Our Associates are our family. Providing the support and resources for them to cope with the “weight” of the profession is our responsibility, and it’s one that we take very seriously. By sharing the impact suicide has had on the veterinary community and the steps we’re taking to provide our Associates with support, we’re shining light on a topic that was previously taboo. We’re leading the way to increased dialogue and transparency around mental health which is the first step toward change. #BeingBluePearl #MentalHealthAwareness #TogetherToFightSuicide
Providing the space for emotional transparency and group discussion is a step toward accepting the stressors of the profession and changing how we cope with those stressors. BluePearl is actively engaging Associates with newsletters, webinars and other resources to invite dialogue about mental health and provide solutions for healthy coping strategies. #BeingBluePearl #EndTheStigma
Veterinary medicine is not only about pets, but also about the people who love them. #beingBluePearl
Although the Out of the Darkness walks won’t take place this year, BluePearl Associates are engaging in numerous other activities that highlight camaraderie and support for each other. #BeingBluePearl #TogetherToFightSuicide
In human medicine, when you’re sick or need a wellness checkup, you visit your family doctor. But when you have a special healthcare need, your doctor will likely recommend a specialist – like a cardiologist, a dermatologist or an oncologist. The same is true in veterinary medicine. #beingBluePearl #vetmedicine
Raise your hand if your dog has ever eaten something they shouldn't have. 🙋🏾‍🙋🏻‍🙋🏼‍ Although we know dog vomiting is an unpleasant topic, it is something that pet owners are bound to face, and it is important to note the difference between vomiting (using effort to bring food/liquid up) and regurgitation (no effort demonstrated when bringing food/liquid up), as they have significantly different causes and treatments. In this video, Erick Mears, DVM, DACVIM, BluePearl's Medical Director in Tampa Bay, explains the difference in symptoms between dogs suffering from toxicity versus those who ate a foreign object. #AnimalPoisonPreventionWeek Let us know the strangest thing your dog has eaten in the comments below.
With spring in full swing, you may be considering a spring cleaning at home. But to keep your pets safe, the best practice is to read the ingredient label of any household products prior to purchasing and be particularly careful with products containing ingredients such as bleach, any acids or oxide/hydroxide ingredients. #AnimalPoisonPreventionWeek #BluePearlVet Toxic Ingredients for Pets to Avoid: Hydrogen Peroxide Isopropyl Alcohol (or rubbing alcohol) Bleach Ammonia Phenols If you suspect your pet has been poisoned or are concerned about possible exposure, contact a veterinarian or seek veterinary medical help right away. Two good options, which do have a small cost associated with them, are the Pet Poison Helpline at 1 (844) 492-9842 or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control at 1 (888) 426-4435. This may save you a trip to the pet emergency room.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 Our amazing Jacksonville team had a little fun celebrating and showing their St. Patty’s spirit!
St. Patrick's Day is just a day away. But before you decide to eat, drink and be merry, here is a quick reminder to keep an eye on your drink.🍺👀 Some dogs may lap alcohol off the floor if it spills or drink it right out of your glass when you're not paying attention. But exercise caution to avoid these mistakes, as alcohol is toxic to dogs, and ingestion of alcohol can result in dangerous drops in body temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar. Common signs to watch for are panting or fast breathing, vomiting or diarrhea, incoordination, drooling, weakness, collapse, or an increased heart rate. These symptoms could begin as rapidly as 30 minutes after ingestion, but they could be delayed up to eight hours (less common).
It wasn't time to say goodbye. The team at BluePearl Pet Hospital Town Center in Virginia Beach helped to give Jetty, a 1-year-old puppy fighting heart worm, a second chance at life. #StoriesfromtheHeart #BluePearlVet Read all about it at https://bluepearlvet.com/stories-from-the-heart/a-second-chance-at-life/.
