June is Great Outdoors Month!

As you and your pet get out to enjoy the Texas sun, remember to keep an eye on any pain that may come with those zoomies:

☑️ Check paws (and in between toes) after being outdoors; thorns, splinters, and gravel can get stuck
☑️ If you suspect swelling is from a snake or bug bite, you can give your pet Benadryl tablets (1mg per 1lb of dog) every 12 hours and ice until you can see the vet
☑️ Pet's hide pain but favoring their paw, excessive licking, or decreased activity can be signs of discomfort
☑️ If a limp last longer than 24-48 hours, it may be a sign of ligament tears or fractures, get an exam done immediately

Did you know eating dog bed foam is a bad idea?

One ferret thought he was the exception.

Luckily his human knew he was a troublemaker and was ready to join the team of pet care to save his life.

Let's Talk About It!

Welcome Dr Molly's new cats!

You will probably only ever find them at NW because the staff failed at making them barn cats and only made them into bait for some large wild animal.

We've seen a spike in Parvo cases this week and it is no surprise, the season is here!

Let's review some facts:

1.) Common symptoms: Decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea (+/- blood)
2.) While the virus can infect dogs year-round, warmer weather and increased outdoor activity leads to higher transmission rates.
3.) Puppies are highly vulnerable until their vaccine series is completed.
4.) Adult and senior dogs are not immune due to age.
5.) Getting the vaccine as a puppy does not mean they are covered for life.

Most Important:
The vaccine HELPS the body fight off contraction, but they can still get it. If they do contract it, the vaccine works to lesson symptoms and fight it off.

Being vaccinated can mean life or death at any age, is your pup up to date?
