"Wutwuzzat?" I had a #parasitology professor who joked that he thinks domestic #cats and #dogs act funny about sound because they evolved to hear over the noise of mites and other critters that infest mammal ears in the wild. #parasites are better controlled in our #pets when we use #prevention products, so now they hear so much more. That or ghosts, anyway.
THIS DOG I SWEAR
Bash has enjoys the benefits of no longer being a street dog. A recent study showed that the amount of money a pet owner will spend on their pet for treatment before euthanizing varies, among other things, by whether the pet sleeps outside, in the garage, in the house, or in the bed. Where does your pet sleep? . . . . . #dogs #cute #cutedogs #pets #euthanasia #peteuthanasia
Little miss dental patient spent all day talking at me from her kennel while I entered medical records. She had several loose incisors and one loose molar removed today. She'd cock her head side to side each time I replied. Remember that dogs and cats need dental care just like humans. Daily brushing or at least daily dental chews. Check in with your vet every year, minimum, to detect the problem early, especially in small breed dogs. If a full dental cleaning is needed, anesthesia is a must to perform a safe, effective, thorough cleaning & dental examination. Avoid non-anesthetic dentals, which make the teeth look better without making the pet healthier, as well as missing important problems and taking significant risk in the process. Pets handle dental extractions well - they still eat and they have less risk of complications and pain down the line. In a couple weeks, this patient will be much more comfortable without the loose teeth. #cats #dogs #vet #veterinary #dentistry #dental #health #preventivecare

Bash has learned how to manipulate his humans.

This ADORABLE AND HAPPY little beastling is a mini Australian shepherd that'll probably stay under twenty pounds. Aussies tend to be very bright, active dogs that need tons of exercise and stimulation. Many "behavior problems" I treat stem from a poor pet-owner match. If you're planning to get a pet, make sure you choose one that matches your lifestyle, otherwise both of you will suffer. . . . . . #pets #petsofig #petsofinsta #petsofinstagram #dogs #puppies #cute #adorable #aussie #australianshepherd #vet #veterinary #veterinarian
I just feel like this photo says a lot about where my life is right now. Take from that what you will. . . . . #scotch #cats #catsofinstagram #pets #petsofinstagram #petsonfurniture #furniture #turntable #redwood
SO FUN hosting cocktails last night. I'm excited to have our furniture in a more sociopedal configuration.
Best job ever 🤗 Protect your little ones from preventable diseases - vaccinate and use relevant preventatives. I love snuggling these little ones rather than treating or euthanizing for parvo, leptospirosis, heartworm, and others. This little beast deserves not to itch his whole life from fleas! . . . #cute #dogs #dogsofinstagram #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #pets #petsofinstagram #vet #vetlife #ilovemyjob #bestjobever #veterinary #medical #medicine #vaccines #doctor #veterinarian #disease
So my mom hung out with me and @mortuaryreport and their mom and I got nearly sentimental enough to barf Hallmark cards. #family
I had the pleasure of working with @mailittlegolden yesterday! Unfortunately, she injured her eye, probably while being a happy #dog and running through some bushes 😄 What we're seeing is an ulcer on the surface (#cornea) of the right #eye. We've stained it with a dye that binds to deeper layers of the cornea that aren't normally exposed and glows under blacklight. Corneal ulcers are common in #dogs and #cats and usually cause squinting, redness, runny eyes, and cloudiness where fluid accumulates around the ulcer. Pain can cause the eye to retract, causing the third eyelid to rise and cover the cornea until healed. If the #pet can't scratch at it to make it worse, it doesnt get infected, and it only affects the upper layers of the cornea, they heal fully within 7 days. Treatment is an antibiotic eye drop, oral antiinflammatory medication, and the cone of health/shame (e-collar). Red arrow = bound stain indicating injury. Purple arrow = stain accumulated in tear film (normal). Yellow arrow = dye that's travelled through the tear duct into the nasal passage (normal).
Happy Easter from me and the nieces!
@alwayscoffee7 I am nothing if not eager to please
