Just definitively diagnosed my first case of active anaplasmosis ! Pup had very high fever, and very low platelets. Happily, his parents called us quickly and he is responding to doxycyline. There is no vaccine for this disease so you must have your pets on tick prevention! Anaplasmosis - Veterinary Partner - VIN

Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease. Two forms of anaplasmosis are known: granulocytic anaplasmosis and infectious cyclic thrombocytopenia.A dog can have both infections at the same time

Second one I found today!
I hate them!!

Your preventatives aren’t broken!

This is a very common time for an increase in ticks, but do make sure they are up-to-date on their protection!

2nd to last step in the process of becoming a certified hospice and palliative care veterinarian is attending this online conference by International Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care. Love being surrounded by like-minded vets, I always learn something. (The last step is writing a paper so that may take a minute 🤣)

We are live! IAAHPC's Innovate with Intention conference has officially kicked off, opening with a keynote from Dr. Andy Roark to set the tone for three days of learning, connection, and inspiration.

There's still time to join us. With up to 57 hours of RACE and CVPM approved CE available, including sessions on end of life and euthanasia, pain management, complex cases, rehab and mobility, and more, this is the kind of hospice and palliative care education veterinary teams don't often get in one place. Plus you get 30 days of access to watch anything you can attend live this weekend.

Very important story about the corporatization of vet medicine.
Proud to be independent myself and relieved to be able to refer to privately owned practices most of the time thanks to Vergennes Animal Hospital and Middlebury Animal Hospital.

☀️🐾 Summer Safety Reminder: Cyanobacteria Awareness 🐾☀️

As the weather warms up, many of us are heading to the water with our pups. Unfortunately, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) can pose a serious risk to pets. Keep an eye out for warning signs posted near lakes and ponds, and if your pet seems “off” after swimming — vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, drooling, difficulty walking, or seizures — seek veterinary care immediately.

One helpful way to keep your pets safe this summer is by checking the Cyanobacteria Interactive Map monitored by the Vermont Department of Health before heading out for a swim. While the map relies heavily on self-reporting and may not always be 100% up to date, it can still be a useful tool when deciding where to bring your dog to swim safely.

Stay safe and enjoy summer adventures responsibly! 💙
