Spring is here! And with that comes a warning about Leptospirosis, a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria.

All dogs are at risk of leptospirosis, regardless of age, breed, lifestyle, geographic location, time of year, and other factors. The following situations can increase that risk:

➡Exposure to or drinking from slow-moving or stagnant water sources, like ponds, rivers, lakes, or streams
➡ Roaming on rural properties (because of exposure to potentially infected wildlife or farm animals or urine-contaminated water sources)
➡ Exposure to wild animals (especially rodents) or farm animals, even if in the backyard
➡ Contact with other dogs (such as in urban areas, dog parks, or boarding or training facilities)

There has been a lot of speculations pertaining to the safety of the Librela Injection. It has only been around a short amount of time in the United States. However, it has helped many elderly pets with their quality of life that come in to our hospital. As well as other pets who are struggling with arthritis pain. Below there is a link you can check out for more information. We hope this clears up any uncertainty and answers the questions you may have in regarding Librela.

Librela is a new pain management drug for canine osteoarthritis. Learn more about its advantages, limitations and when it is a suitable treatment option.

Dear Old Town Veterinary Family,

As a reminder it is a requirement for all dogs seen at our hospital to be current on the rabies vaccine. This is a California state law that all veterinarians are required to follow and ensures the safety of your pet, our team, and the public health. We are also now requiring all cats to be current on the Rabies vaccine for the same reason. There are some exceptions that will be at the discretion of the veterinarian. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our team.

We appreciate your understanding.

Sincerely,

Old Town Veterinary Hospital

Here is some good read about the Rabies Vaccine and it's importance for everyone's safety.

Hesitancy around vaccines has spilled over to pet owners, sparking concern about the resurgence of rabies, a virus that's nearly always fatal.

Everyday we strive to take great care of our patients. Some moments are heartbreaking. Other moments are in celebration of a new fur baby. Either way we are always here for our clients and always will be. We have welcomed Crews, Mookie, and Ollie this week so far into our family! xoxo!
