Coping with the Death of Your Pet

Have you recently lost a pet?

We all consider our pets to be part of our family, and when your pet dies, it can be a very emotional time.  There are a number of stages of grief that you may go through, from denial to anger to depression. 

Dr. Eric Bregman of the Reunion Veterinary Hospital sat down with psychologist Dr. Tom Ferraro to discuss how people move through the process of grief after losing their pet.  See the video here-

There are many websites that can give you tips and advice to help you better understand why you’re feeling the way you are.  Here are a few to check out-

- ASPCA

- The Humane Society

- Pet-Loss.org

The Reunion Veterinary Hospital is located in the Ovation Shopping Center in Davenport, Fl.   The veterinarians at our practice have a combined 80+ years of experience caring for pets.  Follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

Tips to Keep Your Pet Safe Outdoors

Are you and your pet spending some time in the great outdoors this summer?  If so, you and your pet are susceptible to many types of insect bites, some of which could be dangerous.   We surfed around the internet to find some articles that will give you tips on how to prevent insect bites and what you should do if you see signs of an insect bite.

The Ionia Sentinel-Standard had this article titled “How to Identify, Respond to Allergic Reactions, Insect Bites on Pets”.  This article reminded us how important it is to check your pet for ticks, and how you should go about removing them.

The Pet Assure Newsletter posted this article that focuses on dogs, and gives you tips on removing bee stings.  It also shows a list of symptoms that can occur from insect bites.

The AVMA posted an article titled "Disease Precautions for Outdoor Enthusiasts and their Companion Animals”.  It’s a reference guide for outdoor enthusiasts that gives a list of disease precautions for you and your pets.

If you notice your pet may have been bit by an insect but are not sure what to do, feel free to reach out to us.  The Reunion Veterinary Hospital is open 7 days a week, and our staff will give you advice immediately.  For more tips on protecting your pets, follow us on Facebook or Twitter!

Protecting Your Pet During Hurricane Season

As they say, it's better to be safe than sorry, so the Reunion Veterinary Hospital would like to give you some tips on how to protect yourself and your pets in the event a hurricane is headed to our area.

We found THIS ARTICLE that gives great tips what you should do to protect your pets. Some excerpts-

This pup from Brooklyn was prepared for Hurricane Sandy

"CREATE AN EMERGENCY KIT FOR YOUR PET BEFORE A DISASTER
- Keep documentation of your pet’s vaccination history in the emergency kit.
- Have a current photograph of your pet in the kit.
- Keep a checklist in the kit of items to pull together when a storm is imminent, including Collars, a Leash, a Carrier, and Medications.
- Have an evacuation strategy"

Another great article we found came from our hometown- www.ABrooklynDogsLife.com. This article may be a few years old, but all of the information is still relevant.

The City of Davenport also has tips on what you can do to be ready for a hurricane. There are a number of Disaster Preparation Links and Important Contact Numbers.

Reunion Vet Hospital Boasts The Newest Facility & The Youngest Veterinarian In Training

Say hello to one of Reunion Vet Hospital's newest patients... Seen here with the youngest vet-in-training.

Dr. Bregman's daughter Orly helps with the morning feeding.

This cute little puppy was presented to our office last week for seizing and the inability to walk and move.

After a workup including IV fluids, x-rays, and bloodwork, he was normal the next morning.  He appeared to have ingested some sort of toxin, and the supportive care we provided got him back to normal.

The Reunion Veterinary Hospital opened for business in the Ovation Shopping Plaza last month.  We'd be happy to give our new neighbors a tour of the facility.   Stop by anythime!
