| Upgraded Wellness Screening We are very impressed with our new ECG machine. We have had it for a while and are now getting much more able to use it to obtain some dynamite results. Hopefully your pet will not have any cardiac problems that require an ECG (electrocardiogram) which measures the electrical activity of the heart. Just in case we do have it available for urgent care and we also use it for some routine screening of our senior patients. |
Winter 2009 News
| New Staff! We have added two new staff members in the past few months to replace Whitney Phipps and Kristen Percich who have left us to attend the University of Missouri Collge of Veterinary Medicine. These new members of our health care team have been with us for a few months so many of our clients have already had the opportunity to meet Jessica Brummel and Angela Gray. It is always challenging for new staff at Normandy Animal Hospital due to the very high level of medicine and client service that is delivered. Both Jess and Angela have risen to the challenge and become very valued team members. For more information about both visit our staff page. |
| Seasonal Hazards Each season has its own hazards. Winter is no exception. It is important to continue flea, tick and heartworm prevention all year. With cold weather it is critical to make certain your pets have proper warm shelter, enough good quality food and access to clean unfrozen water. Also be very cautious of frostbite and hypothermia. With the extreme temperatures we recently encountered we have treated some cases of hypothemia (low body temperature due to chilling). Be very careful if walking your dog to avoid slipping on the ice and to avoid chemicals used to melt the ice. They are not only irritating topically but can also cause gastrointestinal upset if your pet licks significant quantities off the paws. The chemicals will melt the ice to temperatures as low as 10 degrees Farenheit thus making a super cold solution which can cause almost instant frostbite of the paws. |

| FLEAS!!! Even though it is Winter we had a HUGE flea outbreak in November and are still dealing with it. Even though it has frozen outside it has not frozen inside the house. We have also seen numerous failures of the over the counter spot on flea products sold in discount stores, pet stores, grocery stores and from the net. We recommend and sell only top drawer excellent products that carry full manufacturer warranty. We will advise you on correct use of the products and make certain that you are addressing the entire problem properly. |
| Canine Influenza H3N8 Vaccine Now In Stock! This vaccine is for use to reduce the severity of canine influenza. It is for use in dogs having a high degree of contact with other dogs. It may well not be necessary for use in relatively isolated dogs. Please call our office today at (314) 383-4677 and Dr. Goman will discuss the Pros and Cons with you. You will then be able to make the best decision for the care of your beloved pet. |
