How many staff members does it take to remove cactus spines from a ferret?
Answer: 4!

This little escape artist was found in the neighbor’s yard after running through a cactus. With some mild sedation, it takes many pairs of eyes to make sure we find every spine.

He is now on the mend!

What is this contraption?

A Tono-Pen!
This handheld tonometer measures intraocular pressure in an animal’s eye. The tip gently contacts the cornea several times, taking multiple measurements of intraocular pressure.
This helps us detect:
-Glaucoma
-Uveitis
-Ocular trauma
-Responses to treatment

The Tono-Pen gives veterinary teams a quick, minimally invasive way to measure eye pressure and catch potentially serious ocular conditions.

Foxtails... A.K.A. job security for those of us in the veterinary field.

These grass-like weeds are found all over our state. Once they dry out, the seed heads become brittle and break apart, leaving behind tiny seeds with sharp tips and barbed edges.
The barbed seeds easily catch in an animal's fur, then work their way into the skin. From there, they can continue migrating through the body, damaging tissue and causing pain and infection along the way.
Here are a few tips to help keep your pet safe and avoid an unexpected trip to the vet:
- Pull foxtail weeds regularly in your yard before they dry out and go to seed.
- If your pet has been around foxtails, check their coat thoroughly after walks.
-Pay extra attention to the eyes, nose, ears, and between the toes—these are some of their favorite hiding places.
• If you suspect your pet has a foxtail related issue, give us a call. You'd be surprised how often we see them, and early treatment can prevent more serious problems.
