NEW TESTING UPDATE!

We have a new update on our in-house Pluslife-Vet testing!

We recently had a poodle present with a 3 day history of harsh and unproductive cough. He had been groomed 10-14 days before we saw him. The presumptive diagnosis was "Kennel Cough", which is a complex consisting of bacteria as well as viruses. There are many cases of "Kennel Cough" every day in America that are treated with antibiotics.

A swab of the throat was obtained and using the Vet PlusLife Respiratory panel; Dr. Baldwin diagnosed a Parainfluenza infection, not a Bordetella infection. Parainfluenza is a part of the "Kennel Cough" complex and is a virus; unlike Bordetella, which is a bacterium. Parainfluenza will not respond to antibiotics, as it is a virus, and prescribing them would have not been appropriate.

Because of the Vet PlusLife Respiratory PCR panel, we were able to appropriately diagnose and manage a commonly seen syndrome!

Very important to keep your pets microchip registration information up to date!

On , we're sharing a few important reminders on the importance of microchips - such as:

➡ 1 in 3 family pets will get lost
➡ Microchipped dogs are more than twice as likely to be returned to their owners and microchipped cats are more than 20 times as likely to be returned to their owners

And remember - while microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolen…a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate. Visit avma.org/CheckTheChip to learn more.

NEW TESTING!!

We are excited to announce that Dr. Baldwin and Woodland Veterinary Center have been selected as 1 of 10 clinics in the nation to trail a new in-house PCR testing system! It is a great opportunity and honor to be selected by DVM Solutions, LLC and Pluslife-Vet to help bring this testing system to the American Veterinary Community.

This system allows us to help diagnose certain diseases by detecting nuclear material such as DNA to confirm the presence of the infectious agents.

Just recently, we had a dog present to us. He was positive for Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis (tick borne diseases) on our in-house Heartworm and Tick disease test. Because the Snap 4Dx test shows a positive result to these two diseases when a dog has been exposed to the infectious agents, we cannot assume that a positive result means the dog is infected. This brings us to the new Pluslife PCR tests. We tested the blood sample on our PCR cards for Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Babesia. The results came back NEGATIVE, meaning that the patient did not have a current infection for these organisms. No treatment was needed.

This is a wonderful advancement for our patients. In the past, we would have to send samples to the lab and wait 7-10 days for results to determine if we needed to start treatment. In this case, we are able to get results within a day!
