Posting again because this season is Crazy! There are so many caterpillars!

IT'S CATERPILLAR SEASON.
& y'all have been calling.

So, we wanted to share some general tips directly from our veterinarians if your baby steps on a buck moth caterpillar.

*For the most part, pets will bounce back with nothing! It's usually only painful for a few minutes for them.*
- Use scotch tape to remove any spines. Dab the tape on the area.
-Run some cool water over the paw. Dry the area. Apply hydrocortisone cream. BUT make sure your baby doesn't lick that cream. You can put a cone on them or take them on a short walk until the cream has soaked in.

If the pain does not subside within an hour, or you see substantial swelling, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by phone or email!

Sincerely,
MCVH TEAM
