Keep you dog safe from the Blue-Green Algae
|
|
As August is nearing its end and Labor Day is around the corner, many pet owners are traveling to the nearest lake for their last summer adventure. "Animal owners are suggested to learn more about blue-green algae, often called "pond scum". The algae is a health concern for both people and animals. The algae grows best on hot, dry, calm days, just like our summers here in Indiana."
"Livestock, pets and wild animals can be poisoned by the toxins produced by some algal blooms. Small animals can ingest a toxic dose quickly. Dogs are particularly susceptible to blue-green algae poisoning because the scum can attach to their coats and be swallowed during self-cleaning. Clinical signs of blue green algae poisoning in animals include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, weakness, seizures and sudden death, especially in livestock. If you see a blue-green algae bloom in the water or where you visit, do not allow pets or livestock swim in or drink from areas where blooms are seen. If pets swim in scummy water, rinse them off with soap and water immediately to remove the toxin. Do not let them lick the algae off their fur. Direct livestock to water sources away from algal infected waters. If your animal shows any of the clinical signs listed above, contact your veterinarian immediately."

How We Help Pets & People In Need
|
"
I came in yesterday and had a young kitten I recently rescued, vaccinated, and tested for feline leukemia. The staff were all very friendly! They all clearly love their job and they were eager to make sure he was healthy enough to join my small zoo. Lol. H.O.P.E. is a great resource for our community....it is affordable too!

Employee Spotlight: Dr. Bates
|
|
Dr. Bates is 1 of our 3 Doctors of Veterinary Medicine here at H.O.P.E. for Animals. She joined our team in August of 2017 and has been such a great asset to the team! Dr. Bates studied at Ross University in the Caribbean (how exciting, right?!) and spent her clinical year at Purdue. If you come to our Wellness clinic, you have probably interacted with her!
Dr. Bates excels at riding motorcycles, but here at H.O.P.E. she shines in our Wellness clinic. She is the doctor in Wellness every day except for Wednesdays, where she is helping out in surgery. She excels at helping clients understand why we are doing what we are doing as well as making sure she gets to know all of our employees on a personal level. She is always quick to volunteer for our vaccine clinics and you will see her attending all of our events.
Dr. Bates is no doubt a cat lover! She has 4 cats of her own and if it were up to her, she would take in even more! When she's not working, you will find her on her motorcycle cruising the streets, camping, hiking, and delving into the history of this world we live in.
We have so much appreciation for all of the hard work and dedication Dr. Bates does here at H.O.P.E. for Animals. She always has this inspiring vibe to her and helps turn anyone's bad mood around. We love having Dr. Bates a part of our team!
