Contacts and Phone Numbers: Helping Hands Humane Society 785-233-7325 CAT Association of Topeka 785-272-4735 Dogs and Cats: Dental care is always important--people and pets, too! Infection around teeth can let bacteria into the body. These little guys land in organs with high blood flow, especially the kidneys, and cause a mild infection. The body responds by surrounding these areas with scar tissue. Over time, the kidney can be rendered useless and the pet begins to die. We have acquired a new high-speed dental engine and associated implements to increase the quality of our work. Ticks: Suburban dogs and cats often are exposed to ticks. Ticks carry lots of disease including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichia, and Lyme Disease. Tests are available for the last two in conjunction with heartworm testing for dogs. Additionally, a vaccine is available for Lyme disease for dogs. Ticks present themselves as problems in late winter and early spring, especially if warm weather prevails. Start Frontline early... Domestic cats living near bobcats are in danger of a parasite, Cytauxzoan, being transmitted via ticks. This disease is tolerated by the bobcat but is 100% fatal for the domestic cat. A monthly topical application of Frontline on your pet's skin to KILL TICKS is highly recommended. MedRx Ear Endoscope We have a new ENDOSCOPIC SYSTEM--MedRx. The expandable features of this unit allows us to grow as client's request more advanced services. Currently we can do full diagnostic and treatment of external and middle ears, nasal cavity, and bladder on larger dogs. Small biopsies can be taken from the liver and other organs with our current level of instrumentation. Photographic documentation accompanies all advanced procedures. Every pet who has an anesthetic has their ears 'scoped' free. We are currently doing the same for grooming and boarding pets. Cats: All kittens should be tested for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunosuppresive Virus (FIV). These two viral disease are slow workers. It may take years for them to show signs of illness within your pet. Kittens can be born infected and older cats cat get the disease through the exchange of body fluids from other cats. Vaccines are available for both diseases. Multiple cat households are especially at risk. |
