Preventive Care

Vaccination
Vaccination guidelines for cats from the American Assoc of Feline Practitioners Vaccine recommendations have changed! Guidelines issued in 2013 were a departure from old norms and are still current. Keep up to date by reading what the experts have to say.
Comprehensive Examination
Wendy came to work at Calm Animal Care in 2004, with a keen interest in the details of every aspect of the care that patients receive here, from routine examination visits to complicated surgeries, recovery and followup. She is thorough and skilled and holds herself and everyone she works with to a high standard of care, and along with Dr Hartle is working toward certification in Canine Rehabilitation Therapy. Wendy leads our technician team, organizing training and protocols, and melding new ideas with the clinic’s culture and standards. Her family includes two sons who have grown up helping at the clinic, a husband who kindly pitches in with mechanical expertise, and a menagerie of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and horses. When not at work, Wendy’s forward view is often framed by the ears of a horse.

Illness Treatment

Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Then there is the subject of vaccination. Canine influenza virus remains a rare, sporadic disease. It is not endemic like parvovirus or canine distemper virus, which all dogs need to be vaccinated against as puppies and as adults. There is a vaccine for the H3N8 virus, though we have never offered it, as the risk of serious infection is so low. That vaccine would not protect a dog against this new strain, so now there is a new H3N2 vaccine that was just released, on “conditional approval” — meaning that safety and efficacy studies have not been completed. If we had a full – blown epidemic here, you bet I’d consider using the vaccine. But we don’t — and I’m not recommending it.
Vomiting Treatment
After your dog has been fasted for a time (usually 8 to 12 hours, but sometimes 24 to 36 hours if there is persistent vomiting and fluids are being given by injection), feeding this formula is less likely to set off another bout of diarrhea or vomiting. Offer small amounts often, allowing the gut to rest an hour or two between feedings, giving less than half the normal amount of a daily ration spread out over the course of the day.
Diarrhea Treatment
Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Episodes of vomiting and diarrhea can be caused by a variety of situations, from access to carcasses during hunting season to dietary indiscretions involving garbage cans. Bacterial infections and toxins can be overwhelming, and acute pancreatitis is just outright life-threatening. If your dog has GI distress, it’s best to get a diagnosis to determine what treatment is needed. In any case, recovery will be faster with a little help in the diet department. We do have some commercially prepared bland diets available, but there’s nothing like a home cooked meal when you’re feeling under the weather.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Diabetes mellitus is a serious disease.......it affects just about every system in a mammal’s body. And in dogs, with rare exception, it is preventable. So when we mention that your dog or cat is overweight and really needs to start a diet, we aren’t just nagging. We really are trying to improve your pet’s health and avoid serious consequences, like diabetes.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Liver and kidney disease are well suited to nutritional therapy and can be helped by acupuncture as well. Best results are seen early in the course of disease, when establishing energy flow and balancing Qi can have a beneficial effect, rather than waiting for severe organ damage to occur.

Poisoning Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
Her two associates, Dr. Karen Hartle and Dr. Meg Gordon, both experienced veterinarians, handle other specialties for the clinic including medicine, soft tissue surgery, behavioral consultation, dentistry and selected orthopedic procedures.
