Ma*****na toxicosis in pets is real, usually not life threatening and very common since the legalization of this product. Please keep your products out of the reach of your pets. And... if they get that glazed look, start to stumble about and dribble a bit of urine, we are only a phone call away. http://trk.petpoisonhelpline.com/ls/click?upn=u001.8E6iwn2VNasNcLYuGLZs9lhQi51IneOLO4s3-2F8mOOZg5l-2BQzhuK5ZWeooBwDgYm-2FKkc6zxz-2FgbjHYuulI-2F20NlEIt62aXK9OTs-2FEdMFeNKnTiKLcommpSSvF3g62uZJ7fSP4ZbfUjM5Q-2BMTZ2JoW4-2FtYXDJNN8BT91PFrdXYbyEgYr5ROboIE4q6-2FFVre6qwCGNosScf5NA0bDXigy8gBp1qmeIOCqE8V3NioCsZzZMgh6JqAvOhBT0IUUvfZ22wm1HQMMpKIzPFy8ZcjqVk3g-3D-3DoYAR_1e-2BFfM2sZAYuFzFkPCCgtCv2hblF-2BOIknpW4XyP9IsIgspyy5Gk1ApWd3x5SBlt2JJBS0gURgOCECe848VcPukqGmsBZQuf-2B43-2Bjl9-2FIr-2BQcRbxMc2nuPm-2F9aRAzj-2ByjqmYTSm7uE3srMv0UrGAE4AWhRuVt-2F5Z2-2BV4n3FXFwTCRDjftBeb8Jp6Fl-2F1HU91w-2F7-2BmokymMorPh9gbbiyyGmFaHOCDCx4oFfwSsgtRcFHYa3eNjeQ7ju-2FtrU1ugLDdEryi9o01ZngxEHNKSaCbaRQnw-2FQfBh1M1HVL00jbN0c01kFNhreJPKf-2FyHlkNbZKIzPIc8j3R3yXVXnsd92AI1kLLpnLeFMFyQ6LF8yIwz27x4BR4FDOf-2Fvzq02oUGOJidRdMRsEQ43qCzTLOAdN9MzMnQfgSzK2tljH1HJts5dLAjfEAcfA1Z2P-2F3-2FI5etubLXK9N4nig2l44cCGWCjt8P4r7LNrAQqoz-2FOtp7y2r9lsWkfVQd1BRcSbnlJDf77nYemoMCbdhUPpiv2Nez07eXwOha8IHKFag6mP-2FrbeCSk2R2ksVswY2X-2FUV7tje1f

True. This wildlife reservoir of canine distemper is why we recommend this vaccine for dogs even when they don’t have lots of exposure to other dogs.

This is something we see often— raccoons curled up with their heads pressed against the ground, their eyes shielded from sunlight.

To well-meaning bystanders, it’s easy to project human experiences onto these situations. People assume they’re frightened, cold, or even depressed. Unfortunately, the reality is usually far worse than that.

Animals head-press when they have terrible headaches. Ever have a sinus headache and felt a little better when pushing the heal of your hand against your forehead? Head-pressing is a lot like that.

Raccoons rarely have severe headaches for benign reasons. In the best-case scenarios, head-pressing in a raccoon is a sign of a bad concussion. In the worst cases, it is a symptom of inflammation in the spine and/or brain, caused by a viral infection.

Canine distemper is the most common infectious cause of head-pressing in raccoons. In fact, out of nearly 100 patients we’ve seen with head pressing as a symptom, every single one was suffering from canine distemper.

If you see a raccoon pressing its head against the ground, please do not touch or approach it, but contact your local animal control, game wardens, or wildlife rehabilitators for assistance.

I have always said a cat doesn’t need to do or say anything to get their point across. They have….. the stare. No one messes with a cat who looks like this or you WILL get the pointy parts. No need to growl. Cats are too cool for that. And if you miss this silent but deadly message, don’t go complaining you had no warning. Clearly your mamma didn’t teach you right. (All the best mom’s have this look in their playbook)

So blessed to have gotten to know this adorable girl and her forever family. ❤️ To say our hearts are broken and heavy for them is an understatement. She was the best of girls. Goodbye Annabelle. We loved you too.

This may be a sad post, but an important message to share about rescue and the amazing people involved.

A year and a half ago we took in a Golden Retriever puppy from a breeder who could not sell her. It was reported she had a heart condition, to which we didn't know the extent. Our amazing vet team acted fast and got this puppy, named Annabelle, the care she needed immediately.

Annabelle had a terminal heart condition, with multiple different issues. Thankfully, an adopter came forward fully knowing Annabelle would be a hospice dog, something that is made extra difficult when you see a beautiful and lively little puppy.

Annabelle was loved and lived her life to the fullest. This hospice pup kept defying the odds, growing and being the happiest girl. While no dog lives forever, we kept hoping Annabelle would be the rare case who got to live her full dog life with her amazing family. Unfortunately this was not the case and today, just shy of her 2nd birthday, Annabelle passed.

While we are extremely heartbroken, we can't help but also feel grateful. Annabelle only knew the very best. She got to play, explore and was the center of the world to the people who loved her so very much.

We know she is running zoomies over the rainbow bridge, something that was so hard for her to do here on earth. Thank you to the family who adored her and all those out there who take on the extra tricky pets. We could't do what we do with out you 🌈

"HPAI is a deadly disease for poultry. It can infect chickens, turkeys, domestic waterfowl, and game birds. HPAI can strike suddenly and spread quickly. Infected poultry may become sick and/or die within hours of becoming infected. The virus can be spread by contact with infected birds or contaminated materials."
If you believe your birds are ill, please let us know.
https://www.mass.gov/info-details/avian-influenza

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), which very rarely infects humans, is suspected to be the cause of over 60 deceased Canada geese, swans, and other birds in Plymouth.

⚠️ Avoid handling wildlife, especially birds that are dead or appear sick
⚠️ Report if you observe 5 or more dead birds
⚠️ Keep pets away from wildlife (Cats are highly susceptible to HPAI and should be kept indoors to prevent exposure to infected wildlife)

With the weather getting so chilly, please don't forget to give your monthly heartworm preventives. With our weather being so variable with 17 degree days sometimes mixed in with 50 degree days, it is hard to know when the mosquitos will be hatching and spreading their mayhem (heartworm disease). The best plan is to use your preventives every 30 days, ALL YEAR ROUND! Don't give those worms a chance to infect your dogs.
