🐾 A Quick Check-In with Dr. Jax 🐾

Dr. Jax is in the office today going over lab work with his patient, Saber 🐱

“Everything’s looking good, but I’m glad you came in when you did!”

The truth is, pets are really good at hiding when something isn’t right. A lot of times, by the time they show signs, they’ve already been dealing with it for a while. That’s why yearly bloodwork is so important—it helps us catch things like kidney and liver issues early, before your pet is feeling sick.

We’re now offering annual lab work packages for dogs and cats:
Basic | Advanced | Advanced Plus

Each one includes an exam, heartworm test, f***l, and bloodwork based on the plan you choose.

It’s a simple way to stay ahead of your pet’s health and keep them feeling their best ❤️

🐾 🚨 IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM OUR CLINIC CATS 🚨 🐾

Jax & Saber were bribed with treats to bring you this very important announcement… and trust us, it was worth it. 😼

👉 It’s officially FLEA & TICK SEASON!

Even if your pet never steps outside, they are still at risk. Fleas and ticks can hitch a ride into your home on people, other pets, or even clothing.

⚠️ The Nebraska DHHS has reported a significant rise in tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis in humans, and we expect to see this increase in our pets, too.

✔️ Protecting your pet = protecting your home and your family

🦟 Why prevention matters:

• Flea infestations can take up to 3 months to fully eliminate
• Some pets are allergic to flea bites, leading to painful skin infections
• Severe infestations can even cause anemia, requiring hospitalization
• We commonly see pets with OTC collars (Walmart, Bomgaars, etc.) that fail to prevent infestations

💊 Not all products are created equal
The most reliable flea & tick prevention comes directly from your veterinary clinic.

We offer options to fit every pet:
✔️ 8-month protection
✔️ 3-month protection
✔️ Monthly doses
✔️ Chewables, topicals, and collars

🕷️ Found a tick on your pet?
1. Remove it carefully
2. Place it in isopropyl alcohol
3. Monitor your pet

Watch for:
• Fever
• Lethargy
• Joint pain
• Loss of appetite

If you notice any of these signs, contact us right away.

🦝 Rabies Alert in Eastern Nebraska

Eastern Nebraska has confirmed its first rabies-positive skunk in over a decade, and DHHS is expanding rabies surveillance through September 2026.

⚠️ Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms appear — but it is 100% preventable with vaccination

✔️ Keep all pets up to date on rabies vaccines (required by law)
✔️ Avoid contact with wildlife showing unusual behavior
✔️ If your pet interacts with a bat or wild animal:
• Safely contain the animal if possible
• Contact your vet immediately
• Your pet may need a booster

🐶 Bottom line: Prevention is easier, safer, and far less expensive than treatment.

Jax & Saber strongly approve this message… and would also like more treats for their hard work. 😸
