I like cats but I trust my dog to help me find my keys :)

So selfish but so cute

Poor Jenny. She was so sad when I had to leave her in the house to take the skidsteer to the back pond to do some work.

Another reminder on why dental care for our pets is so important

There's a common myth that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's.

So frustrating that there are several Vets in Bakersfield that either won't refer patients locally or only refer patients to LA or, worse case, tell owners that there is nothing they can do. Just had one where (REDACTED-message if you want the name) told the owner no one in town does a**l gland removal surgery in Bakersfield. We have done these for 30 years and they actually know we do.

This same hospital told an owner that their dog had lockjaw (the Vet never physically examined the dog, just glanced at him in the room). While dogs do get lockjaw, it is rare in dogs and something we have never seen in our practice. The owner fortunately called us after the Vet told them they had to euthanize their pet. It was misdiagnosed and was actually MMM. Masticatory muscle myositis (MMM) is an immune-mediated disease where a dog's immune system attacks the specialized type 2M muscle fibers in its chewing muscles (the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles). It is important to aggressively treat this early and unfortunately the delay of treatment due to the misdiagnosis created a poor prognosis for this dog.

If your Vet tells you no one in town does a particular treatment or surgery, please check around. There are some surgeries we do not do such as spinal surgeries, some fracture repairs, radiation treatments, etc. Most times however, we work with a referral hospital on these cases and labs, follow-up exams, etc can still be done in our hospital. So please, if your vet says there is nothing you can do for your pet or says your only choice is LA or Davis, or they have a "specialist" on call but it is 2 to 3 weeks before the "specialist" comes to town, always check locally.

If you feel like you want a second opinion, then get one. It doesn't mean you don't trust your vet but sometimes a second set of eyes can help to determine if there were things missed, or if there are alternative options to a treatment plan, or even just concur that what your Vet said was 100% correct.

Your pet will thank you for it since traveling long distance after surgery is uncomfortable for your pet. Your pocketbook will thank you because of the price for fuel.

PIGEONS????

A pigeon flock scored 99% on breast cancer slides but failed on mammogram masses. Two 2026 pigeon studies of heart and lung scans add twists.

It's fairly well-known that chocolate is toxic for dogs, but why? One veterinarian breaks down what happens when a dog eats chocolate.
