Make sure you get your pet's teeth sparkling because February is National Pet Dental Month! If you have not examined your pet's dental health lately, it's a good time to do so.
The risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease is the same for your pet as it is for people. If left untreated, bacteria build-up, plaque and tartar, can lead to infection and more severe health problems.

Wyllow Pet Hospital now has a state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging unit!
We are pleased to offer Dodge County pet owners a new option for non-invasive diagnostics for their pets.
Ultrasound can be utilized to image in great detail a variety of body areas and organs. It is useful in evaluation of almost all abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen etc.,) as well as the heart and reproductive tract. In addition, ultrasound can be used to help guide biopsies safely into a structure to be sampled, detect masses, intestinal irregularities or lymph node enlargement, and is the absolute best way to assess a pet’s heart structure and function – such as when murmurs are ausculted. In fact, our new unit even provides color flow Doppler, allowing us to actually “see” the blood flow through vessels and organs! How do you know if your pet should have an ultrasound?
Because we can image entirely through an organ – evaluating its texture, structure, and vasculature - this imaging is often recommended when an abnormality is suspected or detected, and further information about an organ or system is needed. However, many people often elect routine imaging of apparently healthy pets for otherwise undetected health concerns.
Ultrasound is a safe and versatile tool for doctors and pet owners alike! It is a very affordable alternative to other diagnostic procedures. We at WPH are so excited to bring this technology option to the pets of our area. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like more information!
Pets can't say how they're feeling- it's usually how they look or act that tells you something is wrong. You play a key role in helping your pet combat illness and stay as healthy as possible. Awareness of the warning signs and regular preventative health screens, including a physical exam and blood work, are best ways to ensure your pet lives a long, healthy and happy life.
