Tick season is in full swing! This little fella was found attached to the inner ear of a patient that was in for a surgical procedure this morning, yuck!
As the weather warms up, ticks become more active, increasing the risk of Lyme disease for pets and humans.

Symptoms of Lyme Disease in Pets – While some pets may not show any signs of infection, common symptoms include:
-Lethargy and fatigue
-Fever
-Loss of appetite
-Swollen lymph nodes
-Painful or swollen joints, leading to lameness
-Difficulty walking or shifting leg lameness.

If left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to more severe complications such as kidney disease, heart conditions, and neurological issues.

How to Prevent Lyme Disease – Preventing Lyme disease is easier than treating it. Here are some key steps to protect your pet:
-Year-Round Tick Prevention: Using veterinary-recommended flea and tick preventatives is one of the most effective ways to protect your pet.
-Regular Tick Checks: Check your pet for ticks after spending time outdoors, especially in wooded or grassy areas. Focus on places like the ears, neck, and between the toes.
-Vaccination: A Lyme disease vaccine is available for dogs.

Please reach out to our office if you would like any further information or if your pet is in need of prevention or the Lyme vaccine πŸ’š

Continuing Education is an important of what is required in Veterinary Medicine to maintain licensure.

Dr. Dixon and Dr. Pesavento had a great time attending the Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas last month. They spent time networking and learning new and vital information to help better serve our patients and clients.

In addition to their opportunity, Dr. Frocillo was busy attending the Midwest Veterinary Conference last week!
