🦃 Thanksgiving Pet Safety Reminder! 🐾

While it might be tempting to share a little of your holiday feast with your furry friends, remember — even foods that are technically "safe" can upset their stomachs. Sudden diet changes or rich, fatty dishes can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or even pancreatitis, so it’s best to stick to their regular food and use this guide to avoid common Thanksgiving dangers. This is ESPECIALLY true for pets that have a history of GI issues such as HGE, Pancreatitis, or even just regular upset tummies.

A few extra tips for the busy holiday hustle:
• Secure your trash cans — pets have a knack for sniffing out leftovers that can make them sick, and we've seen a pet or 12 come in with tin foil, plastic wrap, and food-soaked napkins lodged in their stomachs!
• Create a “safe zone” if your pet gets anxious around guests, noise, or commotion and remember that not all dogs like visitors (especially children) if they're not used to it!
• Double-check collars and microchips — with doors opening often, it’s easy for curious pets to slip outside.

We hope you and your pets have a happy, healthy Thanksgiving full of love and no emergency vet visits (but we're just a phone call away if you need us)! 💛

🚨🐴 Important Equine Health Update 🐴🚨

We’ve had several questions lately about EHV-1, so we’re sharing a quick, easy-to-read breakdown to help keep our horse community informed and protected. Please take a moment to read and share with fellow horse owners!

What is EHV-1?
• Equine Herpes Virus AKA equine rhinopneumonitis ("rhino") AKA equine abortion virus
• A highly contagious virus that is passed via nasal secretions (nose touching, sharing buckets, sharing equipment, and horse-to-human-to-horse contact)
• This virus can spread very quickly and may even come from a horse who doesn't appear to be sick at the time
• Affects all equids (horses, ponies, donkeys, mules, etc.)
• There is no specific treatment or cure for this disease

What are symptoms of EHV-1?
• Fever: re**al temperature over 102°F
• Nasal discharge, coughing, swollen lymph nodes
• Lethargy
• Miscarriage in pregnant mares & death of young foals
• Neurologic signs: acting "off," stumbling, tail paralysis, going down

Who is at risk?
• Horses who travel to shows/events
• Horses who live in boarding facilities
• Foals and young horses
• Pregnant mares
• Horses coming from auctions
• Immune-compromised horses (such as those with Cushing's disease)

How to protect your horse:
• Make sure they are FULLY VACCINATED annually with their flu/rhino vaccine (twice a year for high-risk horses)
• Weigh risks vs. benefits of travel during this time
• Practice good biosecurity measures such as hand washing, avoid commingling with horses you do not know, and don't share water buckets/tack/etc.

How Salt Creek can help:
• Call us to schedule your horse for their annual vaccines, or to make sure they are up-to-date!
• Call us at the first signs of any of the symptoms listed above!

* Help create a positive, welcoming atmosphere that reflects our love for pets and their people

💬Who You Are:

* A natural extrovert who thrives on connecting with people
* Comfortable multitasking in a busy environment
* Detail-oriented and dependable with great communication skills

We’re so excited to offer Home Visits for your pets!

Designed for convenience and comfort, home visits allow your pet's veterinarian to come right to you. This is perfect for pets who get anxious at the clinic or owners with busy schedules!

These visits are for wellness care only, including:

🐾Routine exams

💉Vaccines

🔬Annual bloodwork

*Sick pets are still best seen at one of our clinics where diagnostic tools and treatment items are readily available.

Plus, once your pet’s annual vaccines and bloodwork are up to date, they’ll also qualify for our Virtual Visit service that we will be announcing in the near future!

For now, home visits are limited to our "East" clinics (Olney, Graham, Seymour) and their surrounding counties while we get the swing of things sorted out.

If you’re a client of one of our "West" clinics (Anson, Albany, Breckenridge) and are in need of a home visit, please give your local clinic a call and we’ll do our best to work something out for you in the meantime!

Call or text us to schedule a home visit or to learn more about how it works.
