When new babies meet fur babies

By Alan Green and Kristin Welch

There are moments in our lives that are precious and that we will remember always. Introducing our newborn children to our family pet is one of them. In this issue, Dr. Kristin Welch, CVRC’s esteemed leader of our department of Emergency and Critical Care and a mother of three, takes time to advise new parents on the dos and don’ts of this process.

Chip for safety

By Alan Green and Jessica Schavone

We love our pets and want to keep them safe. This month’s contributor is Jessica Schavone, CVRC’s outreach coordinator and recently certified veterinary technician specialist (VTS – ECC). We are very proud of Jessica for this outstanding accomplishment. She discusses a very important topic that all pet owners need to appreciate. After all, proper pet identification is easy and affordable.

Finding the right balance of nutrition, exercise for your pet

By Ashley McGee  

Many people exercise their four-legged companions to maintain or reduce weight. But a good diet, socialization, mental stimulation and being part of a loving family are all equally as important as exercise for keeping your pet fit.

The Toxic Bracelet

By Alan Green and Lisa Olsen

We have often described the trouble our pets get in when consuming food or things that they shouldn't be eating. Just when we think we’ve seen it all, our wonderful critical care specialist and newest member of our team, Dr. Lisa Olsen, presents a truly remarkable case. Hint: Be careful what you bring back from vacations!

Pets will eat anything and some toxicities are more common than others. Here at Charleston Veterinary Referral Center we frequently encounter dogs that eat chocolate, ibuprofen, grapes/raisins or human medications. However, earlier this year the doctors and staff at CVRC encountered a toxin they’d never had experience with before!

SC AQUARIUM AND CHARLESTON VETERINARY REFERRAL CENTER PARTNERSHIP HELPS SEA TURTLES TO RETURN TO OCEAN

Winter’s rapid approach leads to a good deal of preparation and inconvenience for everyone. Aside from the land-related hassles the season brings, it’s also responsible for an incidence known as “cold stunning” of marine life.

Cold stunning occurs when autumn cold fronts move through and chill coastal water temperatures more quickly than usual, causing cold-blooded sea turtles to go into hypothermic shock. When this happens, sea turtles’ respiration and heart rates slow to dangerously low levels and their immune function becomes compromised.

Snake Envenomation

By Alan Green and Arnaldo Torres

Most Lowcountry pet owners are aware that there are snakes in our woodlands, parks and possibly our own backyards. After the recent flooding, pet owners have reported an increased number of snake sightings; these reptiles can represent a threat to any curious pets that get too close to one. This month Dr. Arnaldo Torres, one of our esteemed emergency doctors, will present an overview of how snakebites affect pets and the treatment options that are available to unlucky victims.
