Seems one of our favourite patients got herself into a bit of trouble recently. The first two photos are mug shots provided by her family but the "real truth" can be seen in her 3rd and 4th photos! It's never worth it to tangle with the law, Fawkes!

Say hello and send healing vibes to Russell, a very sweet, very big and VERY busy young boy. On Saturday, Dr. Stephanie performed a TPLO to correct Russell's anterior cruciate ligament and meniscal injury. Although Russell is obviously not very fond of his sporty new collar, we hope he'll feel much happier with his "new" knee

It's that time of year again!

With the holidays close approaching we wanted to update you all on our hours this holiday season, as well as remind clients to be sure to call ahead if you will be running out of prescirptions or food when we are closed. Also be mindful that it can take longer for our orders to get here due to weather delays.

Have a warm, safe and happy holiday season from all of us at New Perth Animal Hopsital!

Not an uncommon condition, especially in dogs as they get a little older...

With Hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is not making enough of a hormone called thyroxine that controls metabolism (the process of turning food into fuel). Hypothyroidism causes a wide variety of symptoms, but is often suspected in dogs that have trouble with weight gain or obesity and suffer from hair loss and skin problems. The good news is this disease isn’t life-threatening, it’s easy to diagnose with a blood test, and it’s fairly easy and inexpensive to treat.

Autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common cause of primary hypothyroidism in dogs. The marker for autoimmune thyroiditis, thyroglobulin autoantibody formation, usually occurs prior to the occurrence of clinical signs. Therefore, periodic retesting is recommended.

Hello to all of our senior friends out there (especially the four legged ones but the two legged ones too ;) )

November is Senior Pet Month! Take this time to celebrate the dogs and cats who’ve been by our sides through every stage of life. 🐾

Senior pets now make up 44% of the pet population, and they deserve care that meets their changing needs with compassion and expertise.

The 2023 AAHA Senior Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats help veterinary teams create practices that don’t just accommodate senior pets but actively welcome them—with attention to medical care, behavioral needs, environmental comfort, and client communication.

Empower your team to be champions for senior pets. ❤️

These photos may not look dramatic but that really is the point of sharing them and "Maggie" and her owner graciously agreed to let us do so. On the left, you'll see what looks like a fairly insignificant amount of dental tartar on some of Maggie's teeth. Actually there was tartar on insides AND outsides of almost all of her teeth and this was the IDEAL time to have them cleaned, to prevent irreversible damage. If you're not sure if YOUR pet should have a dental prophylaxis, check with your veterinarian.🦷🥰🦷
