One dog helping another dog out!
Tobi, a handsome golden retriever owned by our veterinary technician Lissa, bravely donated his blood to help out a patient with a corneal ulcer!
Corneal ulcers in dogs and cats are known to be very painful. Some dogs’ eyelids can be nearly impossible to open because of the pain. Often we use autologous serum as treatment for corneal ulcers. 👁
To obtain autologous serum we take a blood sample from the patient or another dog or cat known to be healthy. 💉🩸
That blood sample is then centrifuged or spun to separate the blood cells from the liquid components of the blood. The resulting serum is then applied via syringe drops- two or three times each day until the lesion is healed.
What a good, brave boy, Tobi! ⭐️

What is Xylitol?

It is a sugar substitute found in many “sugar-free” products such as chewing gum, mints, toothpaste, candy, vitamins, and even in some peanut butter! It is EXTREMELY toxic to dogs. 🍬🍭

Clinical signs of Xylitol poisoning may include: Vomiting, weakness, tremors, seizures, coma.

ALWAYS check the label for xylitol before giving your dog human food. Avoid keeping sugar-free products, or products that contain xylitol in the house. If your pet ingests xylitol, call the Animal Poison Control Center and bring them directly to the emergency vet.

#NationalPetPoisonWeek Another common poison case that is seen in vet med are pets that have gotten into rat poison or mouse poison, also known as rodenticides! 🐀❌

Dogs/Cats often sniff out the bait, and/or often end up eating a rodent that has ingested poison.

When your pet eats rat bait, it is very important to be sure of what type of rat poison they have eaten. There are 3 common ingredients in rat poisons- each requiring different treatment, so knowing which type your pet got into is critical.

Rodenticides can either cause bleeding, seizures or kidney failure depending on the type that was ingested.
It is IMPORTANT to note that pets may not show immediate symptoms.

If you suspect your pet may have eaten rodenticide call your veterinarian OR head straight to the nearest veterinary emergency hospital. Gather all the information you can about the rat poison: take a picture of the packaging and ingredients list.

If you have pests at home, please look into pet-safe alternatives to rodenticides. It’s not worth the risk! 🪤

Let’s talk about Lilies! 💐 They are beautiful plants, however they are highly toxic to your cat!!

ALL parts of the Lily plant are poisonous to your cat. If your cat ingests one or two leaves, or even a small amount of pollen while grooming her fur, they can suffer severe kidney failure.
Tiger lilies, day lilies, and Asiatic lilies are popular in many gardens, and bouquets.

Some signs of Lily toxicity include vomiting, lethargy, excessive thirst. As symptoms worsen some cats will experience drooling, disorientation, and seizures.

If your kitty friend ingests parts of a Lily, please call your veterinarian or Animal Posion Control Center immediately!

Better yet, keep them out of your house and don’t gift them to cat households.🙅🏽‍♀️

Happy Pet Dental Month!

🦷Oral health is just as important in animals as it is in humans.
🪥Regularly brushing your pet’s teeth is the most effective thing you can do to keep their teeth healthy!
🩺Early detection of your pet’s dental disease is vital. If left untreated, it will progress to chronic pain and inflammation.
