Saffy is a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat who came into the ER with dilated pupils, abnormal breathing, and loss of muscle control. The day before her visit, she had received a topical preventative medication and was having a reaction to it.

Our team thoroughly evaluated Saffy and provided treatment for her signs, including addressing her tremors and her tongue sticking out of her mouth. Saffy seemed to be improving and went home, but she returned for a recheck with continued signs.

We kept her overnight for supportive care and tested her for a rare MDR1 mutation, which can make pets more sensitive to certain medications. Saffy's MDR1 test came back positive, helping us better understand why she wasn't fully recovering and guiding us in effectively treating her.

We're thrilled to share that Saffy is nearly back to normal, and her experience is contributing to the advancement of veterinary knowledge and treatment options for cats with this mutation.

Meet Fizzle, one of our beloved Cardiology patients at MedVet Dayton. Since 2021, Dr. Brent Aona and the clinical team have been providing exceptional care for Fizzle, who's currently battling degenerative valve disease. In 2022, Fizzle embarked on a journey to Colorado State University's Veterinary Hospital (@csuvethospital), where he underwent a successful mitral valve surgery (v-clamp). We're overjoyed to share that Fizzle is thriving at home, and we eagerly anticipate his rechecks. Keep up the incredible progress, Fizzle!

Holiday lights offer a beautiful glow that can be intriguing to your pets, but chewing on cords can result in serious injuries such as electrical shock and oral burns.

Keep your pets safe from electrical mishaps by:
1️⃣ Ensuring cords are less accessible by using cord organizers, tape, and electrical cord covers.
2️⃣ Try a bitter, pet-friendly cord spray to keep gnawing to a minimum.
3️⃣ If you notice pet damage on light strings, replace that string as exposed wires can burn your pet or start a fire.

Feel better, Arya!

Seasonal décor helps us get into the holiday spirit – but it can also be a danger to our pets. Keep these tips in mind when decorating your home this holiday season:
🔹 Glass décor, like ornaments, can be knocked down and broken, which can lead to cuts.
🔹 Be especially careful with items that can be ingested and lodged in throats and digestive tracts.
🔹 Be mindful of where you hang decorations and keep breakable or dangerous ones out of your pet’s reach.

We’ve got more holiday safety tips over on our blog (link in bio).

Did you know that nearly half of all dogs in the U.S. are considered “mutts”? A combination of various breeds constitutes a mutt and that can be a good thing for a dog’s longevity — given their higher gene diversity, mixed breed dogs are less likely to develop heredity diseases and disorders.

To celebrate National Mutt Day share a photo of your favorite mixed breed dog and tag us 🐶
