Remember ALL our pets deserve a great quality of life... -
All animals deserve a great quality of life and that means more than just access to food and shelter. Helping provide an enriched and stimulating environment for our pets will help them be happy and to thrive in our care. Sometimes we are more in tune to the needs of our cats, dogs, and birds but might overlook those of our smaller quieter friends like rabbits, small rodents, or even fish. In the coming weeks I will talk about simple ways that we can help enhance the quality of our pets lives. As for what instigated this topic- on Friday I set one of my older fish “free” in a beautiful koi pond at a local garden center (with their permission of course!) I recognized that he had outgrown his aquarium and it was time for him to relocate. Click on the link to check out the pics of his new home… and stay tuned for more on this important discussion!

My family’s dog Brodie has been having an especially challenging couple of weeks. Today we took him to see Dr. Kerry Bailey the neurologist over at Oradell Animal Hospital to see if she could help. I was familiar with her strong reputation but had never had the opportunity to meet her in person. I have to say, Dr. Bailey was wonderful with Brodie and offered some very valuable insight into how we could get him back on the right track. I think it is so great when general practitioners and specialists have the opportunity to work together to provide the best possible care for their patients. Not only does Dr. Bailey share her knowledge with local veterinarians like myself, but consults with veterinarians world-wide through the Veterinary Information Network where she is one of their featured neurology specialists. “Thanks Dr. Bailey… Woof Woof!!” -The Brodster :)
Many thanks to the rescue organizations that stepped up this past week and offered to help our little shelter friend Paige after an accident left her partially paralyzed. We are especially grateful to Rescue Me Yorkie Rescue, and Rescue Ridge for going above and beyond.

Partial Wen Resection surgery on a one year old Oranda goldfish. The purpose of the surgery was to restore the vision that was obscured by the overgrowth of the wen tissue over both eyes. The owner reported lethargy and decreased ability to locate food. The fish was anesthetized using Finquil buffered with sodium bicarb in a water bath. The surgery was a great success and recovery smooth!
