Did you know we see bunny rabbits? These two floofs were in the hospital for surgery. Spaying and neutering rabbits is very important for their long term health and welfare. Both males and females often develop aggressive behaviours when left intact. And Female rabbits will develop cancer in their reproductive tract by the age of 5-10 years which is painful and can affect their lifespan if left undiagnosed and untreated.

Urinary blockage in cats Unfortunately we see a many male cats that are blocked. This is a very painful, serious and unfortunate issue, here are some Q and A's to help better understand this condition! Q-What does being blocked mean? ... A- A blocked cat means there is a blockage in the urethra and they are unable to pass their urine, this is serious as it can lead to life threatening electrolyte disturbances and the bladder could even rupture if it doesn't get relieved. Q- What are symptoms of this I can look out for? A- Cats that are blocked often show the following signs: -Straining repeatedly in the litter box (often mistaken for constipation) - Urinating small frequent amounts - Urinating in unusual places - Blood in the urine -Crying or howling -Licking at the genitals/below the base of the tail -Hiding Q- If I see these symptoms, when do I come? A- This is a very serious condition and needs be seen ASAP at your nearest emergency hospital. Q-Can females get blocked? A-They can, however this is extremely rare Q-What can be some factors to cause a blockage? A- Stress, Diet, Dehydration, a change in routine, not enough litter boxes (There should be 2 boxes per 1 cat) . We usually see an increase in those times of the year there is a lot going on or when routines are changing in the home. Q- What can I do to prevent this?

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM) has proclaimed September as Animal Pain Awareness Month, and this coincides with human medicines Pain Awareness Month. Animals suffer from pain just like people do. Pain comes in many forms: surgical pain, arthritis and cancer related pain, just to name a few. Acute pain is obvious and distressing. Chronic pain can be subtle, and masked as getting old or slowing down.... Old age is not a disease, but pain is. There are many options to treat the various causes of pain in animals including pain medications, physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, laser therapy, and therapeutic massage. The proclamation of the month is in keeping with IVAPMs commitment to encouraging pain management for all animal species through education and advocacy. During this annual campaign, IVAPM is also encouraging various veterinary organizations to raise public awareness about pain and pain management as it pertains to veterinary patients. Pain is pets is common and treatable. Please contact us so we can work together to ensure you pet is living their BEST life. See more

Laser Therapy - Pain Relief for your pet Laser therapy offers effective pain relief for your pet. It is a scientifically proven way to reduce your pets pain and inflammation, getting your best friend better, faster. Also called photobiomodulation, laser therapy targets your pets damaged cells and helps them regenerate faster. This drug-free, side-effect free treatment can be used alone or in addition to your pets prescribed treatment plan. What are laser therapy treatments... like? Your pet, you, and the technician delivering the treatment will all wear eye protection during the treatment. Make sure you snap a picture of your pet in their doggles! A handpiece is then passed over your pets injury. Depending on your pets condition a contact or non-contact applicator will be used. Your pet will feel a gentle, soothing warmth as their pain is eased. Treatments take a matter of minutes and require no clipping or shaving of your pets fur. Most pets are very relaxed during treatments. How are we implementing laser therapy to best serve your pet? Laser therapy is effective on many conditions for every species of pet. At the Stonewall Veterinary Hospital we use it post-operatively to help speed healing and decrease pain, as well as with limping patients, patients with injuries, to help relieve the pain from skin and ear infections, and even on patients with anal sacculitis & urinary tract disorders. Call to see if laser therapy is right for your pet! (a current VPCR (Veterinary-client-patient relationship) is required to book an appointment for your pet)
