Noise Phobias? Thunderstorms? Fireworks? We can help!

7/1/2020

 
SILEO---fast-acting oral gel without the sedation!
Picture
Your dog doesn't have to suffer anymore!
Dogs that are nervous or anxious because of noise sensitivities are likely to injure themselves or property because of distress.  Panicked dogs often escape. Very fearful dogs may even bite!

Picture

New Jersey is great fun in the summer---unless you're a dog with noise sensitivities.  Silo can be administered 30-60 minutes before noisy events start.  Sileo's effects last for 2-3 hours (enough time for most fireworks, thunderstorms and parades.)  No more sedated or "gorked" dogs stumbling around all day!

If an event is going to last longer than 2-3 hours, you can safely give your dog another dose of Sileo (anytime beyond 2hrs since the previous dose--up to 5 doses!)

Signs and Symptoms of Noise Phobias

Picture
Not sure if your dog has a noise sensitivity?  One out of every 4 dogs goes!

During loud noises or events, does your dog show any of these symptoms?

Don't let your dog suffer needlessly.  Ask the veterinarians at Barnside about Sileo.

Girl Scout Daisies visit Barnside Veterinary Hospital

2/20/2020

 
Picture
A dozen Daisies (Girl Scouts in kindergarten and first grade) came for a tour of Barnside.  They were able to see how veterinarians care for animals.  They learned to give their pets the same kind of care that their parents show them.  The Associate Humane Society on Shafto Rd in Tinton Falls, was the beneficiary of their generosity, as the girls brought a whole box of toys and other gifts for the shelter pets.

Canine Flu Risk-Assessment Quiz
CANINE INFLUENZA
There have been several outbreaks of Canine Influenza (dog flu) in NJ over the past decade.  In Spring 2018 there was a large outbreak in Brooklyn.  The closure of the Monmouth County SPCA due to Canine Influenza has shown the disease is in our community.
WHAT HAPPENS
Canine influenza is a virus that is highly infectious and spreads quickly from dog to dog.
The virus can be transmitted:
  • Directly from dog to dog
  • From airborne transmission (one dog coughing or sneezing)
  • From contact with contaminated objects or
  • From people touching infected dogs and then touching other dogs.

There are two strains H3N8 which was first reported in 2003 and H3N2 which was first reported in 2015.  Neither of these strains have been shown to be contagious to people.

These are respiratory viruses, different from the bacteria bordetella bronchiseptica (kennel cough) and from the respiratory virus parainfluenza (part of the DHLPP vaccine).

1 out of 5 infected dogs will develop severe symptoms.  Infection with canine influenza can lead to pneumonia and can be fatal.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
  • The symptoms can be similar to many other respiratory diseases.
  • Coughing- dry hacking or productive coughing (wet saliva or yellow phlegm)
  • Nasal discharge- maybe clear, but often yellow or green mucous
  • Tired or lethargic
  • Poor appetite
Some dogs do not show any symptoms, but are still carriers and can pass the virus to other dogs.
DIAGNOSING
Diagnosis can be challenging because many respiratory infections have similar symptoms. Nasal and oral swabs are submitted, often along with blood samples.  The blood sample may be repeated 10 days later, depending on initial test results.
TREATMENT
​Treatment is aimed at supportive care and preventing further spread.  Hospitalization in an Isolation ward, IV fluids for hydration, antibiotics for secondary infections, and other medications as needed.
PREVENTION
Vaccinate your dogs against Canine Influenza Virus (CIV).  At Barnside Veterinary Hospital, we use a vaccine that protects against both strains H3N8 and H3N2.  Dogs receive an initial vaccine and then a booster approximately 3 weeks later.  We recommend annual boosters.
It is important that your dog is kept current on all her vaccinations.  Not sure if she's up-to-date?  Call us, or log-in to your pet's records at Petly Pet Portal.

Girl Scout Troop 243 visits Barnside

12/4/2019

 
Picture
5th graders from Troop 243 of St. Rose Elementary School came for a tour of Barnside Veterinary Hospital. During their visit, the girls learned about the importance of dental care for pets.
Hygiene and cleanliness are the cornerstones of good health. Brushing and bathing pets, laundering blankets and beds, and daily washing of food and water bowls are all simple ways owners can help keep their pets healthy.

Howell Girl Scout Troop 915 Tours Barnside Veterinary Hospital

11/5/2019

 
Picture
Five fifth-grade Girl Scouts visited Barnside Veterinary Hospital.  They learned about using X-rays to diagnoses fractures and the many random objects pets occasionally inappropriately eat.  Dental care for pets (and people) was emphasized.  They also discovered that the math skills they were learning (fractions and decimals) were important to know if you needed to treat every animal from gerbils to goats to Great Danes!

New Home for Barnside Veterinary Hospital's Koi!

3/15/2019

 

Twin Pond Farms to the rescue!

Picture
Gary DiGregorio, owner of local Twin Pond Farms, and his workers, created a safe, temporary enclosure for Barnside Veterinary Hospital's koi.

They hauled out the old massive rocks and layers of roots and sediment.
​
It's hard to believe, but the footprint is the same! It looks so much bigger without the excessive rocks in the pond.
