Wellness Wednesdays

Welcome to another instalment of Wellness Wednesdays, where we feature a new MerryVeterinary Clinic in this beautiful province of BC every week on (you guessed it,) Wednesdays.

Today, we’d like to introduce you all to Pacific Cat Clinic in Victoria, Vancouver Island. They would like to to share Merry.

” Merry was with our adoption program and returned to us with a broken leg. Unable to pay for surgery she was surrendered to us by her owner and became the unofficial “clinic cat”. She has since been living with one of our staff members who kennel rested her and did physiotherapy on her for two months. She comes in . . . → Read More →

Wellness Wednesdays

At Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic, located at 101B 45793 Luckakuck Way in Chilliwack BC, They have a permanent resident, Lily, who came to our clinic after becoming acutely paralyzed in her hind end at only 8 weeks old.  As there is no known treatment to improve her condition quickly she became the newest member of our team here at Cottonwood Clinic. We all love her and are not looking for an adoptive home. We purchased a cart for her and she is quickly learning to maneuver and get around with her cart.  The cart will prevent the back legs from losing muscle mass and hopefully give her spinal cord opportunity to regenerate and perhaps re-gain some use. She is continuing to make great gains. . . . → Read More →

Age is not a disease!

Every day we have new customers call us, saying their dog is having mobility issues, their cat needs an amputation, or they just need some assistance.

Every day, I have people tell me “He’s 14, I know thats old”. I always ask people “does he still look at you the same? Does his tail wag, and does she purr, even if she can’t move?” When they answer yes to those questions, I tell them, AGE IS NOT A DISEASE. If you feel your pet is ‘all there’ mentally, then age is just a number! There are a ton of products to help humans in their old age, and now there is products to help your pet age gracefully.

Your pet keeps you healthy

We’ve written a lot about pets and their health. How to keep them healthy, how toIMG_1882 prevent them from being unhealthy, how to maintain their health once they get older, how to do a wellness check, and how to cope with an animal whose very unhealthy.

How do pets affect our health? Good question.

Basic answer? Very ‘paws’ itivly.

 

Our lives are stress filled little balls of fire. It’s a constant and consistent up, down, up, down, sideways, loop-de-loop and just when we think things are okay, we’re sent propelling straight back down to restart the whole process again. It’s okay, that’s what keeps us on our toes . . . → Read More →

Hero Dogs

Hero Dogs, Military edition! Welcome to Trooper Tuesdays! The only reason I cried is because I was so proud of these next two dogs, Stubby and Trackr.chips320

 

In the U.S dogs are equally revered, especially in the military. A Pit Bull named Stubby once reached the rank of Sergeant for his heroic work during World War I. Sergeant Stubby served in some 17 battles during the war and became the most highly decorated dog in U.S. history. Another dog, a mixed breed named Chips, may be better known though. He served during the Second World War and was awarded both the Silver Star and Purple Heart, after serving in some . . . → Read More →

Whats’ needed to know about adopting a Special Needs Dog

What you need to know before adopting a Special Needs Dog

A Special Needs dog is any dog that requires help or assistance doing the things that other dogs can do without help. Like humans, special needs in dogs may be a physical or mental disability.IMG_0896

The term special needs can cover a wide range of issues. It may be something simple like an amputation, or something as difficult as mental issues that make your pup afraid of everything, including his own shadow. Caring for a ‘special needs’ animal may be a daunting task if you’re not prepared and knowledgeable about the disability that the particular dog has.
