Blue-green algae blooms can be fatal when your dog swallowd affected water while playing in lakes. Multiple locations in Harrington Lake have been confirmed to have the algae. The algae may not be obvious to the eye, so please be aware and better to be safe by not allowing your dog to swim or be in the water at all. Usually by the time a dog shows symptoms it's already too late, which can occur within hours of ingestion. Symptoms can be vomiting, diarrhea, more severely tremors, weakness, collapse, seizures, and others. Prompt treatment is essential if your dog starts showing signs of toxicity.

A harmful algal bloom has been confirmed at Paradise Camp on Herrington Lake, with additional bloom activity also reported near Tanyard Branch, also known as Redgate.

Important reminder about how quick your vehicle can warm up as the weather gets nicer outside. Please don't leave your pets in hot cars!

With summer around the corner, today's theme of "Travel with Care" is an important reminder on the dangers of leaving your pet in an unattended car.

Your vehicle can quickly reach a temperature that puts your pet at risk of serious illness and even death, even on a day that doesn't seem hot to you. And cracking the windows makes no difference. Find out more here ⬇️ https://bit.ly/2W5nDLH

Collaboration with acupuncture (and chiropractic) and a good rehabilitation program can be so beneficial. River was an interesting case that Dr. Butler assisted with by treating with electro-acupuncture, assisted with tailoring his rehab plan, and helped to monitor his improvement.

Boston Whiskey River, affectionately known as River, underwent rehabilitation at our facility for a suprascapular nerve injury, typically referred to as a Sweeney Shoulder.

At the outset of his treatment, River exhibited marked atrophy of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles, a direct result of the nerve damage.
In addressing nerve damage, such as River's case, it is crucial to acknowledge that the nerve healing process can be protracted. Consequently, while the muscles enveloping the shoulder may not regain their normal function, our objective was to improve shoulder joint stability and encourage some degree of muscle growth.

By maintaining close communication with River's owner and veterinary team, we created a personalized rehabilitation protocol tailored to River's specific requirements, focusing on the restoration of his shoulder and overall health.

Following a five-and-half month stay at our facility, River achieved significant improvement, progressing from 40% to 80% shoulder stability, accompanied by noticeable muscle growth, and was cleared to return home!
