It’s that time of year in California when foxtails start showing up in dry grasses and trails. These little grass awns are barbed on the end and only move one way, towards the body. They can work their way into paws, ears, eyes, noses, and even lungs. Foxtails cause discomfort and cause infections. If they end up in the ears, nose, or around the eye, sedation can be required to safely remove the foxtail. We've already seen a few cases this spring and as the grasses get drier we know we'll see more pets coming in with foxtails.

Watch for signs like:
⚠️Sudden, rapid sneezing or head shaking
⚠️Red, swollen paws or limping
⚠️Excessive licking at one spot
⚠️Eye squinting or discharge

👀 Check your pet after every walk. If you frequently let your pet go off-leash while hiking and want some added protection you can get a foxtail face mask to wear while out on the trails.

Spring is blooming—and so is the pollen. It's in the air, on your windshield, and turning eyes red and itchy for humans and pets.🌸​ 🤧​
Just like us, pets can have allergies to pollen, grasses, dust mites, and mold.

Some common signs are:
Sneezing
Licking paws
Red eyes
Excessive scratching
Hair loss

Fortunately, we can help bring some relief to your pet! Depending on your pets needs, we offer oral medicine, monthly allergy injections, or even allergy testing. Make an appointment with one of our doctors, and we can come up with a custom treatment plan for your pet.

As Easter approaches, beware of this beautiful but deadly tradition: Easter lilies. These flowers may look festive, but they are highly toxic to cats—even a small nibble can lead to kidney failure.

⚠️ All parts of the plant are poisonous from pollen to the stem

🚨Signs of lily poisoning include:
– Vomiting
– Lethargy
– Loss of appetite
– Increased or decreased urination

🐾 If you think your cat has come into contact with a lily, call your vet immediately—quick treatment leads to better outcomes.

This Easter, choose pet-safe blooms like roses, snapdragons, or orchids instead. Let’s keep our feline friends safe while we celebrate! 💐🐾

🐾 🦷As dogs get older, dental disease can quietly do serious damage—including hidden infections, bone loss, and loose teeth.

😳 Did you know? By age 3, over 80% of dogs show signs of dental disease—and it only gets worse without care.

✨️Regular dental cleanings and checkups can help your dog keep their smile strong for years to come!

👀 Can you spot the difference?

🚨🐾 Bladder Stones 🐾🚨
Uroliths (bladder stones) are mineral formations that can cause pain, frequent urination, and even blockages in dogs and cats.

Nimitz Southbound, an 11 year old Domestic Short Hair, presented with frequent trips to the litter box and hematuria (bloody urine). Abdominal radiographs showed he had multiple stones in his bladder. Dr. Press performed a surgery called a cystotomy to remove the stones. Nimitz has fully recovered and is doing great!

⚠️Symptoms to watch for:
Straining to urinate
Blood in urine
Frequent accidents
Licking at the urinary area

Left untreated, bladder stones can lead to serious complications! Treatment may include special diets, medication, or surgery depending on the type and severity.

If your pet is showing signs of urinary trouble, give us a call as soon as possible 🩺🐶🐱

We had the incredible privilege of working alongside the veterinary team at the California Academy of Sciences, and what an unforgettable experience it was! 💚

Dr. Freeland Dunker and his team (including a former MPH intern rockstar) brought one of their African Penguins to us for a CT scan, suspecting he had arthritis. 🐧

Thanks to Dr. Dunker and everyone for their care and dedication to these endangered penguins, including Mission Pet in their care and for sharing their expertise.
