Chocolate isn’t the only Halloween concern for pets. Sugar-free candy containing xylitol can be extremely dangerous to dogs, while wrappers, decorations, and costume pieces can cause problems if swallowed.

Keep candy and decorations out of reach, and give pets a secure place away from frequently opened doors.

If your pet eats something potentially harmful, contact a veterinarian promptly.

When a beloved animal develops a life-limiting illness, veterinary care doesn’t simply stop. Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and quality of life while helping families navigate difficult decisions.

Pain control, mobility, appetite, hydration, hygiene, and your pet’s ability to enjoy familiar activities can all help guide the conversation.

You don’t have to navigate this stage alone. Call Lewiston Veterinary Clinic at (208) 743-6553 to discuss supportive care options.

Does your dog sit with one back leg kicked out to the side, or seem stiff getting up? That small habit is often the earliest hint of a cranial cruciate tear, months before the sudden limp shows up. Our latest post walks through the signs at home and how TPLO and lateral suture repairs compare.

A red, moist patch of irritated skin can seemingly appear overnight. Often called a “hot spot,” this painful skin inflammation can worsen quickly when a dog continues licking, scratching, or chewing the area.

The important question is why it developed. Moisture, parasites, allergies, skin infections, and other problems may contribute.

If your dog develops a rapidly worsening skin lesion, call us at (208) 743-6553.

Some pets carry a dramatically swollen lymph node and still eat, play, and act like themselves. That normal behavior is the reason the lump waits weeks for an exam, but finding the cause early can be the difference between a simple fix and a major treatment. Lewiston Veterinary Clinic looks at the symptoms around the swelling to find what is driving it. Worth a check this week? Find out in our blog.

Some pets with dramatically swollen lymph nodes act completely normal, which is why the lump still needs checking. Learn which symptoms point to the cause.

Successful surgery involves much more than the procedure itself. Depending on the patient, care may include a pre-surgical examination, diagnostic testing, an individualized anesthetic plan, monitoring, pain control, and detailed recovery instructions.

Lewiston Veterinary Clinic performs routine and complex soft-tissue procedures as well as a variety of orthopedic surgeries.

Have questions about a recommended procedure? Call us at (208) 743-6553.
