Happy National Cat Day to our pawffice manager Toast! 🍞🥂
We appreciate how knowledgeable he is with tech support, and he always fixes our issues in a timely fashion. He excels in leaving his fur everywhere, harassing us for wet food all day, and letting us cuddle him when we reallyyyy need the extra love (only on his terms though)🐾💕

Have you ever heard of a pyometra? 🐾

A "pyometra" is a serious bacterial infection of the uterus that can occur in unaltered (or not spayed) female dogs and cats. This can become life-threatening quickly.

Signs you may notice at home can include:
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Increased thirst or urination
• A swollen or painful abdomen
• Vaginal discharge

But here’s the tricky part-not every pet with a pyometra will have visible discharge.

If your pet isn’t acting like herself and you’re concerned something may be wrong, don’t wait to have her checked. We see and surgically treat pyometras regularly here at Lava Rock Veterinary Hospital and are here when you need us. 🏥🧡

Curious to see what a pyometra actually looks like?

👇 Check the comments to see a side-by-side comparison of a normal canine uterus and an infected uterus we surgically removed at Lava Rock.

September 28th is World Rabies Day! 🐾

One of the best ways to protect your pets, your family, and your community is to make sure your pets stay up to date on their rabies vaccination. 💉

While Lava Rock doesn’t provide routine vaccinations, we’re here when the unexpected happens. If your pet has a bite wound or possible exposure to wildlife that has been affected, our team can evaluate them and help you determine the appropriate next steps.

Prevention matters and keeping your pet’s rabies vaccine current is an important part of keeping everyone safe. ❤️

Meet Miso! 🐱💕

Miso is an approximately 5-month-old dilute tortoiseshell who came to us with conjunctivitis and needed a little help feeling like herself again.

We’ve loved being part of her care and watching her improve! Now that she’s feeling better, this spunky girl is ready for her next chapter in finding her FUREVER home! 🏡🐾

Interested in adopting Miso? Contact PAWS at 435-688-9748 for more information. PAWS (Providing Animals With Support)
