  • A Vaccination Appointment
    What To Expect: A Vaccination Appointment This page is designed to give you a head's up on what you can expect when you take your pet in for his or her vaccination appointment. The page also discusses what you should expect from your veterinarian during a vaccination appointment. If you have any questions, please call your Shuswap veterinary care team at 250-832-6069. Here’s a basic rationale People and animals use antibodies to fight many viral and bacterial diseases. Your puppy or kitten will have received its first dose of disease fighting antibodies in the first 24 hours of its life, through the consumption of colostrum (first milk) from its mom, provided she was properly immunized. But these antibodies will diminish within a few short weeks. After that period of time it is up to the immune system to make those antibodies in sufficient numbers and thus create immunity. Vaccinations are given to stimulate the immune system to do exactly that. Some diseases require more immune stimulation than others to cause immunity and this is the reason why, for example, the first Rabies vaccine is good for a whole year, whereas the first Parvo or Distemper virus vaccination is only good for about 4 weeks. Currently, the general recommendation is to administer a series of three puppy at 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age with periodic booster vaccinations thereafter and for kitten vaccinations, two vaccinations at 8 and 12 weeks. Your veterinarian will help you work out an appropriate schedule specifically for your pet, as well as what diseases to vaccinate against.

  • Dirofilaria Immitis in Cats: Diagnosis and Management*
    CE Article #2 Dirofilaria immitis in Cats: Diagnosis and Management * C. Thomas Nelson, DVM a Animal Medical Centers of Northeast Alabama Anniston, Alabama ABSTRACT: Imaging and laboratory studies can help with the diagnosis of heartworm disease in cats, but no test is definitive. Furthermore, even when the diagnosis can be reliably established, therapy directed at the heartworms does little to help the cat.

  • Feline Asthma
    Avacta Animal Health Update: Feline Asthma Feline asthma is a common inflammatory disease of the lower airway affecting approximately 1-5% of the cat population and is believed to be triggered by aeroallergens1,2. The median age of presentation is at 4-5 years of age although, it is thought many cats presenting at this time will already have a long-term history of the disease, so the actual age of onset could well be significantly younger2. Clinical signs are variable and are sometimes categorised as acute, where episodic severe respiratory distress on expiration is seen, or as chronic, where more persistent wheezing and coughing of various degrees of severity may be observed1. However, approximately 10-15% of cases will present with a history of vomiting or paroxysmal hacking and coughing. This may result in a diagnostic work-up for gastrointestinal conditions such as hairballs, rather than one for respiratory issues2. Some cats with a history suggestive of asthma may be asymptomatic at the time of presentation. In these patients gentle tracheal palpation will often easily elicit a cough2. The subtly of clinical signs in some cats with chronic disease means the condition can remain undiagnosed for a significant period of time. This delay allows progression of pathological changes within the lung tissue2. Even with a thorough diagnostic respiratory investigation, discriminating feline asthma from other lower airway disorders (including chronic bronchitis and parasitic, infectious, cardiac or neoplastic conditions) is difficult which is, at least in part, why there are relatively few clinical trials into therapeutics for the disease1-3. Diagnosis is usually through a combination of history, clinical signs, thoracic radiography, exclusion of respiratory parasites, bronchoalveolar lavage cytology and response to trial therapy with bronchodilators and glucocorticoids1.

    Epidemiology and One Health: Collaborative Research Investigating Public Health Challenges Related to Canines in Rural, Urban, and Remote Communities in Canada by Danielle Arlaine Julien A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Population Medicine Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Danielle Arlaine Julien, June 2020 ABSTRACT EPIDEMIOLOGY AND ONE HEALTH: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH INVESTIGATING PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES RELATED TO CANINES IN RURAL, URBAN, AND REMOTE COMMUNITIES IN CANADA Danielle Arlaine Julien Advisor(s): University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Jan M. Sargeant Dr. Sherilee L. Harper (Co-Advisor) This thesis is an investigation of public health challenges related to dogs in rural and urban communities in southern Ontario, and in remote Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada, using cross- sectional observational studies. First, we conducted a scoping review of canine zoonotic and vectorborne research in North American countries, categorized by the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI). Most research was conducted in “very high” and “high” IHDI countries. Second, the prevalence of Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. were investigated in dogs in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Using Ecohealth and One Health approaches, feces were collected from three dog populations (sled (n=79), shelter (n=111), and community dogs (n=104)). The fecal prevalence of at least one parasite when one sample was chosen at random for all dogs was 8.16% (95% CI: 5.52-11.92), and of Giardia spp., and Cryptosporidium spp. was 4.42% (95% CI: 2.58-7.49) and 6.12% (95% CI: 3.88-9.53), respectively. We identified Giardia intestinalis, zoonotic assemblage B (n=2), and species-specific D (n=3) and E (n=1); and 5 samples containing Cryptosporidium canis.

  • The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies
    Peer Reviewed THE YELLOW CAT: DIAGNOSTIC & THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies Craig B. Webb, PhD, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Small Animal Internal Medicine) Colorado State University There is no mystery when it comes to a “yellow” cat. Icterus and jaundice—both of which describe a yellowish pigmentation of the skin—indicate hyperbilirubinemia, a 5- to 10-fold elevation in serum bilirubin concentration. However, this is where the certainty ends and the diagnostic challenge begins. The icteric cat presentation is not a sensitive or specific marker of disease, despite the visually obvious and impressive clinical sign (Figure 1).1 The objective of this article is to briefly review differentials for hyperbilirubinemia in the cat, and present a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy that will help practitioners approach this problem in an efficient and effective manner. FIGURE 1. Icteric pinna of a cat in the critical HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA: ORGANIZATION care isolation unit; prehepatic hemolysis BY LOCATION and anemia are a result of Cytauxzoon felis infection.
