November is National Pet Diabetes Month 🩸🐾

Did you know that diabetic pets can develop a life-threatening emergency called Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)? DKA occurs when diabetes becomes uncontrolled, leading to severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and the buildup of dangerous ketones in the body.

Common signs may include: 🔹 Increased thirst and urination
🔹 Loss of appetite
🔹 Vomiting
🔹 Lethargy or weakness
🔹 Weight loss

Learn more about DKA and its warning signs here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&catId=254068&id=4952917

At Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services (REVS), we are here to support your diabetic pets when urgent or emergency care is needed. Whether your pet has been recently diagnosed, is experiencing complications, or requires emergency treatment for DKA, our team is available to provide compassionate, expert care when every minute matters.

This National Pet Diabetes Month, help us spread awareness and ensure diabetic pets receive the care they need to live happy, healthy lives. ❤️🐾

Ketoacidosis is one of the most extreme complications of diabetes mellitus that can be experienced. Unfortunately, most cases of ketoacidosis are in patients who were not previously known to be diabetic so the owner and pet must deal with two serious diagnoses at the same time.

We'd like to introduce Jack, one of our amazing patients! ❤️

Jack came to our Emergency Room after being diagnosed with bladder stones. His loving owners were concerned because they were unable to tell if he was urinating normally, so they brought him in for evaluation and care.

After meeting with one of our knowledgeable technicians, Jack was able to return home to await surgery. We're happy to report that he has since had his bladder stones successfully removed and is now living his best, stone-free life! 🎉

Stories like Jack's remind us why we love what we do. We are grateful to have been part of his journey and are thrilled to see him happy, healthy, and enjoying life with his wonderful pet parents.

Please join us in celebrating Jack's recovery! 🐹💙

🐾 September is Pet Pain Awareness Month 🐾

Our pets can't tell us when they're hurting, but they do communicate with us in other ways. This month, take a few moments to learn the signs and symptoms of pain in pets so you can recognize when they may be in distress.

Changes in behavior, decreased activity, limping, hiding, loss of appetite, or even subtle shifts in mood can all be your pet's way of saying something isn't right. As their caregivers, it's our job to listen with our eyes and hearts.

Please take a moment to review the information in this article and become familiar with the signs of pain. Early recognition can make a world of difference in your pet's comfort, health, and quality of life.

❤️ They can't speak to tell us, but we can observe to listen.

🌡️ Dangerous heat is in the forecast this week, and pets are counting on us to keep them safe.

When temperatures soar, even a short walk or a few extra minutes outside can put your pet at risk for heatstroke or burned paw pads.

Follow the walk guide below and remember:
• Walk during the early morning or late evening whenever possible.
• Always bring fresh water and take plenty of breaks.
• Test the pavement with the back of your hand. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for their paws.
• Never leave a pet in a parked car, even for a minute.
• Watch for signs of overheating, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse.

If it's too hot outside, swap the walk for indoor enrichment, a puzzle toy, or a game of fetch down the hallway. Your pet will thank you!
