If you’ve just recently brought a Corgi into your home then you may
not know yet if he’s been microchipped. If he’s not, you’ll need to decide if
you want him to be. Your vet can help you with this. First, your vet will run a
scanner over your Corgi to see if he already has a microchip. If he does then
your vet can give you the ID number and help you make sure the number is
registered with your contact information. If your dog doesn’t have a microchip,
you should consider getting one for your Corgi. The microchip is injected
beneath the surface of your dog’s skin just between the shoulder blades.
Experts say the process is similar to receiving a shot and is done in a matter
of seconds. Once done, your pet will have an official tracking number assigned.
You will need to register that number with a security site. Ask
your vets Wake Forest NC for details.
Did you know
that one of the ways to provide treatment for an FeLV positive Korat or other
FeLV positive cat is to make changes to his daily diet. FeLV stands for the
Feline Leukemia Virus and it can develop anemia, lymphoma or other cancers, and
even put your cat at risk for contracting other illnesses due to its
suppression of the immune system. The best thing you can do for your FeLV cat
is to protect him from secondary illnesses that can arise because of the
weakened immune system. For instance, keep your cat away from other cats since
they could be carrying other illnesses. Make sure your cat is on a healthy diet
free of raw meat, eggs and unpasteurized dairy products. These products may
harbor bacteria or parasites that could harm your cat since he is already ill.
In addition, take your cat in for routine checkups with your Wake Forest,
NC veterinary clinic team.
