👂 Ear Mites: Small Parasites, Big Discomfort!

Is your pet constantly scratching their ears or shaking their head? Ear mites could be the culprit!

Ear mites are tiny parasites that live in the ear canal and can cause irritation and discomfort.

🐾 Signs to watch for:

* Frequent ear scratching
* Head shaking
* Redness or irritation
* Dark, coffee-ground-like debris in the ears

Did you know? Ear mites are contagious and can spread between pets, especially cats and dogs living together.

The good news is that ear mites are treatable with medication prescribed by your veterinarian.

If your furry family member is showing any of these signs, book an appointment with us so we can check those ears!

❤️ Healthy ears = happy pets!

🕷️ Tick season is still here!

This tick was found on a patient after being attached for only 24 hours!

With these warmer temperatures, ticks are still active, so it’s important to stay on top of your furry family members’ tick prevention. 🐶🐱

Ticks can transmit Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Keeping your pets on a veterinarian-recommended tick preventative and checking them regularly can help keep them protected.

Don’t let ticks hitch a ride on your furry friends! ❤️

Fig vs. Printer 🐱🖨️😂

Fig: “I’m just trying to help.”
Printer: “Absolutely not.”

When the office printer becomes the most interesting thing at the clinic. 😂🐾
