A Story of Resilience and Hope from Carriacou Animal Hospital ️

Dear Supporters,

On July 1, 2024, the beautiful island of Carriacou was devastated by the catastrophic Hurricane Beryl. Amidst the destruction, Team Carriacou Animal Hospital stood strong, ensuring the safety of all our beloved residents and patients. Since then, we have been tirelessly distributing FREE dog and cat food, tick and flea treatment, and heartworm prevention, while providing vital veterinary services to all in need, mostly injured pets. ❤️

Despite our benevolent efforts to find a solution, our landlords refused all offers to rebuild the facility. This disregard forced us into a heart-wrenching decision. On Saturday, we had no choice but to decide to leave our home of 12 years. Yesterday, Tuesday, July 30th, we officially left our cherished location. It was a sad day, but also a new beginning. We cherish the memories, but look forward to creating new ones.

Carriacou Animal Hospital is not just a location; it is an organization and a spirit dedicated to providing top-notch veterinary care to the island's companion animals. We WILL find a new location and rebuild bigger and better than ever.

In the interim, we are committed to reaching out to each and every community. We understand the challenges people face in getting around right now. ️ We have a temporary surgery facility already in action and will continue to offer ALL the services we have provided in the past, just in a different way. Our first outreach clinic is today already in Windward.

Thank you to all of you who have donated so far. Your support means more to us now than ever before. Please share our story with your friends and loved ones.

Together, we will rise from this stronger and more united. Thank you for standing by us. ✨

Thank you from the Carriacou Animal Hospital

SHARE...!!

Ouch! The x-ray on the left is of a foxtail tract that was injected with contrast medium to show just how far a foxtail can travel. The lesion between the toes of the foot on the bottom right is how these tracts will look to the naked eye. This is a great example of just how far foxtails can migrate in tissues.
Thank you to Dr. Andrew Grange from Veterinary Surgical Centers in Berkeley for this amazing x-ray!

Share! Share! This post. These fox tails are very dangerous! 🐩🐶🐕

If you want to keep your dog's coat long and fluffy...

Exactly!

DOODLES! (And others)

The perfect photo to show how matting happens at the base (or at the skin). So many doodle owners are saddened to hear the only thing I can do with their pups coat is a shave because they thought brushing the top coat was enough. By looking at this dog, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but once it starts its very difficult/ impossible to brush/COMB out... Not to mention it would be cruel to put the dog through. A quick once over will not work for these guys if you want them in a fuzzy coat. You really need to sit down with a metal comb and make sure you can get it through the entire body a couple times a week.

Often times I feel like owners don't believe groomers when they say the dogs has to be clipped. I always hear "I know he/she is matted, but leave as much as you can"... this photo shows, the only way to get UNDER the matting is nothing left.
I promise you, I'd rather not clip your baby naked either! I also don't want to hurt my reputation when the clients go around complaining about how the last groomer "scalped" their dog....But doodles are easily one of the highest maintenance dogs in reference to their coats. The combination of the soft coat of a golden, or aussie, or newf, or wheaten, or whatever they are mixing poodles with these days is a coat that is SO prone to matting. And even more so are the new "double doodles" that i like to call "double maintenance".

I even find some doodles on a regular schedule still need to be clipped once or twice a year (maybe not shaved, but maybe teddy bear length for a fresh start) because after all of the brushing and de-matting, the damaged coat seems to become even MORE likely to matt.
If you like a fluffy pup, you probably need to consider no more than 3-5 week intervals between grooming AND set aside time for regular COMBING at home. A doodle grooming STARTS at $125 (with my service) so make sure you’ve set aside that budget.

Please know, if you bathe your doodle you really need to blow dry and brush out right after. MOISTURE of any kind; be it a bath, rain, swimming, snow etc are all going to amplify matting. And if you know your dog is already matted-- bathing is only going to make it worse! Brush out BEFORE the bath.

AND!!!!! "breeders" who say they can't/shouldnt be clipped and OR not to give them a hair cut until they are 1 year are out of their minds and setting you up for a SAD SAD SAD day when you finally take your pup to the groomer.

Yearly vaccinations are not necessary and may be harmful.

Several new studies have shown that immunity provided by some vaccines lasts for much longer than one year and in some cases for a lifetime.
