Did you know that the phrase: “dog days of summer” isn’t actually about dogs?🧐🧐🧐

The phrase actually comes from ancient times, when people linked the hottest days of the year to the rise of Sirius (the Dog Star) in the sky!🌟💫🐶🌠

✨Our “Vettiquette” Tip of the Week is about Lyme disease✨

For the final instalment about Lyme disease, we’re going to discuss how to help prevent it!💪🏼

✅ Tick Prevention: a veterinary-recommended tick preventative can kill ticks quickly (before they can transmit the bacteria, which takes 24-48 hours)
✨even dogs who only go in a backyard are at risk, especially in the warmer months!✨
✅Annual Testing: testing each spring helps catch infections (90-95% of dogs with Lyme show no symptoms early on!)
✅ Vaccines: For dogs in high-risks areas (like Port Franks or Grand Bend), the Lyme vaccine offers extra protection.

Did you know that August is Bat Nesting Season?🦇

Bats are more active at this time of year and another bat has recently tested positive for rabies in our area⚠️

Some Facts About Bats:
• bats often nest in trees, attics and barns
• rabies can be transmitted through bites or scratches
• while most bats are harmless, you should never touch one, even if it looks sick or dead

Safety Tips for Pet Owners:
✅ keep pets indoors at dusk and overnight
✅ don’t let pets sniff or play with bats
✅ seal up any holes in attics or sheds
✅ ✨make sure your pets are up to date on their rabies vaccines✨
✅ call animal control if you find a bat in your home or yard

✨Our “Vettiquette” Tip of the Week is about Lyme disease✨

📍Last week we discussed symptoms to watch out for with Lyme disease!🦠

This week, we’re following up with how we test for Lyme disease!🧪

🦠Each spring when we run your dog’s annual heartworm test, we also screen for Lyme disease and two other common tick-borne illnesses (all in one blood test!!)
🦠If your dog’s tests positive, we may recommend following up with other testing, like a Quant C6 antibody test or in-house diagnostics (urinalysis, other bloodwork) to assess things like kidney function and cell health.

💡What happens if my dog tests positive?
If your pup shows symptoms or changes in their lab work, treatment is available. Typically, treatment would be a course of antibotics lasting a month or more. But, once infected, flare ups can happen down the line.

✨Long term monitoring is key to keeping your dog healthy and happy✨

😻As for our feline friends, cats rarely get Lyme disease, however they are still at risks for ticks! This is why tick prevention is still important for cats!
