The American Animal Hospital Association has an article about West Nile Virus and your pet.
Welcome to Whitney's Online!
We have articles about pet care that we hope will help you to understand your pet's diagnosis, pages that show and explain orthopedic and other surgeries, ultrasound diagnostics, emergency first-aid tips, pet hazards to be aware of, fun ways to exercise with your pet, and treat recipes that you can make at home. We also have articles about traveling with and taking care of your Best Friend.
Well, our daytime temps are starting to fall. (It was 25° last night!) I haven't seen a mosquito for awhile, but the fleas and ticks are still going strong! Keep up the heartworm and flea prevention!
There were/are a lot of ticks this year! The extra rain encouraged a heavy crop to hatch and multiply. (Found one on my dog the other night. Just makes me imagine I can feel them crawling on me! Eewwee!) Take a moment and read up about Lymes Disease! This Extremely Serious Disease affects both humans and their pets! A little prevention can save you from this disease. Ticks will happily hitch a ride inside with your pet and transfer to you when you're sitting down for the evening.
Our Doctors recommend giving heartworm tablets all year for prevention of heartworm and other parasites. Also, don't discontinue your flea-prevention. Especially if you take your dog or cat with you to pet stores, training clubs, dog shows, or even the homes of other family members. You don't want to bring the little pests home with you. (How awkward would that be at the next family reunion?) Fleas carry tapeworm and other parasites and they try to ride along when your pets come inside; so they could be waiting for your little "walking lunch" to come along.
The last Puppy Social Hour was held on October 27! Dr. Baker has made plans to hold one more this year on the 4th Monday of November! Plan to attend with Your new puppy! Click Here for pictures!
