Winter Deworming

Don't forget to pick up your winter dewormer before January 1, 2012. All dogs and cats should be dewormed a minimum of four times a year in order to keep them healthy, and to prevent spread of parasites to you or your family. Dogs who have been on heartworm protection for the last six months should be dewormed at least twice during the winter months, as should outdoor cats. Indoor cats should be dewormed
every three months.

We don't get no respect

Statistics show that our feline friends are losing out when it comes to health care. Cat owners do not bring in their pets nearly as often as dog owners, and a huge percentage of cats in Canada never receive veterinary care. This may be due, in part, to perceived difficulties in getting Fluffy to said veterinarian, or to mental anguish on Fluffy's part. However, remember, cats are very good at hiding illness, and often do not appear very ill until they are at death's door. So give your favourite feline the care they deserve. Take them to the vet regularly, even if they are indoors only, and make sure that they live out all those nine lives!

Clinic Corner

Katie has had her baby! Violet was born by C-section Dec. 6 and weighed in at 8 lb 14 oz! She has been in to visit and declared gorgeous, and luckily so far is an easy baby, according to mom!

What's New Pussycat?

There is a new treatment for feline hyperthyroidism coming our way. It's a new diet that is restricted in iodine, so that the cat's body cannot form as much thyroid hormone, and it has done very well so far in clinical trials. It may not be right for every cat, but if it is, and your kitty likes it, it could mean an end to pills or ear gel!
