⚠️ Early detection saves lives! 🐾 Here are 3 common signs of cancer in pets you should never ignore:
1️⃣ Lumps or bumps – Not all are cancerous, but any new or changing mass should be checked by your vet.
2️⃣ Unexplained weight loss – Sudden or gradual loss without diet change can be an early warning sign.
3️⃣ Low energy or appetite – A decrease in eating, activity, or interest in normal routines may signal an underlying issue.

👉 Regular check-ups and early detection give our furry friends the best chance at a long, healthy life. 💙🐶🐱

I am beyond frustrated with the inappropriate and excessive use of this drug for dogs in my profession. No, it's not Librela, or Apoquel. Not metronidazole or other antibiotics. Not NSAIDS or prednisone.

I'm talking about gabapentin.

Gabapentin, commonly known as gaba, is labelled for treatment of seizures and for neuropathic pain. It's thought to help with anxiety, but there is no proof that it does. It provides sedation, which many owners mistake for anxiety relief. Yet it is being used for everything from post-operative pain to soft tissue injury, often without the addition of true pain medications. Yes, I support thoughtful use of NSAIDs as well as other pain management strategies such as herbs, PEMF, laser, acupuncture, etc. An individualized, multimodal approach. What I cannot support is giving an ineffective, unproven drug and thinking you're managing your dog's pain.
