🐶 CANINE HEARTWORM ALERT 🐶

We have observed a concerning rise in Heartworm cases at our clinic recently. Heartworm disease is a serious, preventable condition spread by mosquitoes, and treatment is costly and difficult.

Prevention is the BEST medicine!

To ensure your dog has the most complete protection, we strongly recommend your pets to be on Heartworm prevention medications

Want to do a screening / test if you’re concerned that your dog has Heartworm? You may come and visit us or send us a message!

We are located at Don Alfaro St. Tetuan. Just before Alavar Seafood Restaurant.

Buenos Dias, Zamboangueños!

We have noticed a rising case of Canine Parvovirus in our clinic.

Canine Parvovirus Infections or Parvoviral Enteritis is a highly contagious viral disease that commonly affects young, unvaccinated dogs. Clinical signs include anorexia, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea, which is often bloody/hemorrhagic (MSD Vet Manual)

How do we prevent and control CPV on our dogs?

•Vaccination which your dog can start as early as 6 weeks old.

Come by and visit the clinic or message us for more information regarding vaccinations for your furbabies.

PARVO ALERT! 🩸

We’ve seen a spike in Parvovirus cases this week. Please be extra cautious with your pets! 🥺

Maging maingat sa mga alagang a*o at pusa. Magpabakuna at huwag munang palabasin ang mga alaga lalo na kapag hinde pa kumpleto ang bakuna. 🫡

Vaccination is the best protection. Don’t delay! 💪🏼
Come visit us at Don Alfaro Street, Tetuan, Zamboanga City. 🤗

Take note pet parents 📝

DECODING YOUR PET’S VOMITING AND DIARRHEA

This post is especially dedicated to pet owners. Kaya kung may alaga kang a*o o pusa, may you have the patience to read this. 🤗

“Doc, pa-reseta lang ako. Yung pet ko, nagsusuka at nagtatae.”

As a science-based doctor, of course you would tell the owner to bring the pet to the clinic to get the complete history, run diagnostic tests, and most likely, insert an IV fluid to correct dehydration, discuss further treatment plans, and maybe surgery if needed. 🤔

“Grabe, Doc. Di ka makapag-reseta. Sa pet shop ni XYZ, binibentahan kami ng metoclopramide at SMP tapos wala pang consultation fee!”

Then the worst part: they leave a Google or Facebook review about your clinic saying, “Walang alam at incompetent,” “Pera-pera lang,” “Walang awa,” “Beware of this clinic,” “I don’t recommend,” and so on and so forth.

As a pet owner, especially if you don’t have any medical background, please know that vomiting and diarrhea are non-specific signs of a disease. 🧐

Do you know the common signs of Parvovirus, Coronavirus, Giardiasis, Canine Distemper, parasitic, and bacterial GI infections? Yup… vomiting and diarrhea.

What about dietary indiscretion because you fed spoiled food or abruptly changed your pet’s diet? Correct… vomiting and diarrhea.😓

When you accidentally feed chocolate, or they access pesticides or other toxic substances? Opo, magaling.. vomiting and diarrhea. 🫣

How about intestinal obstruction caused by foreign bodies (i.e., bones, toys) or tumors? Darling, you’re right, you will also observe vomiting and diarrhea. 😱

Some hormonal imbalances like hyperthyroidism in older cats and Addison’s disease in dogs can also present with vomiting and diarrhea.😶‍🌫️

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and pancreatitis in cats? Yes again, vomiting and diarrhea. 🫡

While vomiting and diarrhea are oftentimes brushed off by owners as simple signs, sometimes they’re just the tip of the iceberg. A thorough history and physical assessment, along with carefully chosen diagnostic tests, can help your vet understand the bigger picture. 🫢

Only then can we give a proper prognosis and tailor treatment based on what your pet needs and how willing and able you are to cooperate throughout the course of treatment. 😉

And take note, I’m only talking about vomiting and diarrhea. What more if we dive into topics like “kagid,” “hindi kumakain,” or “lagnat”?🫣

I hope this gives you a better understanding of our point of view before you bash your veterinarian or refuse to bring your pet in for a check-up and diagnostic work-up. 🫠

That’s it for now.

‘Til my next post.

Happy pet keeping! 🫶🏽

Huwag pong kalimutan, 5n1 and Rabies vaccines save lives! 💚

DON’T SAY “NEXT TIME” TO RABIES AND 5-N-1 VACCINES

“Doc, rabies lang po ipaturok ko sa puppy, kasi ‘di naman po ‘yan pinapalabas ng bahay.”

“Huwag na muna yung 5-in-1, dagdag gastos lang. Tumagal naman mga askal namin kahit walang ganyan.”

I often hear these from pet owners who don’t see the value of the 5-in-1 vaccine at our clinic.

Pero bakit nga ba parehong importante ang 5-in-1 (DHLPP) at rabies vaccine para sa lahat ng a*o sa Pilipinas?

Una sa lahat, hindi lang parvo ang pini-prevent ng 5-in-1. Kasama rin dito ang Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, at Parainfluenza. Ito ang tinatawag na core vaccines, ibig sabihin, lahat ng a*o, kailangan nito, kahit hindi lumalabas ng bahay.

“Doc, ano bang pwedeng mangyari kung hindi ko sila pabakunahan?”

Eto ang worst-case scenario ng bawat sakit na nabanggit:

1. Distemper – Maaaring magdulot ng seizures, brain damage, o kamatayan.

2. Hepatitis (CAV-1) – Biglaan at malalang liver failure at internal bleeding.

3. Leptospirosis – Nagdudulot ng kidney at liver failure. Zoonotic o nakakahawa sa tao.

4. Parainfluenza – Malalang ubo, kasama sa kennel cough complex.

5. Parvovirus – Bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and death without intensive treatment.

6. Rabies – Zoonotic, walang lunas at palaging nakakamatay.

So bilang pet owner, handa ka bang hintayin magkasakit ang alaga mo bago kumilos?

Handa ka bang malagay sa alanganin ang iyong kapamilya, kapatid, kapuso, and your own health?

Sa gastos pa lang, alam mo ba na ang DHLPP + rabies vaccines ay nasa ~₱3,000 lang? Pero ang hospitalization for parvo alone? Umaabot ng ₱15,000–₱50,000, depende sa lala, with no guarantee of survival.

At kung rabies ang tumama? Hindi lang a*o ang pwedeng mamatay, ang tao rin. Sa Zamboanga City, may apat na tao ang namatay suspected of rabies in the first quarter pa lang of 2025. Scary!

Kaya pag sinabihan kayo ng vet na pabakunahan ang alaga, hindi po ito pera-pera. At lalo na pong hindi ito chismis. Pag sinabing kumpletuhin ang bakuna, wag po matigas ang ulo. 🤗

Ang pagmamahal sa alaga ay hindi natatapos sa cuddles at kisses. Kailangan po ng utak, puso, at budget.

Wag puro TikTok at reels, mga vhe. Magbasa, mag-research, at higit sa lahat, maglaan ng oras at pera bago mag-alaga.

Take this as a sign to check your pets’ records and update their vaccination.

And kung nasa Zamboanga City po kayo, alam nyo na saan dadalhin ang mga alaga nyo, syempre sa Cassa de Perro Veterinary Clinic (Tumaga) or sa Eastcoast Pet Care Services (Tetuan). Ahemm, shameless plug bc why not?! 😉😅

Let’s vaccinate, walk the talk, and be responsible pet owners. Kaya natin ‘to! 💪
