What do you need to do? We will post that on Thursday! New Videos
coming - also of Gracie. Don't get too excited. She still doesn't
have any feathers to speak of.

Yes, FLEAS are creepy. These fleas were obtained
by taking a flea comb (fine toothed comb) and running down the back of a
flea-ridden dog (yecchh). They are in a zipper-locked plastic bag
and you will note they are running around in circles because they can't
jump up. Look at the size of the back legs! They jump really high.
They can jump from the ground onto your dog. Then they can jump
onto you next if you disturb them. The only good flea is a dead
flea! Click on the picture of the fleas to see the video of live (and
dead) fleas. More to come. |

Meet Dr. Carpino |
So far, so good on the video stuff. We are working
on a heartworm segment, and one on how to pill a dog and how to pill a
cat. Below is our first one on which is a case you can follow.
If you have any suggestions, please let us know at
Katie@animalandbird.com.
Remember Katie is handling our email - so please cut her some slack on
typing back emails to you :-). |
Gracie Day 1 Video
 |
Gracie is a Scarlet Macaw with a severe neck injury and
full body feather picking. She was donated to the clinic and so we
are going to try to get her better and post update videos at various
intervals. |
SWINE FLU SPECIAL ALERT
|
|
H1N1 Swine Flu virus
has now been
diagnosed in a
dog in NY.
It had recently been diagnosed in 1 cat in
Iowa, and 2 cats and 3 ferrets in Oregon. One of the cats died as
a result of the infection. It is believed that in each of these
instances the pets got the virus from humans. No evidence of
further transmission from pets to owners is apparent. Note: This
is not the same as the H3N8 canine influenza virus. See
News
Items at the American Veterinary Medical Association site.
There is now a test available for H1N1 in pets. So if your
becomes sick with a respiratory signs and fever in a short timeframe
after a household member has had swine flu - we should check your pet
for this virus along with supportive care. |
