: Chow Chow

Did you know the Chow Chow is one of the oldest dog breeds in the world? Originating in ancient China over 2,000 years ago, these fluffy companions have served as hunting dogs, guard dogs, sled dogs, and loyal family pets throughout history!

Fun Facts:
- Chow Chows are famous for their unique blue-black tongue, one of only a few breeds in the world with this feature!

- Their thick double coat gives them a lion-like appearance, earning them the nickname "Lion Dog."

- They can have either a rough, fluffy coat or a smooth, shorter coat.

- They're known for being incredibly clean and are often compared to cats because they like to keep themselves tidy!

📏 Average Size:
⚖️ Weight: 45–70 pounds
📏 Height: 17–20 inches at the shoulder

Temperament:
Chow Chows are loyal, independent, and devoted to their families. While they may be reserved around strangers, they're excellent watchdogs and form strong bonds with the people they love. Early socialization and consistent training help them grow into confident, well-mannered companions.

Did You Know?
Because of their thick double coat, Chow Chows can overheat easily, especially during our hot Texas summers! Always provide plenty of fresh water, shade, and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day.

Do you have a Chow Chow at home? We'd love to see them! Share a photo of your fluffy friend in the comments!

: Understanding Seizures in Dogs & Cats

Watching your pet have a seizure can be frightening, but knowing what to do can make all the difference.

A seizure is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. While seizures are more common in dogs than cats, they can occur in both species and may be caused by a variety of underlying conditions, including:

🧠 Epilepsy (especially in dogs)
🩸 Low blood sugar
☠️ Toxin exposure
🦠 Infections
🩺 Liver or kidney disease
🎗️ Brain tumors or other neurological disorders

Types of Seizures

- Generalized (Grand Mal) Seizures – The most common type. Pets typically lose consciousness, collapse, paddle their legs, stiffen, drool, vocalize, or urinate/defecate involuntarily.

- Focal (Partial) Seizures – Affect only one part of the brain. Signs may include facial twitching, blinking, chewing motions, excessive salivation, head turning, or jerking of a single limb while the pet may remain conscious.

- Focal Seizures with Secondary Generalization – A seizure that begins as a focal seizure and progresses into a generalized seizure affecting the entire body.

- Cluster Seizures – Two or more seizures occurring within a 24-hour period. These require prompt veterinary attention.

- Status Epilepticus – A seizure lasting longer than 5 minutes, or repeated seizures without your pet regaining consciousness between them. This is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate veterinary care.

Signs of a Seizure

- Collapse or falling over.
- Drooling or foaming at the mouth.ing.e limbs...
- Trembling or uncontrollable jerking
- Drooling or foaming at the mouth
- Loss of consciousness.
- Urinating or defecating involuntarily.
- Temporary confusion, pacing, blindness, restlessness, or disorientation after the seizure (post-ictal phase).

Diagnosis & Treatment

Your veterinarian may recommend bloodwork and other diagnostic tests to help determine the cause of your pet's seizures. Depending on the diagnosis, some pets may simply be monitored, while others may need daily anti-seizure medication to help reduce the frequency and severity of future seizures. Regular checkups and follow-up bloodwork may also be recommended to monitor your pet's health and medication.

What Should You Do?

- Stay calm and keep your pet away from stairs, furniture, or anything they could injure themselves on.

- Do NOT place your hands in your pet's mouth. Pets cannot swallow their tongue during a seizure, and you could be bitten accidentally.

- Time the seizure(s) and, if possible, record a video to share with your veterinarian.
Keep the room quiet and dim while your pet recovers.

🚨 Seek immediate veterinary care if:

- A seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes.
- Your pet has multiple seizures within 24 hours (cluster seizures).
- Your pet does not fully recover between seizures.
- This is your pet's first seizure.
- Your pet is having difficulty breathing or is injured during the episode.

: Understanding Stomatitis in Cats

What is feline stomatitis & what causes it?
Feline stomatitis is a severe, painful inflammation of the gums and tissues inside a cat's mouth. While the exact cause isn't fully understood, it's believed that many cats have an abnormal immune response to plaque and bacteria on their teeth. Instead of fighting the bacteria normally, the immune system overreacts, causing widespread inflammation and painful ulcers. Dental disease, viruses such as feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), along with other underlying health conditions, may also play a role.

Signs to Watch For
• Bad breath (halitosis)
• Excessive drooling
• Difficulty eating or chewing
• Weight loss
• Pawing at the mouth
• Decreased grooming
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Oral pain or sensitivity around the face and mouth

How Is It Diagnosed?
Your veterinarian will perform a thorough oral examination and may recommend:
• Bloodwork and urinalysis
• Testing for FIV and FeLV
• Dental X-rays
• A biopsy of oral tissue in some cases to rule out other diseases or oral cancer

Treatment Options
Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and controlling pain. Depending on the severity, your veterinarian may recommend:
• Professional dental cleaning
• Pain medications and anti-inflammatory therapy
• Antibiotics when appropriate
• Dental home care products
• Immunosuppressive therapy, such as stem cell therapy or feline interferon omega, in select cases
• Extraction of some, or even all, teeth in severe cases

Although tooth extraction may sound drastic, many cats experience significant pain relief and go on to live happy, comfortable lives. In fact, dental extractions are often the most effective long-term treatment for severe stomatitis.

Caring for a Cat with Stomatitis
• Follow your veterinarian's treatment plan closely.
• Feed soft or moistened food if recommended.
• Administer medications as directed.
• Schedule regular dental evaluations.
• Monitor for changes in appetite, weight, or comfort level.
