Fast Treatment for Skin Infection – Dogs and Cats

by

When your dog or cat has a skin infection, you want to get rid of it as quickly as possible.  You don’t want to see your pet suffer, scratch or act sad and in pain.  There are different methods out there, proven to work, but some work faster than others.  We wanted to let you in on a great product we love that has a fantastic success rate.  And it’s one of our quickest treatments for your dog or cat with a skin infection.

Convenia® is a fast-acting injectable antibiotic that treats common bacterial skin infections in both dogs and cats.  Just one injection works for up to 14 days to eliminate the bacteria and resolve clinical signs.  It has been proven that just one single injection was equivalent to a 14 antibiotic regimen.

Just one treatment can give you and your pet:

  1. Fast treatment:  You may see results in just a few hours.
  2. Worry-free dosing:  Injections are given by our vet.  You do not have to give daily medication.
  3. Peace of mind:  You won’t miss a dose because it’s just 1 injection that works for 14 days!

You can learn more about Convenia® here.

You can also earn up to $30 in rewards when your dog receives an injection of Convenia® here.

Your Pet Food and Meds Delivered to You

by

Did you know we offer a way to get your pet’s medications delivered to your door?

We thought we would offer this to make it more convenient and time-saving to get your pet what they need.

CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT!

We use the company called VetSource.  There are many online pharmacies who sell medications and other food products.  They may look and sound the same as VetSource but some are very different.  This is why we are happy to let you know that we offer home delivery of your pet’s needs from a source you can absolutely trust.

Your medications will be checked and double-checked for the utmost accuracy by licensed pharmacists.  It also means the meds you receive are the exact same medications you would get inside our hospital and with the exact same guarantee.

This is how it works:

  1. One of our vets recommend a medication
  2. You place an order through the link we give you (same link as above)
  3. Your prescription is confirmed & verified by licensed pharmacists
  4. Your prescription is confirmed once again
  5. The prescription is packaged and shipped
  6. The prescription arrives

You can even set-up auto-refills so you never have to think about it again–the medication will just appear on your door step when you run out.

Check out the website.  We also offer food, flea & tick preventative, heartworm preventative, etc.  It’s very simple and convenient.

Hyperthyroid in Cats

by

Your cat’s thyroid hormone helps to regulate and control many normal bodily processes.  If your cat has a hyperthyroid, this means there is too much thyroid hormone in their system.  Generally this is due to a benign tumor that has developed on one or more of your cat’s thyroid glands.

Cats 7 years or older are normally affected by a hyperthyroid.  Tests can determine if your cats has a hyperthyroid or not.

Symptoms include:

  1. Weight loss
  2. Increased thirst
  3. Increased urination
  4. Diarrhea
  5. Vomiting
  6. Excessive grooming

If your cat gets diagnosed with a hyperthyroid don’t fret.  It really is a common thing and can be solved.  Treatment will help normalize your cat’s thyroid levels and reduce signs of disease.

Treatments vary cat to cat because some can be more severe than others.  General treatments are as follows:

  • Oral medication
  • Topical medication
  • Diet changes
  • Radioactive therapy
  • Surgery

We at Day and Evening Pet Hospital will work tirelessly to make sure we help your cat to be as comfortable and healthy as possible.  If your cat has one or some of these symptoms, please come in and get some tests done.  We are here to help make sure your pet has the healthiest and best life they can.
