Dog Vaccinations: K-9 Distemper – This vaccination helps prevent against this often fatal, hard-to-treat disease which is absolutely essential. Symptoms can include listlessness, fever, coughing, diarrhea and vomiting; convulsions and paralysis may occur in the disease's final stages. The distemper virus attacks many organs, including the nervous system, which may be permanently damaged, even if the dog recovers. Bordetella – (Kennel Cough) This vaccination helps prevent against this respiratory-tract infection which is easily transmitted from one dog to another, so vaccination is imperative if your pet will come in contact with many other dogs in such situations as obedience training or boarding at a kennel. Caused by various airborne bacteria and viruses, including Canine Parainfluenza virus, Canine Adenovirus Type II and Bordetella Bronchiseptica, you'll first notice its onset by your dog's dry, hacking cough. Micro Chip Scan – (Animal Identification) Worm Treatment – (All Puppies or Visually Emaciated Adult Dogs – Requires a Stool Sample) Cat Vaccination: Worming Feline Distemper (Annual) – This vaccination helps prevent against Feline distemper, also called feline panleukopenia, cat plague, cat fever, feline agranulocytosis, and feline infectious enteritis, is an acute, highly infectious viral disease affecting members of the Felidae, Procyonidae and Mustelidae. Feline distemper usually begins suddenly with a high fever. Some animals may die peracutely at this stage with a minimum of gross lesions. More commonly, the high fever is followed by depression, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, and a profound leukopenia. These signs rapidly lead to severe dehydration. In a wild animal, feline distemper may progress as described above or the disease may be characterized by an encephalitis syndrome with central nervous system disturbances, convulsions, or ataxia. The course of the disease is short and rarely lasts over one week, but mortality is high and may reach 100% in susceptible animals. The pathological lesions of feline distemper are found primarily in the bone marrow and small intestine.Necropsy findings include an empty intestinal tract, hemorrhagic small intestine, hemorrhagic and edematous mesenteric lymph nodes, and a fluid-like appearance of the bone marrow of the long bones. Ear Mites (Treatment) – This treatment helps prevent against ear mites and is an external parasite that can infect dogs, cats and more rarely, humans. The mite's name is Otodectes cynotis. Otodectes mites are large enough that they can sometimes be seen with the naked eye and are easy to see with magnification.Ear mites live in the ears and on the skin of pets infected with them. The mite lives its entire life on the pet and it takes about 3 weeks for a mite egg to develop into an adult mite. The adult mites are very mobile and can live for some time off of a dog or cat, which enables it to be fairly contagious.
