Blais Veterinary Hospital Saves Dog With Aneurysm

A very nice dog came into our office last week.  The owner had found a lump.  With a thorough exam and x rays we consulted with the owner and decided to operate.  What we found was an aneurysm. We ended up removing the liver and the aneurysm.  The dog is doing well.  Aneurysm's blow and the pet can bleed to death.  The aneurysm was removed in the nick of time.  As "bad things can happen to good dogs."  This was one "Lucky Dog!"Blais Veterinary Hospital Saves Dog With Aneurysmhttp://blaisvet.blogspot.com/

Beware of Slow Moving Porcupines and Fast Moving Dogs ~

Porcupines don’t move very fast and waddle to their destination. Seemingly on a journey and minding their own business when here comes a furry animal with no quills that can move rather quickly.    This furry and fast animal is scarring me so I better protect myself.  Well the rest of the story is on the dog. The quills possibly hit in the mouth, nose, tongue, cheeks, and front legs because the fast dog is trying to play or check out the porcupines. Yikes!   When this happens know the sooner the quills are removed the easier they are getting out.  The longer they remain in the dog the deeper they migrate and the harder they are to remove.   Seek veterinary medical assistance as quickly as possible for the best result for your pet.  It was traumatic enough for the slow moving porcupine and the fast moving dog, the removal of the quills is best by a veterinarian.     /http://blaisveterinaryhospital.com/

Free Rides for Fleas and Ticks! No more.....

The furry friend comes through the door and is greeted with lots of love and hugs.  During the love session the human hand feels a bump in the fur.  The fur is spread to see what it is.  Oh no, it is the free riding tick!

I have had the same experience with my Irish Wolfhound.  I found a product that seems to be working very well for ticks and fleas, too. The product is the Scalibor Flea and Tick Collar.  Now, Tai Gou, my dog goes out and has a good time outside with very few free riding ticks.
