OCTOBER |
October is Laser Therapy Month:What conditions can be treated with laser therapy? We can and have used the laser successfully to treat many acute conditions such as wounds, cuts, bites, infammation, sprains, strains, fractures, post-surgical healing, and pain relief. It can also be used for chronic conditions such as degenerative joint disease, lick granulomas, geriatic care, hip dysplasia, tendonitis, and arthritis. How does laser therapy work? The laser light is delivered through a noninvasive hand piece to treat the affected area. Your pet may feel a gentle and soothing warmth. Unlike surgical lasers that have their full impact in the first 1 to 5 mm of tissue, therapeutic lasers transmit their energy much deeper into tissue (4 to 5 cm). With therapeutic lasers we also have the ability to vary diode wavelength. This ability is what gives us the potential to stimulate positive change within damaged or diseased tissue. Appropriatley transmitting diode wavelengths improves damaged cellular organelles and membranes, increases cellular respiration (ATP production), alters pain perception, modifies pain receptor response, reduces pain, increases endorphin production and limits intr- and extra-cellular edema. *

It's Halloween again! The time for ghosts, goblins, witches, and CANDY!! We all like to have fun dressing up and giving out candy to all the children in the neighborhood but sometimes our pets don’t have as much fun as we do. The costumes and all of the noise can really stress them out and candy is very harmful if they get into it. Any candy can upset your pet’s tummy. Most pets don’t bother to unwrap their treat and those wrappers can create problems. And remember, chocolate is very poisonous to both dogs and cats. If your pet has eaten ANY chocolate you need to call you vet immediately!
Call us at our office with any questions on how to keep your pet calm and safe during this fun time.
