🐾 Our brave patient Huxley came in this week for X-rays after his family noticed he was limping. 💛

Limping might seem minor, but it can be a sign of pain, injury, or even something more serious. That's why it's so important to have your pet checked by a veterinarian if you notice any changes in how they walk or move. Early diagnosis can make all the difference in your pet's comfort and recovery! 🩺✨

We’re wishing Huxley a speedy recovery and lots of love from all of us here at Elora Gorge Animal Hospital. 💚

📞 If you ever notice limping or unusual movement in your pet, don’t wait—give us a call!

Hot Days Can Be Deadly – Never Leave Your Pet in the Car! ☀️🌡

Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to dangerous levels in just minutes. Cracking a window doesn't help—your pet can suffer from heatstroke, irreversible organ damage, or worse.

If you love them, leave them at home where it’s safe and cool. 🐾

If you see a pet alone in a hot car, act fast:

• Call local authorities 📞

• Stay nearby and try to locate the owner

🐶 Why It’s So Important to Keep Your Pet on a Leash or in a Carrier at the Vet 🐱

A vet clinic can be a stressful place for animals—unfamiliar smells, strange sounds, and lots of other pets. Even the calmest dog or cat can get scared, excited, or reactive. That’s why keeping your pet on a leash or in a secure carrier isn’t just a courtesy—it’s essential for safety.

Here’s why:

• Protect your pet from unexpected interactions with other animals.

• Prevent accidents or escapes in busy waiting rooms or parking lots.

• Reduce stress by giving your pet a safe, controlled space.

• Help the vet team provide care more efficiently and safely.

Whether you're just stopping in for a check-up or an emergency visit, always arrive with your pet secured—it shows love, responsibility, and respect for everyone’s safety.

Let’s keep all our furry friends safe and stress-free! ❤️

🌡 Warmer Weather = More Ticks & Fleas! ☀️

As temperatures rise, so does the risk of tick and flea infestations for your pets. These tiny pests can cause serious health issues like Lyme disease, skin infections, and even tapeworms.

Protect your furry friend: 🐶🐱

• Stay consistent with flea/tick prevention medication

• Check your pet after walks or outdoor play

• Keep your yard trimmed and clean

Ask your vet about the best products for your pet’s lifestyle 👩‍⚕️

Let’s keep your pets happy, healthy, and itch-free this season!
