Jaundice (also called icterus)

It occurs when there is an excessive buildup of bilirubin in the blood, causing a yellow discoloration of the skin, gums, the whites of the eyes (sclera), and sometimes the ears.

It is caused by three main factors: red blood cell destruction (pre-hepatic), liver disease or damage (hepatic), or bile duct blockages (post-hepatic)

Jaundice indicates a potentially serious underlying condition, and prompt diagnosis greatly improves the chances of successful treatment.

If you see this sign in your pets, immediately bring them to your veterinarian for proper diagnosis, treatment and management.

To all fur parents: during the past months, we have observed an increase in distemper cases coming from different areas particularly here in candon, salcedo, sta lucia, sta cruz, santiago and more.

Here is an overview of the Distemper virus. If you see signs from your pets, best to consult your veterinarian for proper management.

We also encourage pet owners to make sure that your pets complete their vaccination program (administered by a licensed vet) and be up to date with their booster shots and deworming schedules.

Always remember, PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE

Demodex mites obtained from a dog

Demodex mites are microscopic parasites that normally live in the hair follicles and oil glands of healthy dogs. They are a natural part of the skin’s ecosystem and are usually kept under control by the dog’s immune system. However, when the immune system is immature or weakened, the mites can multiply excessively, leading to demodicosis (also called demodectic mange).

Demodicosis commonly causes hair loss, redness, scaling, thickened skin, and secondary bacterial skin infections. It may appear as a few localized patches or become generalized, affecting large areas of the body. Puppies are most commonly affected due to their developing immune systems, while adult-onset demodicosis may indicate an underlying illness or immune suppression.

Unlike sarcoptic mange, demodicosis is generally not contagious to other dogs or humans, as Demodex mites are normal inhabitants of canine skin and are typically passed from the mother to her puppies shortly after birth. Early diagnosis and appropriate veterinary treatment greatly improve the prognosis.
