I recently discovered the television show "K9/PD on the A&E channel. These highly intelligent and trained dogs are amazing. I have the privilege of working on some of them on a regular basis.
In particular, I can recommend Season 1, Episode 4 that shows the Escambia County, Florida K9 that jumped over 30 feet off a bridge to pursue a perpetrator that participated in a drive-by shooting.
These dogs regularly prevent the use of deadly force to apprehend suspects, diminish risk to officers and more that pay for themselves with drug and property seizures. Check it out.

Did you know that regular dental care isn’t just about keeping your pet’s breath fresh—it’s a major part of their overall health. Regular oral exams and teeth cleaning (both at home and professionally) helps prevent a cascade of problems that can affect far more than just the mouth. It prevents periodontal disease, protects internal organs by preventing bacteria from entering the bloodstream, reduces pain and tooth loss, and helps catch other health issues early. 🐾 ’sTime 😽🪥 🦷

Last week this handsome red-headed lad presented his hamster for treatment. The hamster had escaped his cage and been missing for a day. The family cat had been camped out in front the refrigerator staring at it all day.
The family finally figured out that the hamster was probably behind the fridge. There he was. Unfortunately he had chewed into the electrical cord and sustained a lip burn. Routine treatment should suffice.
Is the cat the hero? It was especially interesting to see the red-headed hamster with his re-headed person.

Dr. Duke was out on a farm call this week investigating the cause of lameness in a patient — and our client caught him hard at work.
After a thorough exam, the diagnosis was laminitis, a painful inflammatory condition affecting the hoof. Early intervention is key with cases like this, and we’ve started a treatment plan to keep this horse comfortable and on the road to recovery.
Dr. Duke will be heading back later this week for a recheck to monitor progress.
If you notice changes in your horse’s gait, stance, or comfort level, don’t wait — early evaluation makes all the difference. 🐎

Not only is Duke Animal Clinic a rewarding place to work with our mission to "Help Animals, Help People and Change the World".
It is also a fun place to work.
Friday was my 75th birthday and the staff feted me with moon pies, ice cream, lime sherbet floats and a chocolate cake. I only had to blow our 3 candles - one for every XXV.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to treat "Loosey Goosey" a Chinese goose, for acute lameness and superficial wounds associated with her being mauled by another critter.
"Loosey" is between 35 and 40 years old and lives with life-long male companion Chinese goose who I believe is named "Two-toned Tuxedo". "Loosey" is getting old and arthritic and can't run, fly or swim as fast as she could in her younger days.
Every country in the world has their own version of the domesticated goose. Most of the ones we see around here are descended from the grey goose. The Chinese goose owes its ancestry to the "k**b" goose. Note the nob on the forehead. Beautiful birds.

We are very flattered by all y'all who take an interest in what goes on behind scenes here at DAC. It is especially exciting when you share our postings.
Last Thursday, a Good Samaritan brought in a young female racoon that feasts on her patio. Somehow, this precocious and prehensile critter had managed to get two of her toes in a brass cylinder. After sedation and brief gas anesthesia, a dental bur was used to cut and remove what turned out to be a threaded ferrule, possibly a plumbing fitting? Below are pre-op, intra-op, ferrule, cleanup and go-home images. Enjoy.

In recent years I have heard of the breeding of Jacobin sheep. They seem to have been bred for hundreds of years in England, but many people claimed to trace their heritage to Jacob in the 30th chapter of Genesis. Numerous people in North America have been participating in the reintroduction of the sheep to the Holy Land.
They are spotted, have a frame like a goat, but have a sheep's wool and 4 -6 horns! A few days ago, I had the opportunity to treat a young kid that had been attacked by an unknown predator. My first Jacobin sheep patient.
Now, the spoiler. A statement from Israeli Agricultural Department.
Elisha Gootwine, a sheep expert at the Israeli Agriculture Ministry, says that the resemblance of a British breed to the Bible story is a coincidence, that the breed was not indigenous to ancient Israel, and that "Jacob Sheep are related to Jacob the same as the American Indians are related to India".
Anyway, read the 30th chapter of Genesis. It will do you good.

From the department of
"You Can't Make This Stuff Up".

Yesterday a Labrador Retriever was admitted with a large rusty nail embedded in her foot. Sedation, brief anesthesia, x-rays and the nail was removed. She came in on three legs and walked out on all 4 that afternoon with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication.
There is a dilapidated fence behind their house and apparently
she ran through some debris full speed and engaged the stray nail.
