Winter is a time of year when there is an increase in rodent activity inside and outside of homes. Be mindful when using rodenticides. There are several types of bait that can be purchased at stores, online, or used by pest control companies that result in serious toxicity. Baits can have similar appearances but contain different ingredients. If rodent baits are being used in our outside of the home, ensure pets cannot come in direct contact with blocks, pellets, or rodent boxes. If you believe your pet may have been exposed to a rodenticide, do not delay in contacting your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.

December has brought NEW research published on diet-associated DCM in dogs. This research was funded by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and the Department of Clinical Sciences at Oregon State University.

For those that aren't familiar, in 2018 the FDA began investigating unusual cases of a heart disease called Dilated Cardiomyopathy with a disproportionate representation of dogs fed grain-free diets and diets with peas and lentils. These dogs were breeds that do not typically develop DCM, and even more unusual, many of these dogs showed improvement or complete resolution with a diet change, even though DCM is typically a progressive, fatal disease even in the face of medication.

Since 2018, all kinds of reporting has circulated, including rumors that the FDA withdrew their investigation (they did not) and that the research was flawed and retracted (it was not).

This is the TWELFTH paper demonstrating the link in question.

In this study (Owens et al 2022), healthy adult dogs eating diets containing pulse legumes (peas, lentils, chickpeas, beans) as main ingredients had lower cardiac function and higher ventricular volume than dogs eating grain-inclusive diets without potatoes or pulses in the first 10 ingredients.

You can read my summary here: https://www.alltradesdvm.com/topics/diet-associated-dcm/dcm-articles/dec-2022-healthy-dog-measurements

And the open-access paper here: https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.16606

What do you feed your dogs?

After decades of wondering, an NPR reporter finally figures out how her husband's family dog knew when the school bus would arrive everyday. She did some digging — and now it all makes scents.

When you think of a veterinary hospital you think of the technicians and the doctors as hands on.

What you see is two CSRs waiting to hear an update on a critical patient outside of the exam room.

Please don’t ever forget about the Client Service Representatives. These absolutely VITAL members of our staff are the backbone of our hospital. They direct traffic, check on patients day in and day out, become the voice of reason for scared pet owners, and keep our hospital running smoothly. We could not do it without them.

More than that, they care so deeply for each and every patient that walks through the door. They remember the pets and you, the owner usually by just your phone number or seeing your face.

Please please please thank your CSRs for their help each and every time you speak with them. They mean the world to us.

❤️

Awesome job done by both Colleen and Dr McKenna. My cat was in and out within 15 minutes and did not have to get in the car to go to the vet. Will continue to use. Highly Recommend...🙏❤️🙏😻😻😻
Thank you Dr Lex McKenna for your dedication to providing exemplary veterinarian services now and always with the convenience of full vet services at our homes. You saved our dear sweet sassy Molly girl! You were readily available during this trying time for the World and quick to diagnosis the seriousness of Molly’s eye change. Without your dedication and commitment, our Molly girl would have continued to suffer. After the successful removal of the benign cancerous tumor, we have a happy healthy stubborn sassy labrador. Your assesment and recommendation saved our Molly girl! We are forever grateful❤️ We highly recommend you and your convenient mobile full veterinary practice to any and all of our friends and family.
Thank you 🙏🏻
You’ve been wonderful ❤️
Everytime I call they are never available or they say they don't go to my area by turnpike
Dr McKenzie is fabulous! During lockdown, for corona virus, they came out to our air BnB. It relieved my mind that my cat, Charlie, would be okay! They were kind, and efficient, while keeping in mind social distancing! Thank you!
