Every spring, our specialists and ER teams start seeing the same cases come through. Some pet owners saw it coming. A lot didn't.
A few that tend to catch people off guard this time of year:
🌡️ Heatstroke, which can escalate faster than most people expect
🐝 Bee sting reactions, same
🌿 Tick-borne illness like Lyme and anaplasmosis, which can take weeks to show up after a bite
🍖 Pancreatitis from cookout scraps, one of the most preventable things we see all season
🍄 Mushroom toxicity, more common than most people realize after a wet spring
Knowing what to watch for, and when to act, can make a real difference in your pet's outcome. If something feels off, don't wait. 🧡
