National Pet Week

May 7th-12th


We celebrate many things throughout the year and our pets are no exception.  Each year the veterinary community dedicates a week to join you in this celebration and we encourage you to stop by for some fun, food, and giveaways.

Drug Free, Surgery Free and Pain Free

K-Laser Therapy

We have recently added K-Laser Class IV therapeutic treatments for advanced pain relief and enhanced tissue healing at Bailey Veterinary Clinic.  We will be able to help your animal in ways we could not before, in a safe, effective and drug free manner.  Examples are skin conditions, mouth and ear infections, arthritis, soft tissue injury, post surgical pain and many more

Laser therapy works by stimulation production of cellular energy in damaged cells and by enhancing the cell membrane permeability.  This promotes the speed and the quality of healing, enhances the exchange of nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane and improves elasticity of injured tissues. 

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser Therapy, or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects.  These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling.  Laser Therapy has been widely utilize in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970's.  Now, after FDA clearance in 2002, Laser Therapy is being used extensively in the United States

Numerous Studies Show that Laser Therapy Can Help With:

•Osteoarthritis
•Joint Pain
•Tendinopathies
•Edema and Congestion
•Post-Surgical Pain
•Ligament Sprains
•Muscle Strains
•Puncture Wounds
•Post-Traumatic Injury
•Neck and Back Pain
•Hip Dysplasia
•Burns
•Chronic Wounds
•Rehabilitation
•Post-Orthopedic Surgical Recovery

What to Expect

There is no patient sedation or restraint required and the experience is usually pleasant and comforting to them

Although improvement is often seen after the first visit, most patients require several treatments [3 to 8] for greatest benefit.  For most conditions, we recommend a multi-visit treatment plan.  Treatment times do vary in length.  Your veterinarian will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your pets condition.

Senior Wellness Program-Pets 6 Years and Older

There are many health problems common to older cats and dogs that can be effectively managed or often avoided if timely measures are taken.  Unfortunately, just like us, animals are more likely to develop health problems as they get older.  Routine comprehensive examinations can detect some problems but to detect many abnormalities early diagnostic test are necessary.  Often by the time symptoms are evident, permanent damage has already occurred.

To ensure the health of older animals (6 years and older), we have developed a Senior Wellness Program.  It is designed to allow your pet to grow old in grace and comfort.  To do this, we need to identify diseases earlier in the development of the disease process- to be more proactive in the health care of our pets.  Ask any of your doctors, receptionists and technicians about this new program- What test are run, the affordable price and how to become a partner in our Senior Wellness Program.

This program will screen for the ailments effecting senior animals at an affordable price* and includes the following:

Basic Pet Flea Control

Spring is here and so are the fleas and ticks.  Last year the flea population was extreme - something we don't have to remind you of.  We encourage you to be proactive and attack them before they attack your pets.  Fleas are also an intermediate host of tapeworms and when a pet ingest the flea they then get tapeworms.  Sometimes your pets can be so infested that they become anemic and require medical attention.  We offer single doses, 3 packs and 6 packs of Frontline, 4 packs or 6 packs of Advantage and Advantix and single doses and 6 packs of Comfortis oral tablets (by prescription only).  Don't delay, stop by today and let our reception staff help you with your pet's flea treatment needs 

You can visit:

10 Signs of Illness in Cats

Sometimes it's difficult to identify when your cat's not feeling well.  Watch for these signs of illness, and consult with your veterinarian as soon as possible if your pet begins to show any of them.

1. Inappropriate elimination

    A Cat that urinates inappropriately could have any number of conditions associated with the behavior, including lower urinary tract disease, kidney disease, urinary tract infection, and diabetes mellitus.  It can also be a sign of arthritis, which makes it difficult for cats to get into the litter box.

2. Changes in interaction

    A decrease in activity is often a sign of arthritis or systemic illness, while an increase in activity can be caused by hyperthyroidism.

3. Changes in activity

    A decrease in activity is often a sign of arthritis or systemic illness, while an increase in activity can be caused by hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid). 

4. Changes in food and water consumption

    If your cat is sleeping more often than normal (keeping in mind that average adult cats may sleep 16 to 18 hours a day -though much of that is "catnapping"), it could be a sign of underlying disease.  

5. Changes in food and water consumption

    Most cats are not finicky eaters.  Decreased food intake can be a sign of several disorders, ranging from poor dental health to cancer.  Increase food consumption can be caused by diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroid, or other health problems

6. Unexplained weight loss or gain

    Sudden weight loss can be a sign of hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, or a host of other diseases.  Obesity, on the other hand, can cause an increased risk of diabetes mellitus, joint disease, and other problems.

7.Changes in grooming

    Patches of hair loss or a greasy or matted appearance can signal an underlying disease.  Cats who have difficulty grooming often suffer from fear, anxiety, obesity, or other illnesses.  An increase in grooming may signal a skin problem including fleas.

8. Signs of stress

    Stressed cats may exhibit signs of depression, hide more, or spend more time awake and scanning their environment.  These signs may indicate a medical condition, so it's important to rule out physical ailments before addressing the stress behaviorally.

9. Change in vocalization

    An increase in vocalization or howling is often seen with underlying condition like hyperthyroidism or high blood pressure.  Many cats also vocalize more if they're in pain or anxious.  

10. Bad breath

    Bad breath is an early indicator of an oral problem- studies have shown that 70% of cats have gum disease as early as age 3yrs old.
