Interesting case of the week!

Owner noticed that Copper was sneezing and pawing at his face after coming home from a hunting trip last weekend.

We sedated him and used a small scope to look inside his nostril and found quite the surprise! A 13 cm (over 5 inches!) long hard plant stem. Needless to say Copper is feeling much more comfortable after his visit 😊

🧡Welcome Aslan to RRVC 😺

This chatty cat loves to tell all about his adventures (including the times he’s slipped outside to explore the great outdoors!)🦁
Even brief outdoor excursions can increase exposure to diseases from other cats. Aslan’s owner is keeping him protected with his Rabies, FVRCP, and FeLV (feline leukemia) vaccines.

💧🩸FeLV is spread through saliva and close contact with infected cats by sharing food/water bowls, mutual grooming, bite wounds, and exposure to other bodily fluids. The virus weakens the immune system, making cats more vulnerable to illness and increasing the risk of certain cancers.

💉Being fully vaccinated is an important way to help protect adventurous kitties like Aslan. 🐈

Roxie is all set for sweater weather in her cozy Irish wool! 🍂

Fleas and ticks are also looking for a cozy host. Fall is one of the most active times for deer ticks and dog ticks. Roxie's owners keep her protected year-round with vaccines and flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention 💛🐾

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗳𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗥𝗩𝗖 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆!

Guinea pigs’ teeth grow continuously and sometimes need to be trimmed. This gentle cavy stole our hearts with his sweet personality during his physical exam and dental check!💛

Just like humans, guinea pigs cannot make vitamin C, we both need it from our diet. Alfalfa's owner keeps him healthy with quality hay, leafy greens, colorful veggies, and vitamin-fortified foods. Carrots are one if his favorites!🥕
