Why the Cone Matters After Surgery

After a pet has surgery, one of the most important parts of healing is protecting the incision. That’s where the “cone” (also called an Elizabethan collar or e-collar) comes in.

It may look a little silly, but here’s why it’s so important:

- Pets naturally want to lick, chew, or scratch at their incision. Even a few seconds can reopen stitches or introduce infection.
- Licking does not “help it heal” — it actually delays healing and can cause serious complications.
- Many surgeries require strict incision protection for 10–14 days.

Today, there are many options beyond the traditional plastic cone, including soft fabric cones, inflatable collars, and medical pet shirts. No matter the style, the goal is the same: keeping your pet safe while they heal.

If your pet has surgery, please keep their cone or protective option on as directed. It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to ensure a smooth recovery.

Why Do Some Dogs Need a C-Section?

Just like in people, sometimes a natural delivery doesn’t go as planned. At Charlotte Companion Animal Hospital, our top priority is always the safety of both mom and her puppies.

A C-section (cesarean section) may be needed if:

- Labor isn’t progressing as it should.
- A puppy is too large to pass through the birth canal.
- Mom has been pushing for a long time without delivering.
- Certain breeds (such as Bulldogs, Frenchies, and other brachycephalic breeds) are at higher risk for complications.
- Mom or puppies show signs of distress.

While most dogs deliver naturally, our team is prepared to step in when necessary. A timely C-section can make the difference between life and loss, and it’s one of the ways veterinary medicine helps bring healthy puppies safely into the world.

Because every life matters.

🐾💙 Things You Might Not Know About Veterinarians 💙🐾

Most people know veterinarians give vaccines and help when pets are sick—but here are some things that might surprise you about the work we do every day at Charlotte Companion Animal Hospital.

Veterinarians are also:

Dentists- Vets are trained to perform dental cleanings, x-rays, and even extractions. Oral health is a huge part of your pet’s overall health.

Surgeons- From spays and neuters to removing masses or repairing wounds, your veterinarian is also skilled in the operating room.

Pharmacists- Veterinarians prescribe, dose, and manage medications for everything from pain control to chronic diseases.

Radiologists & lab techs- X-rays, ultrasounds, bloodwork, and in-house lab tests are often interpreted directly by your veterinarian.

Educators- Every exam includes teaching—whether it’s puppy training tips, diet recommendations, or helping you understand lab results.

They're also compassionate guides- One of the hardest (but important) parts of their job is supporting families through end-of-life care with dignity and love.

Behind every appointment, there’s a veterinarian wearing many hats—all to keep tails wagging and purrs going strong.

🌟🐾 The Importance of Teaching in Veterinary Medicine 🐾🌟

Every veterinarian, technician, and assistant started out as a student—learning from those who came before them. By taking time to teach, mentor, and guide, we’re not just sharing knowledge… we’re shaping the future of veterinary medicine.

Why teaching matters:

- It ensures the next generation of veterinary professionals are confident and compassionate.
- It strengthens our field by passing along both science and real-world experience.
- It inspires young people to see that caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a calling.

Whether it’s mentoring students, answering a curious client’s question, or showing a new team member the ropes, every moment of teaching helps animals, families, and communities.

Because the best way to honor the profession we love is to help it grow

At about 16 weeks old, kittens enter their “teenager phase.” 😼 They’re full of energy, learning boundaries, and testing limits.
This is also a key time for socialization—positive play, gentle handling, and meeting new people or pets helps them grow into confident, well-adjusted cats. A little mischief is normal at this age, so keep breakables out of paw’s reach!

🐾 Did you know? 🐾
A dog’s nose print is just as unique as a human fingerprint!
No two pups have the same pattern of ridges and creases on their nose.

Just another reason our dogs are truly one of a kind. 🐕❤️

🐾 Start Strong: Vaccinate Early! 🐶🐱

This adorable face belongs to Juicy—and while she’s all cuteness and cuddles now, she’s also at a crucial stage in her health journey.

Puppies and kittens have developing immune systems, making them more vulnerable to serious (and preventable) diseases like parvo, distemper,
and more. That’s why early and consistent vaccinations are so important.

💉 Vaccines protect against:
✔️ Deadly viruses
✔️ Highly contagious illnesses
✔️ Long-term complications

Starting a vaccine schedule between 6–8 weeks of age and keeping up with boosters gives your pet the strong, healthy foundation they need for a long and happy life.

Juicy’s getting the best start possible—make sure your fur baby does too! 🐾💙
