Leroy came into OSVS through our Urgent Care service for evaluation of a wound from an altercation with his housemate. He had an IV catheter placed and was sedated for his wound to be explored and debrided. A drain was placed since there was significant pocketing which will allow the fluid to be able to drain. Leroy was such a good boy, he showed his belly and even let Dr. Stella examine his boo boo!! OSVS, and every other emergency facility in the region, is dealing with an unprecedented caseload of seriously ill and injured patients. We are having to turn away patients that are not in life-threatening danger on most days, and limit most of our emergency care to patients requiring immediate hospitalization. To help with this influx we are now offering Urgent Care through our Emergency Room. Urgent Care appointments are open most days from 8 AM – 6 PM and are available on a first-call, first-serve basis. Your pet will be seen by the attending veterinarian for non-life-threatening emergencies. We hope this helps to reduce the wait time in our Emergency Room and gets pets medical treatment faster for non-urgent ailments.

Duncan Phillips, IVC Evidensia CEO for the UK & IE, has called on the UK government to overhaul veterinary support and regulations. In an opinion piece published on our website, he has made three requests. The first is to encourage the return of overseas vets, specifically EU vets, especially in light of the new tougher migration regulations announced by the government in January. Second, Duncan has requested that the government increase funding for UK universities when it comes to veterinary courses. And finally, he has asked for an update to the regulatory framework, enabling vet nurses to expand their roles.

FIP Awareness: A Call to Action for Our Feline Friends Every day, countless cat owners confront the heartbreaking reality of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Many are faced with the unimaginable decision to say goodbye to their beloved companions, sometimes because their veterinarians haven’t had access to resources about effective treatments like GS-441524. These stories are all too common: families filled with hope are shattered when they hear their cat’s diagnosis, only to be met with outdated information and limited options. It’s devastating to know that some pet owners are left believing there’s no hope, leading to unnecessary euthanasia. We hear the cries for help from desperate cat lovers who wish they had known about GS-441524—an antiviral that has saved many lives. This is not just an issue of individual stories; it’s a widespread problem that needs urgent attention. As a community, we must raise our voices to demand greater awareness and education for veterinarians about FIP and its treatments. No cat should have to suffer or be lost due to a lack of understanding. Let’s unite to advocate for our feline friends. Together, we can spread the word, ensure that every pet owner knows their options, and bring hope to those facing the unimaginable. #FIPAwareness #GS441524 #SaveOurCats #FIP #FelineInfectiousPeritonitis #Veterinarians #CompoundingPharmacy #GSFIP

Canine Parvovirus Outbreaks Are On the Rise – What You Need to Know to Protect Your Dogs . In the last few weeks, shelters in Tabriz have reported a 30% surge in canine parvovirus (CPV) cases. This highly contagious and often fatal virus is a significant threat, especially to unvaccinated puppies and vulnerable dogs. What is Canine Parvovirus? Canine parvovirus affects the gastrointestinal system, causing:        Severe vomiting        Bloody diarrhea        Dehydration and lethargy Without immediate care, it can be deadly within 48-72 hours. The virus is highly resilient and spreads easily through contact with infected dogs or contaminated surfaces. How Can We Prevent This? Vaccination is critical: Ensure your dog’s vaccines are up to date, especially for puppies! Vaccination is the most powerful defense. Keep it clean: Shelters, kennels, and dog parks should adopt strict sanitation protocols. Early action saves lives: If your dog shows symptoms, like vomiting or lethargy, seek veterinary care immediately. Veterinarians, animal shelter workers, and pet owners must stay vigilant to keep this virus under control. Together, we can help protect our furry companions from this devastating disease. #CanineHealth #VeterinaryCare #CPV #VaccinationMatters #PetSafety #VeterinaryVirology #AnimalShelter
