Our initial spots for barn kitties (tnr) filled quickly so we have readied another HVSN wonder-crew and opened MORE TNR / BARNCAT appts at EVAH-Hamilton for MARCH 2026.

OH CANADA, tough stuff, eh?!

You know some of our crew is in the ‘near North’ Ontario working on our EVAH-North mobile when they message you after hours to say :
“we just had the most Canadian emergency appointment request, ever.”

🐶Dog meets Beaver. 🦫
Dog thinks Beaver is worth checkin’ out.😎
Dog figures Beaver is probably easily intimidated.😏
Dog learns his lesson the hard way 🇨🇦.

Luckily for this gorgeous pooch (whose name is “Bear” and is an absolutely darling!) even though a Beaver-chomp-chomp was needed to learn a lesson, all is now ok! The dog is now fixed up by EVAH’s team, and the beaver meandered off unscathed & we suspect chuckling.

American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) important CAUTION: Reusable facemasks/migraine gel masks may pose a serious toxicity risk to dogs!

Veterinary toxicologists are reporting cases of dogs ingesting the hydrogel inside these masks and developing:

➡️ GI illness
➡️ Rapid-onset neurologic signs
➡️ Tremors, ataxia, and seizures

Even small amounts may be dangerous, potentially due to trace acrylamide, a known neurotoxin.

The face/eyemasks may not be considered a household hazard, especially when stored in freezers or bedside drawers, but please treat them as such for your dog’s safety.

IT’S WORLD SPAY DAY!
We feel seen 🙂
February 24th is World Spay Day (last Tuesday of February) : an international campaign promoting spay/neuter to prevent pet overpopulation, reduce shelter euthanasia, and improve animal health. Three pretty obvious yet crushingly immense necessities EVERYONE in any facet of animal welfare knows as their wishlist.
World Spay Day was launched in 1995 by the Doris Day Animal League and everyone around the globe is encouraged to celebrate it by scheduling, sponsoring, or volunteering for affordable sterilization clinics for cats and dogs.
Throughout the day we will be sharing posts which we hope is also a fun and easy way for YOU to participate in World Spay Day by following, liking and sharing.

$85+hst!
This is the one EVAH program where we do NOT require income screening. Barn cats, healthy & fixed, have an important role in rural property management!
If you’re driving distance to our EVAH-Hamilton (Upper James) we have just opened more TNR and/or BarnCat surgery spots for March.

This is a GOLD MEDAL team in our non profit vet med world. A super busy Friday in EVAH-London & multiple emergencies were compassionately also added in which made for quite an extra impactful EVAH day (which became evening!). Our wonderful Dr.Kayla’s champion crew of Jenna, Stef, Shannon, Meagan and Alex then also supported Dr. Martha who was supposed to have a rare office-work day. BUT Dr Martha instead drove in to help when one of the urgent cases also became an emergency surgery. As the adrenaline wears off, our tuckered out EVAH-London crew heads on home to their own families & pets. Bravo Team EVAH, Bravo.
