November News From Acres

Happy November, everyone!

Our Xmas Party is fast approaching, so plan on joining us on December 4th from 12 to 2 for treats, fun and photos with Santa.

Since this time of year is so busy, Dr. Lee isn't planning a Horse Chiropractic trip to New Brunswick, but if there's enough interest, she'll schedule one. Please call or email the hospital if you want a horse chiro visit this month or in December.

Remember, this time of year is supposed to be FUN, so make sure you schedule time to relax and try not to take it all too seriously.

Peace and Joy!

Canine Parvovirus

As some of you already know, there's a major outbreak in some parts of HRM of the canine parvovirus. We cannot stress enough how important it is that ALL dogs are immunized against this killer. It is extremely contagious, difficult and expensive to treat, but easy and inexpensive to prevent. Once a dog is infected, even with aggressive, costly treatment, the chances of survival are not good.

Please make sure your dog's immunization is up to date. If you are unsure, please see your vet and ensure your dog is safe before it is too late.

For more info, read this article, it gives a good summary of the virus.
