October 1st through the 7th is National Walk Your Dog Week!

Regular exercise helps keep your dog’s joints flexible and muscles strong while burning calories, which is ideal for maintaining or improving body conditions. Pets who stay “cooped up” can become overweight, have weakened muscle function, or have stiff joints, which can cause further issues down the road. Walks also support urinary and digestive health by encouraging regular bathroom breaks, which can help prevent bladder infections.

Walking can also provide stimulation for the brain, keeping pets from being “bored” and hopefully from eating that new couch of yours. Going to new or more social places can provide excellent mental stimulation for your pet instead of the same old yard or path. Putting a walk into our daily routine can also benefit us in many of the same ways, such as mobility in the joints, burning calories, and providing great mental stimulation.

Time for Sparky to get a check-up? Give us a call at 541-752-5595 to get an appointment scheduled!

September 28th was World Rabies Day!

What Is the Rabies Virus?

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, rabies is a deadly disease caused by Lyssavirus, which attacks the host nervous system in order to survive and spread. Rabies is nearly 100% fatal and is zoonotic, meaning it can spread from animal to human. The rabies virus is transmitted through saliva, which opens up the possibility of it being spread through the eyes, nose, and mouth, but is primarily spread through bites or scratches. Signs or symptoms include intense thirst, agitation, weakness, and even hallucinations. Rabies is most commonly carried by bats, foxes, raccoons, and skunks.

How Do We Prevent the Rabies Virus?

Good News!!! Rabies disease is 100% preventable through the use of vaccination. The rabies vaccine must be administered by a medical professional such as a veterinarian or certified technician. The best way to prevent the spread of disease is to make sure your pet is up to date on their rabies vaccination, but further measures include keeping your pet away from wildlife, washing scratches or bites right away with soap and warm water, and seeking medical attention immediately after exposure to rabies.

Time for a rabies vaccination? Keep up on prevention and give us a call at 541-752-5595 to get an appointment scheduled.

September 21st to September 27th is National Deaf Dog Awareness Week!

There are many reasons why dogs can be born deaf or develop deafness over time. According to the Merck Veterinary Manual, acquired deafness can be the result of long-term inflammation or buildup of wax in the ear(s), trauma of the temporal bone, or degradation of the cochlea. Deafness may also be congenital, resulting from mutations in the gene sequence, improper breeding practices, or toxic/viral damage done to unborn puppies.

A majority of the time we see hearing impairments happen with age, just like in humans. Common signs your canine is or is becoming deaf include failure to respond to noise or vocal cues, excessive or unusual barking, or lack of ear movement. Believe it or not, dogs with hearing impairments can be trained in other ways, such as using hand signals or a vibration collar to signal cues. Talking with your vet, doing personal research, or speaking with a trainer can all be great ways to inform yourself about canine deafness.

Need to get those ears checked or even cleaned? Give us a call at 541-752-5595 to get an appointment scheduled!

Today is National Pet Memorial Day, a day to honor and remember our beloved pets who have passed.

All animals hold a soft spot in our hearts here at Corvallis Veterinary Hospital. From lifelong patients to a new furry face in the clinic, we create bonds with not only owners but also their pets. We understand the pain of losing beloved pets and the bond we share with them. While we may seem put together and professional during these times of hurt, our staff silently grieves with owners and are thankful for the time spent between client and pet.

In honor of Animal Pain Awareness Month, let's talk about some of the tools we use here in the clinic to help prevent or reduce pain in pets — specifically, pain caused by osteoarthritis.

What is osteoarthritis?

According to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, osteoarthritis is the inflammation and breakdown of key components within the joints, including cartilage, joint capsules, and even bone. While this condition is commonly seen in older pets, it can actually develop at any age due to factors like genetics, obesity, or other underlying orthopedic issues.

Why does weight matter?

Obesity is one of the leading contributors to the development and progression of osteoarthritis in pets. That’s why veterinarians place such a strong emphasis on keeping pets at a healthy weight. Sorry, Sparky and Mittens — it might be time for a diet and exercise plan!

What can we do to help?

While not everything can be resolved with weight management alone, there are a variety of treatment options available to help manage osteoarthritis-related pain. These can include joint supplements, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, laser treatments, and more.

If you’re concerned your pet may be dealing with joint pain, or if you just want to learn more about prevention, give us a call at 541-752-5595 to get an appointment scheduled! We’re here to support your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month!

As we all know, pain is not a good feeling; whether it’s acute or chronic, discomfort can show signs in many ways. Good indicators of pain include a decrease in exercise, reluctance to go up or down stairs, and physical signs like limping, but pain can also appear in unusual ways, such as hiding or refusing to eat. There are also many types and reasons for pain, such as ear infections, arthritis, and cancer. Being informed and active in managing any pain your pet(s) may be experiencing is taking a step towards getting them back on the path to comfort.

If you feel your pet is experiencing pain, give us a call at 541-752-5595 to get an appointment booked. We look forward to helping take care of you and your pet(s).

In honor of August being Itchy Pet Awareness Month, let's discuss some of the flea, tick, and heartworm prevention we carry here at Corvallis Veterinary Hospital and why it's important!

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, both fleas and ticks pose a health risk to not only our four-legged friends but humans as well. These blood-sucking bugs can transmit zoonotic diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain fever. For heartworms, the American Heartworm Society asserts that mosquitoes can transmit heartworms, necessitating year-round prevention treatments for pets due to their ability to damage important organs in the body. Prevention is an important key to help keep your pet(s) safe from nasty pests. Other factors that can help minimize interaction are making sure your pet has clean bedding, vacuuming carpets or other materials alike, and keeping your pet bathed and groomed, especially after outings in tall grass or wooded areas.

What prevention do we carry?

For dogs:

**Simparica Trio—a once-monthly chewable tablet used to help prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms.
*Nexgard—a once-monthly chewable tablet used to help prevent fleas and ticks.
**Heartgard Plus—a once-monthly chewable tablet used to help prevent heartworms, hookworms, and roundworms.
Vectra 3D—a once-monthly topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, mites, mosquitoes, and biting flies.

For cats:

*Nexgard Combo—a once-monthly topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms.
*Bravecto Plus—a once-every-two-month topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms.
Catego—a once-monthly topical solution used to help prevent fleas, ticks, and lice.

Notes:

* Prescription prevention which requires an up to date examination.
** Prescription prevention which requires an up to date examination as well as an up to date heartworm test.

Give us a call at 541-752-5595, shoot us an OTTO message, or stop in to get the prevention your furry friend needs!
