Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas today!
We hope you had a lovely holiday season with your friends and family.

Was your pet on Santa's nice or naughty list this year? Bobby was definitely on the nice list as he is always helping out! Timbit however... might be a little troublemaker! 😉

Let us know in the comments if your pet was on the nice or naughty list this year. Share pictures with their gifts from Santa!

Look at Shouto, the cutest little hamster! Do you notice something different?
If you said her eyes, you are correct. She has different coloured eyes, one is black and the other one is red! This is called heterochromia and is caused by a genetic mutation. We think this makes this sweet girl even more special.

Meet the sweetest boy, Opus. Opus is the happiest boxer there ever was and needs to wiggle his whole body to let us know he is happy.
He came for his neuter and asked to be a little lap dog and be spoiled. We of course could not say no to that cute face.

Have you ever wondered how we are able to obtain a blood sample from our reptile friends?
Our approach will vary depending on what kind of reptile we are trying to obtain a sample from. Besides reptiles having scales, we run into other challenges we need to navigate like having a big protective shell or no legs!
For most of our lizards (and snakes) the collection site will be from their tail vein. We can't actually see the vein, but we work with anatomical landmarks. First we want to make sure the site is clean and we rub some betadine on the scales. We then look for the middle point on the ventral tail portion. For males we have to make sure we don't poke too close to their vent as we don't want to accidentally hit their hemipenes. Once we find out middle point, we go in at a 90 degree angle. We might have to make small adjustments until we see blood filling out syringe.
For most of our patients we can do this with minimal restraint and we don't need sedation. Any reptile species that will drop their tail as a defense would have to be sedated first and the sample collected from a different location. Once we have our sample we apply some pressure and check the site. Easy, right?
Check out the second picture showing what the blood looks like under the microscope. The red blood cells are nucleated and you can see a white blood cell called heterophil as well. The morphology of these white cells can show some variations between all the different species!

We hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into the world of reptile blood collection.

What do you get when you mix a Shih Tzu with a Jack Russel?
You get a Pippa! This sweet girl came for her visit with us after being adopted by her new family. She was happy with all the attention she got during her visit, but her favourite part was all the snacks she got.

Halloween might be over, but Tarragon is not quite ready to let go of the spooky season. Don't be fooled, Tarragon is an almost 6 year old ball python that does not mind to be handled.
