A recent study 🔍 by researchers from Imperial College London has found potential links between pesticide contamination and dogs. The study has raised significant concerns regarding the contamination of ponds in Hampstead Heath, where dogs frequently swim. The study found alarming levels of two pesticides, imidacloprid and fipronil, which are commonly used in flea and tick treatments for pets. These chemicals have been banned for agricultural use due to their harmful effects on beneficial insects, such as bees. As veterinarians, understanding the implications of this contamination is crucial for both animal health and environmental stewardship. #veterinarycare #veterinary #integrativeveterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicine #innovativeveterinarycare

No matter how quiet the holiday season is this year, animals can still become stressed due to changes in routine and diet. Here’s how to help your patients through the hustle and bustle with nutritional support. #veterinarycare #veterinary #integrativeveterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicine #innovativeveterinarycare #petstress #petnutritionalsupport #holidaypetstress

A significant number of pet dogs exhibit fear-related behavioral problems, with noise fears, particularly during events like fireworks, being the most prevalent. Despite this common issue, there is a lack of objective evaluations of fear expression in dogs. Recent research utilizing owner-provided video recordings has shed light on fear-related behavior in dogs such as canine behavior during real-life firework situations, providing valuable insights for veterinarians and pet owners alike. #veterinarycare #veterinary #integrativeveterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicine #innovativeveterinarycare #caninebehavior #fearindogs

Recent research has unveiled fascinating insights into the physiological synchronization between dogs and their human companions, particularly in cooperative breeds. A groundbreaking pseudorandomized cross-over study demonstrated significant correlations in heart rate variability (HRV) patterns between dogs and humans during various interactions, highlighting a sophisticated level of emotional co-modulation comparable to human attachment relationships. Let’s explore more about this dog-owner physiological synchrony. #veterinarycare #veterinary #integrativeveterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicine #innovativeveterinarycare

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a seismic shift in the demand for veterinary services in the United States. As pet ownership surged during lockdowns, the need for veterinary care has similarly increased, leading to heightened demands in veterinary labor markets. This situation stands in stark contrast to the “excess capacity” experienced post-Great Recession. That was the time when veterinarians faced limited opportunities and stagnant wages. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for veterinarians and stakeholders in the veterinary field. #veterinarycare #veterinary #integrativeveterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicine #innovativeveterinarycare #veterinarylabormarkets

Ulcerative keratitis remains a significant challenge in veterinary ophthalmology, affecting numerous companion animals. These painful corneal defects, whether melting or indolent, traditionally require frequent administration of antibiotic eye drops and corneal healing agents, often resulting in compliance challenges for both veterinarians and pet owners. A new treatment studied in rabbit models has brought hope in the shape of curcumin nanoparticles for veterinary corneal ulcers. #veterinarycare #veterinary #integrativeveterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicine #innovativeveterinarycare

Veterinarians often face challenges in accurately diagnosing masses of mesenchymal and epithelial origin in dogs, especially when relying solely on computed tomography (CT). Recent advancements, particularly dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), show promise in improving diagnostic accuracy. This blog post explores the significance of DCE-MRI parameters, particularly Ktrans, and discusses prevention protocols and integrative treatment options for canine tumors. #veterinarycare #veterinary #integrativeveterinarymedicine #veterinarymedicine #innovativeveterinarycare
