⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️
Last weekend, we learned that scammers are targeting pet owners with missing animals by impersonating our hospital.
Here's how the scam works:
Someone calls claiming to be from Westford Veterinary Emergency and Referral Center, saying they have your missing pet. They'll tell you the animal is injured and needs immediate surgery, then request payment through CashApp or Zelle.
While they may provide our real address to seem legitimate, we will NEVER request payment through these apps.
This happened to at least two pet owners last weekend. Fortunately, both were suspicious and contacted us directly to verify.
If you receive a call like this:
🔹 Hang up and call us directly at our official number
🔹 Do not send money through CashApp, Zelle, or any payment app
🔹 Report the incident to local authorities
Please share this warning with other pet owners in our community. These scammers are preying on people's love for their animals during an already stressful time.
Stay vigilant and stay safe! 🐾

Did you know dogs and cats have a third eyelid? It’s called the nictitating membrane, and it helps protect the eye and keep it moist.

But if you ever see it sticking out or covering part of the eye, it could signal an infection, injury, or cherry eye. If you notice changes in your pet’s eyes, it’s time for a vet visit!

As the weather cools, garages become busy spaces for fall prep, but they can hide dangers for cats. Antifreeze is especially hazardous, with even tiny amounts causing kidney failure, and pesticides, fertilizers, and sharp tools can also pose risks. Keep chemicals tightly sealed, clean up spills immediately, and keep cats out of the garage during seasonal projects—a little prevention goes a long way to keep your feline safe and cozy this fall. 🍂🐾

🚨 Is it an emergency? Ask yourself these 3 questions! 🚨

When your pet is acting strangely, it can be hard to know if it's a true emergency. Here are three key questions to help you decide:
❓ Is my pet having trouble breathing?
❓ Is my pet bleeding, unresponsive, or in extreme pain?
❓ Has my pet ingested something toxic or suffered trauma?

If the answer is YES to any of these, seek emergency care immediately! When in doubt, always call your vet. 🐾💙

🚨 Urgent Care Myth-Busting! 🚨

Just because your pet is eating doesn’t mean they’re okay! 🐶🐱 Pets instinctively hide pain, and serious issues can go unnoticed. Watch for changes in behavior, breathing, or energy levels—these could be signs of an emergency! 🚑🐾

Ever wonder about those crusty bits in your pet's eye corners? While occasional eye discharge is normal for both feline and canine companions, certain types might signal underlying issues that need attention.

Normal discharge appears as small, dry crusties that can be gently wiped away. For cats, clear discharge that occasionally forms in the corner of the eye is typically normal, while dogs might have slightly more noticeable morning "sleep." But if you notice yellow or green discharge, excessive tearing, redness, squinting, or changes in eye appearance in either cats or dogs, they could be experiencing allergies, conjunctivitis, a corneal ulcer, or another eye condition.

Certain breeds have unique considerations - Persian cats and brachycephalic dogs (like Pugs and Bulldogs) are particularly prone to eye issues due to their facial structure. Regular cleaning and monitoring are essential for these furry friends.

Clear eyes, happy pet! 👁️
