A good post and reminder from our friends at Onoway Veterinary Clinic.

🚨🛑🚨🛑🚨

With the recent approval of Strychnine use IN OUR AREA, here is what YOU need to know:

Strychnine does NOT dissipate in the body, meaning that any animals killed by Strychnine will also kill any animals scavenging its body.

*****
If your pet ingests Strychnine or an animal killed by it, it is CRITICAL they receive IMMEDIATE medical attention!
*****

Symptoms occur typically 10-60min after exposure or ingestion.

Initial Symptoms often overlooked:
- nervousness
- anxiety
- tenseness
- stiffness/twitching
- restlessness
- exaggerated startle response
- agitation
- apprehension
- difficulty breathing

Progressive Symptoms:
- "lock jaw" / "fixed grimace"
- severe arching of the back due to muscle contractions
- convulsions triggered by light, noise, touch, etc.
- drooling
- difficulty breathing/swallowing
- severe pain and rigidity throughout the body

🚨🛑🚨🛑🚨CALL YOUR VETERINARIAN IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOUR PET MAY HAVE CONSUMED Strychnine🚨🛑🚨🛑🚨

• Managing phone calls, emails, and client questions

🚨 Colostrum Update 🚨

This weather hasn’t been easy on our spring calving producers… and to top it off, colostrum is currently out of stock with all of our suppliers. There is no estimated time of return at this point.

A few things we’re recommending right now:

🥛 When you can, milk and collect from your own cows
🧊 Freeze and store extra when you have it

Having your own supply on hand can make all the difference when things don’t go according to plan.

If you’re short, or have questions about collection, storage, or your options, give us a call. We’ll help however we can.

If you’ve wrapped up calving and have extra on hand, feel free to comment below… there may be a neighbour who could use it 👀

Hang in there. Spring will show up eventually.

Hey, we know that guy!! 😉

Behind every smooth appointment, answered phone call, and organized day at WVC… is this crew.

This week we celebrated our CSR & admin team, the ones who juggle it all, keep things moving, and somehow still have time for a little fun and morale boosting along the way 😄

We appreciate you more than words can say.

Finn said it was time for a Spring clean… and we fully support that decision.

A whole lot of floof gone, and one very fresh pup heading home.
