Tips for Adopting a New Pet

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T12:49:34-05:00Updated: September 20th, 2012|Pet Care, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

For many of us, pets are like potato chips. We can’t have just one. When that yearning hits, it is a force to reckon with. Others of us simply cross paths with a pet up for adoption and know it was meant to be. My last several pets that I got through adoption were just so. […]

Preparing for Natural Disasters with Your Pets

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T12:49:47-05:00Updated: September 13th, 2012|Pet Care, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

I have been glued to the local weather broadcast for days. It’s a good thing I don’t have cable, or I might never have turned off the Weather Channel! Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac skirted past my home in South Florida a few weeks ago and made this vet pay homage to nature’s fury. Rain bands, tornadoes, thunder […]

Allergic Reactions

Oftentimes I get ideas for articles based on patients I see or from questions our ADW clients ask. This article hits closer to home, but many pets show up to the vet clinic in a similar predicament.

Last week I briefly touched a mango. I woke up the next morning with my left eye nearly swollen shut. […]

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T12:49:16-05:00Updated: August 30th, 2012|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

We need them. We hate them. We use them especially for our feline friends. They come in particularly handy when transporting small pets. We curse when we have to shell out good money for them. Yes, I’m talking about pet carriers.

If you have a diabetic pet, the odds are you’ve taken your pet to your veterinary […]

Flying with Your Pets

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2014-04-24T14:12:46-04:00Updated: August 23rd, 2012|Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

I’m back in Oregon, vacationing and visiting family and friends who I left behind 2 years ago when I moved to sunny, tropical Florida (I call that move to a warmer climate my mid-life crisis). I think back on my trek to Florida with my 3 cats.

As a veterinarian you’d think I would have had smooth […]

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T11:49:57-05:00Updated: August 16th, 2012|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

You saved up. You bought your tickets. You arranged and rearranged your schedules so that your entire family can go on vacation together. Then it hits you: if the entire family is going on vacation together, who will take care of your diabetic pet? Diabetic pets are a bit “special needs” compared to the typical pet […]

Let’s hear it for summertime! Whether it is a hike along the river, a weekend camping or a long road trip, many of us get out and about with our pets in the summer more than the rest of the year. With diabetic pets, you may need to tote along a few extra supplies so you […]

Heat Stroke in Pets: ‘Tis the Season

By Dr . Joi Sutton|2016-12-29T11:49:25-05:00Updated: August 2nd, 2012|Pet Care, Pet Diabetes, Pet Newsletter|0 Comments

I spent my first 8 years as a veterinarian working in the ER. Emergency vets unfortunately treat more heat stroke patients than the average vet. Even if the pet starts treatment at their regular practice, the heat stroke patient is often transferred to a 24 hour facility for ongoing care. I remember some heartbreaking situations of […]

The WHY

For my dog-owning readers, I apologize. The next 2 articles are geared toward diabetic cats. As one internist once told me, “cats are from a different planet”. Diabetic or not, cats have very different nutritional needs than dogs and humans. Cats are carnivores. Cats eat very few carbs in nature. When I interact with our […]
