November is . If left untreated, diabetes can cause a number of serious health issues. Factors that may lead to diabetes include middle to older age, genetics, breed, and obesity.

If you notice any of the following signs, you should reach out to your primary care veterinarian immediately:

🐾 Excessive water drinking and increased urination
🐾 Weight loss, even though there may be an increased appetite
🐾 Decreased appetite
🐾 Cloudy eyes (especially in dogs)
🐾 Chronic or recurring infections (eg. skin infections and urinary infections)

The earlier the diagnosis, the better chance your pet may have for a longer and healthier life.

Aria is a 9-month-old pup who had an unfortunate aggressive encounter with another dog. This sweet mini–Australian Shepherd presented at AVECCC with a large wound penetrating through into her chest. Due to the severity of trauma, the owner approved surgical exploration, repair, and hospitalization with supportive pain medications, oxygen, and IV antibiotics. Aria had radiographs performed that found a severe pneumothorax (air in the pleural space) and rib fractures. A chest tube was placed, and Aria was taken to surgery where exploration and repair of her wounds was performed. A chest tube and surgical suction drain were kept in place post operatively to help draw fluid from the wounds to assist the healing process. Aria recovered well from surgery, and she was able to go home with her loving family the following day. She has had a couple of recheck appointments where the AVECCC team removed the drains and sutures, as well as some extra hugs.

Halloween can be a delightful time for humans, but for our furry friends, it might just be the most nerve-wracking night of the year. With the doorbell constantly ringing and tempting bowls of chocolate that are off-limits, even the most easygoing pup can get stressed out.

At home, setting up a cozy crate, gate, or a comfy back room can offer your dog a safe haven to escape the hustle and bustle. This way, they’re shielded from the noise, unfamiliar faces, and the never-ending doorbell rings.

For the rest of the brave ghosts and goblins, stay safe on this spooky holiday! 👻 🎃

Many pet owners are nervous if anesthesia is needed for a surgery or procedure. However, anesthesia or sedation may be the best way for your pet to receive high-quality care without pain, stress, or discomfort.

🐾 Our team is trained to carefully select, dose, administer medications, and monitor your pet while they are at the hospital.

🐾 Some pain medications can last for 8-12 hours in dogs and up to 24 hours in cats. Your pet may act groggy and confused within this timeframe after their procedure.

🐾 Keep your pet from climbing, jumping, or running around for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Your doctor will instruct proper recovery time to prevent injury.

🐾 Call your us if your pet isn’t eating within the anticipated timeframe, or if your pet vomits, develops diarrhea, or refuses to eat or drink for more than 12 hours.

Remember, it takes time for the effects of anesthesia to wear off. Don't hesitate to ask your veterinarian questions and more importantly, don't delay treatments that could help your pet have a healthier, happier life! 📲 AVECCC Gilbert 480-497-0222
