Area boarding facilities are reporting outbreaks of Canine Upper Respiratory Disease. This is typically caused by a combination of respiratory viruses and bacteria but does include the possibility of Kennel Cough and Canine Influenza.

We recommend limiting unnecessary contact with dogs in the neighborhood if at all possible during the upcoming weeks.

All the best, The team at AMC

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month

Lyme Disease is one of the most common tick-transmitted diseases in the world.  While only 5-10% of affected dogs will have symptoms, the most dominant clinical feature is inflammation of the joints which causes lameness. 

Lethargy and lack of appetite may be apparent plus other critical scenarios including kidney and heart damage or nervous system disease may occur.

Additional symptoms include:

  • Fever
  • Sensitive to touch
  • Stiff walk with arched back
  • Difficulty breathing

Lyme disease is quite prevalent in our area, and as such, we highly encourage our clients to keep their pet administered on monthly flea/tick preventatives. At Animal Medical Center of Cascades, we offer a variety of different products for your pet which will combat fleas and ticks—we also offer the Lyme vaccine, too.

For any questions about Lyme disease, or if you’d like to order products or request an appointment, contact us at 571-434-0250 or request an appointment online.
