As our pets age, routine wellness testing becomes even more important. While many health conditions can be detected through regular bloodwork, some cancers may develop without obvious signs while in the early stages.

At Lorena Veterinary Center, we can ๐ข๐ง๐œ๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐‚๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ซ ๐ƒ๐ฑโ„ข screening into senior wellness testing for dogs who may be at increased risk due to age or breed. This blood test helps identify biomarkers associated with certain canine cancers, including lymphoma and mast cell tumors, as part of a comprehensive preventive care plan. Research shows cancer is a leading cause of death in dogs, and risk increases with age. The Cancer Dx Panel is designed to screen apparently healthy, at-risk dogs during routine wellness visits.

Cancer screening may be especially worth discussing if your dog is:

โ€ข A senior dog (typically 7 years and older)

โ€ข A breed with a higher risk for certain cancers, such as Golden Retrievers, Boxers,
Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Labrador Retrievers, Dobermans, and others

Early detection can provide more information sooner, helping guide the next steps in your pet's care.

If your dog is due for a wellness exam or belongs to a breed with known cancer predispositions, talk with our team about whether cancer screening should be part of their preventive health plan.

Many pet owners associate heartworms with summer, but mosquitoes remain active in Central Texas year-round. That means dogs and cats remain at risk long after the hottest weather has passed.

Heartworm disease is transmitted through mosquito bites and can cause serious damage to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. In dogs, treatment can be lengthy and expensive. In cats, there is no approved treatment, making prevention especially important.

โ€ข Give heartworm prevention year-round

โ€ข Keep up with annual heartworm testing as recommended by your veterinarian

Many Texans think snake season ends with summer, but warm fall temperatures keep snakes active throughout September and beyond. Central Texas is home to four venomous snakes: ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ๐ง๐š๐ค๐ž๐ฌ, ๐œ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ก๐ž๐š๐๐ฌ, ๐œ๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ฆ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก๐ฌ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐œ๐จ๐ซ๐š๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ง๐š๐ค๐ž๐ฌ. Curious pets often encounter snakes while exploring trails, brush piles, woodpiles, rocky areas, or near ponds and stock tanks.

Most pets are bitten on the face, neck, or legs. Signs may include swelling, pain, puncture wounds, bruising, weakness, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or sudden collapse. Even nonvenomous snakebites can cause painful wounds and infection.

โ€ข Keep pets leashed on walks and hikes

โ€ข Avoid tall grass, brush, and rocky hiding spots

โ€ข Use extra caution at dawn and dusk when snakes may be active

โ€ข Never approach or attempt to identify a snake if your pet has been bitten

If you suspect a snakebite, keep your pet calm, restrict activity, and seek veterinary care immediately. Prompt treatment can significantly improve outcomes.

Lorena Veterinary Center carries antivenom for pit viper snakebites. If you believe your pet has been bitten, contact us right away.

As school activities, hunting season, boarding, and holiday travel begin to fill the calendar, now is the perfect time to make sure your pet is ready for the season ahead.

A fall wellness visit is more than just vaccines. It helps us assess your pet's overall health, discuss changes you've noticed at home, and identify concerns before they become bigger problems.

โ€ข Review vaccine needs, including rabies, leptospirosis, Bordetella, canine influenza, FeLV, and others based on lifestyle. Protection is best established before exposure occurs.

โ€ข Screen for intestinal parasites and discuss year-round heartworm prevention
โ€ข Check weight, dental health, mobility, and overall wellness
โ€ข Update microchip and contact information before holiday travel and gatherings

The best protection against many diseases starts before exposure occurs. Keeping up with preventive care helps your pet stay healthy, active, and ready for all of their fall adventures.

Cats are masters at hiding illness, which is why subtle changes in behavior can be easy to miss. A decrease in appetite, changes in grooming habits, avoiding favorite jumping spots, or new litter box issues may be early signs that something isn't right.

At Lorena Veterinary Center, weโ€™re here to help you enjoy the holiday safelyโ€”with your four-legged family members in mind.

Fireworks & Fear: What You Need to Know Dogs and cats have incredibly sensitive hearing, and the loud, unpredictable booms of fireworks can trigger intense anxiety. Keep in mind, that fireworks are meant to resemble a life-threatening situation. Some pets may tremble, hide, bark excessively, or even try to escape. Itโ€™s not just the noiseโ€”flashes of light and the smell of smoke can also be overwhelming.

๐Š๐ž๐ž๐ฉ ๐“๐ก๐ž๐ฆ ๐ˆ๐ง๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ: Create a quiet, cozy space away from windows and doors. Close curtains to block out flashing lights.

๐Œ๐ฎ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐’๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐: Turn on a fan, white noise machine, or calming music to help drown out the noise.

๐’๐ญ๐š๐ฒ ๐‚๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ž: Your presence is reassuring. Sit with them, offer gentle pets, and speak in a calm voice.

๐€๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž: Donโ€™t take pets outside during fireworks. Even a fenced yard isnโ€™t foolproof if panic sets in.

Letโ€™s Make It a Happy Independence Day for Everyone. If your pet has a history of severe anxiety, talk to us about additional options like anxiety wraps or calming supplements. Weโ€™re here to support you and your pets every step of the way.

Wishing you and your furry companions a safe, joyful Fourth of July!
