Porcupine season is here, which means more standoffs between pups and wildlife. Unfortunately for pups, porcupines usually have the upper hand in these battles, leaving behind hundreds to thousands of quills embedded in their opponents. 🦔 On top of causing pain, the barbed ends of quills allow them to migrate through animals. In some cases, migrating quills can hit vital organs and cause fatal damage.

Enjoying the great outdoors? Remember to leash your pup and keep them in eyesight, especially in wooded areas. Dogs may think they can take on these spiky friends, but they rarely ever come out on top!

GENEROSITY AND COMPASSION AT ITS BEST

On Tuesday, our dog Maple was showing a very mild lameness in his right front leg. X-rays showed a bone tumor (osteosarcoma) on the distal radius, a bone in the leg. Just 3 days later, the tumor had doubled in size and Maple was not bearing weight on the leg.

After careful evaluation by and consultation with oncologists, a radiologist, and an orthopedic surgeon, we decided to amputate the limb and start Maple on chemotherapy.

Without aggressive treatment, osteosarcoma shows rapid progression and death in a matter of weeks to months. With his leg amputated, the long road to rehabilitation is beginning.

We would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts,
Dr. Mark Saunders (Radiologist), Dr. Courtney Zwahlen (oncologist at Peak Veterinary Referral Center), Dr. Michael Childress (oncologist at Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital), and Dr. Jacob Helmick at Veterinary Surgery of Vermont, who immediately responded to the call and showed so much compassion and care to our Maple.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to Dr. Jacob Helmick, who took time out of his Friday to come and perform the surgery with us at Sugar Maple Veterinary Center. Your generosity and kindness will always be remembered.

And, as always, THANK YOU to all our staff who stayed and supported Maple throughout this journey.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has provided an important update on New World Screwworm which has been detected in a bovine in Zavala County, Texas. Read the full press release here: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/usda-confirms-presence-new-world-screwworm-united-states

General information about New World Screwworm (NWS) can be found in the text below and in the attached infographic.

The adult screwworm fly is about the size of a common housefly (or slightly larger), with orange eyes, a metallic blue or green body, and three dark stripes along its back. It gets its name from the behavior of its larvae (maggots) as they burrow (screw) into the wound, feeding as they go. The maggots (larvae) cause extensive damage by tearing at the hosts’ tissue with sharp mouth hooks. The wound can quickly become enlarged and deeper as more maggots hatch and feed on living tissue.

Because they feed on live flesh, NWS maggots may burrow deep into wounds or openings, while other species of maggots may appear around the outer surface of the wound. In addition, even the smallest wounds have the potential to attract flies, so it is imperative that you keep a close eye on your animals for any signs of wounds.

Lastly, NWS infestations are a reportable disease! Immediately report any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations to a local accredited veterinarian, your State Animal Health Official, or a USDA veterinarian.
