Pets health
During the month of February all Cook County residents whose pets have a current Rabies Vaccine are eligible to receive $40.00 off the normal cost of spaying/neutering their pet. Limit 2 per family. Also, City of Chicago residents pay a discounted rate on a license for spayed and neutered pets. Residents of the city are required to have all pets licensed.
Please call to set up an appointment: 773-735-2112
Our veterinarians and staff advocate that spaying and neutering is beneficial to your pet’s life. At Pulaski Animal Hospital we take every precaution to make sure your pet has a safe surgical procedure. All surgical candidates have an exam, pre-surgical lab work, IV catheters and IV fluids during surgery, intubations, pulse/oxygen monitoring, pain control and a clean nurturing environment for recovery. Before you consider surgery elsewhere make sure of the services that your pet is receiving.
Benefits of Spay
How unfortunate it is that even with a preventative vaccination available we are still seeing Parvovirus more than 30 years after it first appeared. When the Canine Parvovirus first appeared in 1978 there was no vaccine available and many animals died. The disease is as serious now as before but we know so much more about it and can even prevent it. The doctors at Pulaski Animal Hospital see Parvo on a regular basis in unvaccinated animals and can not stress enough the importance of having your pet updated on the vaccine.
How does a dog become infected with parvovirus?
The main source of the virus is from the feces of other infected dogs. The virus begins to shed just before clinical signs develop and continues for about 10 days. Susceptible dogs become infected by ingesting the virus where it proceeds to the intestinal wall and causes inflammation.
What are the clinical signs of Parvo?
The clinical signs can vary but generally include severe vomiting and diarrhea. The diarrhea often has a strong smell, may contain lots of mucus and may contain blood. Additionally, affected dogs often exhibit a lack of appetite, depression, fever and listlessness. Parvo may affect dogs of all ages but is most common in younger animals. Any unvaccinated puppy that has vomiting or diarrhea should be tested.
