Is your older cat losing weight yet eating plenty, perhaps even more than he/she used to?  How about vomiting, restlessness, increased thirst, vocalization?

Winter can be our dogs worst enemy when it comes to the cold, chemicals and even going from warm inside to cold outside puts a lot of stress on the pads of their feet.

For as long as I have worked in the veterinary industry I have heard about every comment on the cost of veterinary diets.

Now that the summertime weather is here, the heat and humidity tend to get the best of us. We tend to not drink enough water during these months leading us to feel dehydrated. 

Most intestinal parasites are worms. They live in your pet’s body, growing to adulthood in the intestinal tract.

While tapeworms were a historically common cause of itchy rear-ends, the more likely culprit is the anal glands. 

If they weren’t gross, blood-sucking parasites, fleas would be fascinating! They are tiny, brown parasitic insects that feed on blood – yours or your pet’s. Yuck!

In the last few days, we have been fielding a lot of questions about the coyote tapeworm from concerned dog owners. 

Rocky, our clinic cat, and Clappison “mascot” came to us as a scrappy stray adult, he had several wounds from fights with other stray cats (hence the name!) as well as FIV.

There are so many reasons why Doggie Daycares are springing up all over and have become so popular.

At Clappison Animal Hospital, we are working towards creating a more positive experience for both you and your pet.

Clappison Animal Hospital’s Dr. Chris Hamilton recently saw a case involving Permethrin toxicity in a young cat.
