Check it out! #VetMed #Pets #Illinois #UofI #Dogs #Cats #Careers #Kids #Education #SmallAnimal #Health #LargeAnimal #Wellness #TheMoreYouKnow University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine‎Open House 2020 September 29 at 10:42 AM · Dilly, Zona, and Hemi are curious about what their "moms" are up to all day as vet students at the University of Illinois. If you are curious too, write your questions below and join the Live Facebook session on October 4 at 2 pm to get answers! 🔷🔶
#Cruciate injury (ie. #ACL tear) is the most common cause for persistent lameness we see, besides arthritis. #Orthopedic issues like fractures & hip dysplasia occur less often. #Pets will show a hindleg limp that doesn't resolve with rest & pain relief. #Surgery restores stability to the leg: just ask Dr. Fox. He's our bone guy. This video shows how the joint works before & after repair. It's pretty cool! #Dogs #Cats #Lameness #Knee Veterinarians December 18, 2015 at 7:21 AM · Cranial cruciate ligament rupture
#Storms return this week. #Pets may find the combination of high winds +/- thunder & lightning startling. Many can self soothe in a quiet spot, but if that's not enough, call us. #Medication is helpful. Some dogs will even respond to a homemade #Thundershirt (like this) to "hug" them. #Dogs #Cats #Anxiety #Fall #Thunderstorms
#PearlyWhites don't often stay that way. #OralHealth is often overlooked until a pet has a painful or infected mouth. :( Don't wait until it's too late! #Dental care is just as important to pets as it is to humans.

The forecasts are designed to alert veterinary professionals and pet owners to changing trends in parasite infections for the nation and their local communities before they occur. Through its work over the years, CAPC has become the leader in forecasting parasitic infections of pets. With numerous peer-reviewed publications on their forecasting methodology, CAPC forecasts have consistently demonstrated fidelity above 90% for every disease they monitor. #CAPC #2020
#BullyingPreventionDay: #Pets aren't always buddies. #Dogs may show bullying behaviors with housemates or on playdates at dog parks. #Roughhousing can become too aggressive. #ResourceGuarding is another sign. #Bites may require medical attention, so separate them before it escalates. #Pups #Behavior #Group #Hierarchy #Play MedVet Chicago October 5 at 10:07 AM · Is your pet a bully? Pets can pick on others just like humans do, and it’s important to curb that behavior early. Keep watch on the other animal’s reactions. If they come back for more play, then they are most likely enjoying the rough and tumble play. But, if they repeatedly try to get away, then it is probably time for you to intervene. Talk with your veterinarian if you’re concerned about aggressive behaviors in your pet.

#Season changes = #Allergies! #EarInfections are common. #Otitis treatment can help prevent permanent scarring. #Cleaning the ears won't cure an infection, but it may help prevent/delay future ones. #Pets have "L" shaped ear canals, so cleaners you pour into the ears work best. Wipes or pads only clean half the ear, leaving way too much debris in the horizontal canal. That may weaken or rupture their sensitive eardrum. As the video shows, fill up the ears, massage & wipe away debris with cotton. Repeat the process until those cotton balls are clean! If your pet continues to be itchy, call us, they may have an infection. #Pets #Dogs #Cats #Ears https://www.vetbabble.com/dogs/grooming-dogs/how-to-clean-dogs-ears/ VETBABBLE.COM How to Clean Your Dog's Ears - a Basic Guide | VetBabble

#Decorating for the holidays? #Pets sometimes find these new things all too inviting. #Chewing on cords, ornaments & other decorations is dangerous. Take a few minutes to pet-proof your home.

Chewing on cords can result in serious injuries such as electrical shock and oral burns. When decorating this season, take care to make cords less accessible and keep your pets out of the ER.

#MerryChristmas! 🎄 We posted less a few years ago, so we wanted to share this tune Dr Fox reworked in 2014. #SoundOfMusic #Update 🎶 "A Few of the Dangerous Things" (sung to “My Favorite Things”) Holly in puppies and lilies in kittens, Xylitol sweeteners in gum when it's bitten, Threads, tinsels, flosses, yes all kinds of strings These are a few of the dangerous things. Treats made in China and rawhides from Thailand, Avocados and onions are foods which they can't stand Medicine bottles (even with safety lid), These are some things that you need to keep hid. Mouse and rat poisons and chocolates are scary, Causing bleeding and fits in our pets too unwary Keep them away from your loved, furry thing, These are some dangers this season can bring. 'Lectric wires! Zinc in pennies! Just can't help but chew, But simply remember these dangerous things, And then keep them out of view! Tylenol's toxic to big cats and kittens Dogs swallow foil, rocks, corncobs and mittens, Surgery's destined for tummies impure A little prevention is worth pounds of cure Nuts macadamia, grapes and dried raisins, Cleaners and bleaches if not in their own bins, Ice‐melting salts which cause foot pad burnings, These are some more of the dangerous things. Ignore silly e‐mails that warn about Swiffer, Facts can be found at the Pet Poison Center, Do keep their number by your phone that rings, We think that these are more sensible things. Antifreeze is so delicious! But it makes kidneys bad So simply remember these dangerous things, Then no one need feel so sad. copyright 2014 Dr Lawrence M Fox❤ #Dogs #Cats #Family #VetMed #Pets #Holiday #Fun #Safety

Chicago Animal Care and Control's tips. #SNOW #SAFETY In preparation for the snow that's expected to start falling this afternoon, the National Weather Service sent out this warning about how to keep your dogs safe: 🌨 Never let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snowstorm, dogs can lose their scent and easily become lost. More dogs are lost during the winter than during any other season, so make sure yours always wears ID tags. 🌨 Thoroughly wipe off your dog's legs and stomach when he comes in out of the sleet, snow or ice. He can ingest salt, antifreeze or other potentially dangerous chemicals while licking his paws, and his paw pads may also bleed from snow or encrusted ice. 🌨 Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter, as a longer coat will provide more warmth. Own a short-haired breed? Consider getting him a coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck with coverage from the base of the tail to the belly. 🌨 Never leave your dog or cat alone in a car during cold weather. Keep pets indoors in possible, especially if they are sensitive to the cold weather due to age, illness or breed type. #chicagoweather #chicagowinter #bettertogether US National Weather Service Chicago Illinois January 25 at 7:05 PM · [1:00 PM 1/25/2021] Here is a forecast update for when snow should begin this afternoon into early evening. The snow will likely start light for a brief period (less than 2 hours), then will pick up in intensity.

#Weekends are a fine time to meet potential new pets. #Shelters & rescue groups often have adoption events then. It's easy to fall in love with a look, but remember, you'll live with that personality for a lifetime. Choose wisely! It's OK to pick the "easy" pet & let an experienced adopter (with more free time) take the one who needs more work. ❤️ #Pets #Dogs #Cats #Rescue #Adopt #Behavior #AdoptDontShop #HumanAnimalBond http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/adopting-a-dog-some-dogs-are-easier-than-others DRSOPHIAYIN.COM Adopting a Dog: Some Dogs are Easier Than Others
