Our newest addition to our hospital family is the adorable Stormy. She was brought to us when during the horrible storms the slammed through the area, she was very tiny and very sick. We were surprised but over joyed that she made it and is thriving. Though she is the kitty version of mentally handicapped, her coordination is off and we don't think she sees well but she's adorable and extremely loving none the less. Check her out with our other hospital cats under "Our Hospital." |

Rattlesnake Protection For Your Pup
|
Locally Rattlesnakes are seasonal and come out during the warmer weather and with that warm weather approaching quickly it's a great time to get your dog started on the rattlesnake vaccine. If your dog has never had the vaccine before they will require two to three injections before optimal protection can be achieved. Each vaccine is given three to four weeks apart so you need to start early in the season, usually March or April. Rattlesnakes are found in wetlands, deserts and forests, from sea level to mountain elevations. Rattlesnakes are most active in warmer seasons, from Spring to Autumn. In southern latitudes they are occasionally found year-round. Dogs can encounter a rattlesnake anytime they are in rattlesnake habitat. You and your dog may live in rattlesnake habitat. Perhaps you travel through or frequently visit places where rattlesnakes are found. Maybe rattlesnakes are around when you take your dog hiking, camping or hunting. Curiosity or a protective instinct can place your dog at risk. A snakebite is always an emergency! Even after your dog is vaccinated against rattlesnake venom, she should be taken to a veterinarian for evaluation and care as soon as possible following snakebite. Even bites by non-venomous snakes can lead to serious infections and antibiotic treatment may be needed. A veterinarian can determine if your dog is sufficiently protected for the specific type of snake involved and the amount of venom injected, or whether additional medical treatment would be helpful. If you have any questions please give us a call at (530) 872-2345. For more info on the manufactor of the Rattlesnake vaccine please visit Red Rock @ www.redrockbiologics.com |

To Fix or Not to
Fix,
Tis The Altering Question |
Besides
not wanting puppies, are you looking for reasons to spay or neuter
your dog? There are plenty. Surgical
removal of your dog's reproductive organs or glands can be done as
early as 4 months of age. As a result, in addition to completely
avoiding testicular or uterine infections and cancers, your dog is
likely to:
Be more affectionate and less inclined to wander off
Have a reduced risk of accidental injuries, contagious diseases,
prostate problems (if a male), and breast tumors (if a
female).
The cost of licensing your pet should drop quite a
bit.
