People often ask us why we recommend spaying/neutering dogs. The obvious reason is so that you don’t end up with unwanted puppies.

Another, sneakier, reason is that it prevents your dog from getting a uterine infection called pyometra. That’s Latin for pus in the uterus…

Female dogs usually come into heat approximately every six months, and that heat cycle lasts about three weeks, from start to finish. During the heat cycle, if she is bred, s***m get up into the uterus to do their job and make puppies. There is a potential for bacteria to get up into that uterus as well, unfortunately. If that happens, you won’t really see anything different… initially…

Eventually, as the infection gets worse, anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month or so after her heat cycle ended, she will begin to show signs of this infection. What will she look like? She could be drinking/urinating much more than normal, vomiting, off her food, and possibly have a nasty discharge from her v***a (girl parts 😉). That makes it easy to make the diagnosis, and is called an ‘open pyometra’. It get tricky when the pus is trapped in the uterus without any obvious discharge. Then X-rays and blood work can help us.

This X-ray shows the enlarged uterus taking up space in the abdomen, where it risks rupturing. We take the dog to surgery to remove the pus filled uterus and usually they have a complete recovery. That second picture is what that uterus looks like after removal! Yuck

The moral of this story is, if you have an intact female dog, always keep track of when her heat cycle happens. And if she starts acting sick within a few weeks, bring her in for an exam. And the best prevention is to have her spayed.

Got your attention with these yummy pics, eh?

Seriously, your cat’s litter box is a wealth of information if you take the time to look…

If you use the typical clumping cat litter, you can look at how many and how big the clumps of urine-soaked litter is. The average cat urinates enough to make a clump about the size of a clementine orange a few times daily. If you are finding many smaller clumps that could indicate an infection, or if there is NO clumps of urine that could indicate your cat may not be urinating at all! Male cats can develop enough crystalline sludge that they cannot urinate. That is a life threatening emergency. If the litter is suddenly soaked everyday, that could indicate kidney problems or even diabetes

The fun doesn’t stop there…Looking at the p**p in the box can show whether they have diarrhea, or if they are actually constipated. That would be a real bummer… Seriously, constipation can be a very serious problem and may require medical intervention. Diarrhea can be cause by a multitude of problems from parasites to intestinal cancer.

How often should you be looking at your cat’s box? At least once daily! Scoop out the p**ps and check the sizes of those p*e clumps. Then add a little more of fresh litter and mix it in. You will make your cat very happy, if you keep their box clean.

So what if you have two cats? You should have at least one litter box per cat, even if they both seem to use only one at a time… cats don’t like having to share their toilet space, and can get a little grumpy. How can you tell? They will urinate/defecate in your closet or some other space… so you don’t wanna make them grumpy!

So bottom line is clean those boxes daily and pay attention to what you are seeing. Call the hospital if you see anything unusual or see a change that you can’t explain.

Happy litter Boxing Day!

I bet your pet’s eyes do not look like these, but the appearance of all eyes is very important!

Your pet’s eyes should be clear and moist in appearance. The sclera (the white part) should be white with very tiny blood vessels visible. The cornea (the clear part on the front) should be clear, moist, and not look cloudy or bloody. If your dog or cat is squinting, or the lids look puffy or they are scratching at their eye, you need to prevent them traumatizing it further (put a cone on them) and get them in to see the vet as soon as possible. With an extreme injury, where you think your pet’s eye may have popped out of its socket, keep it moist, keep it covered and call right away!
Corneal scratches, ulcers, inflammation (uveitis), cataracts or glaucoma are just some of the issues that can happen.

Eyes really are the windows to the soul, so keep ‘an eye on them’!

‘‘Tis the season…’

To get Parvo?? Huh??

Yes, Parvovirus is a potentially deadly virus that is highly contagious between dogs and can even be passed through the f***s of an affected dog. Yuck. I know, you would never let your dog eat another dogs pooh, right? But if your dog even steps in the diarrhea of an affected dog and then licks their feet, they can become infected.

Parvo is a nasty virus that affects quick growing cells, like those in the intestinal tract and the bone marrow. So the most common signs include vomiting and bloody diarrhea. In younger puppies, the heart muscle can also become affected by the virus.

There are tests that can check for the virus, but that is only the first step. If your dog has Parvovirus gastroenteritis, their intestinal cells are being attacked and damaged very quickly. This leads to extreme dehydration, as well as electrolyte loss because of the diarrhea. Even previously healthy, robust dogs can die from dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Blood work is usually done to check for the electrolyte levels, blood counts and level of dehydration. Many dogs will need antibiotics, IV fluids and to be hospitalized.

The real danger is that this is a very contagious, easily passed virus condition. If you think you may know a dog who is infected, KEEP YOUR DOG AWAY! If you think YOUR dog has it, call the hospital to get them checked. After handling your dog, or their pooh, wash hands very well before handling any other dogs. Use a good disinfectant product to clean any areas where your dog has vomited or had diarrhea.

Is there any good news?

As a matter of fact, there is! There is a simple vaccine that can prevent Parvo, or lessen the severity of disease if contracted. Puppies usually get it along with their three boosters. Adult dogs need to get two boosters if they were not vaccinated as puppies. If yours is not up to date on their vaccines, please call to arrange their annual check up and booster vaccines.
