Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) can be harmful and potentially deadly to pets, especially if they drink contaminated water or lick it from their fur after swimming.

Watch for water that looks green, cloudy, foamy, scummy, or has algae collecting along the shoreline. If you arrive at the beach and see anything suspicious, keep your pet out of the water.

⚠️ Signs of possible exposure can include:

* Vomiting or diarrhea
* Excessive drooling or foaming
* Weakness, wobbliness, or collapse
* Tremors or seizures
* Severe illness that can progress rapidly

If you think your pet may have been exposed, rinse them thoroughly with clean water, prevent them from licking their coat, and contact a veterinarian right away if they show signs of illness.

Manitoba publishes recreational water and beach monitoring information online, but remember that algae conditions can change between inspections and reports. What you see when you arrive matters. If the water looks questionable, skip the swim—even if the most recent online information says the beach is okay.

When in doubt, keep those paws on shore 💙

A Fond Farewell & A Warm Welcome ⭐

Veterinary medicine is a profession built on growth, new opportunities, and exciting new chapters. While it's never easy to say goodbye to valued colleagues, it's also an opportunity to welcome new faces and continue providing the compassionate care our community has come to know and trust.

After his time with us at Clearspring Animal Hospital, Dr. Baath will be leaving to begin an exciting new adventure in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. His final day seeing patients at Clearspring will be Saturday, August 8th.

We are incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and dedication he has shown to our patients and their families during his time with us. Please join us in thanking Dr. Baath for everything he has contributed and wishing him every success as he begins this next chapter. We know he'll do amazing things, and he'll always be part of the Clearspring Animal Hospital family. 💙

As we wish Dr. Baath all the best, we're also excited to share that, during St. Vital Veterinary Hospital's temporary closure, Dr. Dawn Williams will be seeing patients at Clearspring Animal Hospital beginning Tuesday, August 4.

Dr. Williams graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1995 and began her career practicing small animal medicine in Thompson, Manitoba. In 1998, she returned to Winnipeg, where she has spent more than 27 years providing compassionate care to generations of pets and their families at St. Vital Veterinary Hospital.

Along with her wealth of experience, Dr. Williams is also Fear Free Certified, reflecting her commitment to creating a calmer, less stressful veterinary experience for every pet she sees.

We're delighted to welcome Dr. Williams and know our patients—and their families—will appreciate her compassionate approach and exceptional experience. Please join us in giving her a warm Clearspring welcome! ❤️🐶🐱

We're thrilled to be part of this little guy's journey! 💙

Now let's name him before Dr. Gaw gets attached and starts asking if there's an employee discount on adoptions... 😅🐾

Thanks for including us Steinbach & Area Animal Rescue Inc. 🙃
