- Due to increased demand, we are extending our February Dental Month Promotions through mid-March! Call now to schedule your pet’s dental cleaning through March 13th and get great deals (as outlined below)!
- Don’t forget- continued heartworm preventative is so important! We live in the south, and the American Heartworm Society recommends year-round preventative due to the high instance of mosquitos in our area. If you are like many others and have a hard time remembering monthly preventative, your dog may be eligable for the Proheart 6 Injection! Proheart is a safe injection that lasts 6 months, allowing for ease of use and continued protection. A quick trip to our hospital for our staff to administer the injection, and you and your pup are on their way. Ask about Proheart 6 if you think it may make your life easier!

This may not be a suprise to some of you, but many people think that human medications are always safe for their pets. This is NOT the case! In fact, you should NEVER give medications to your pets without first checking with our veterinarians to ensure it is safe. Here are a few medications which should NEVER be given to pets:
- Ibuprofen – Ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®) is the most common human medication ingested by pets. Many brands have a sweet outer coating that makes it appealing to pets (think “M&M,” but a potentially deadly one). Ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney failure.
- Adderall® – Adderall® is a combination of four different amphetamines and is used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children. This medication doesn’t have the same effect in pets as it does in people; it acts as a stimulant in our pets and causes elevated heart rate and body temperature, along with hyperactivity, tremors and seizures.
- Zolpidem – Zolpidem (Ambien®) is a sleep-aid for people. Pets commonly eat pills left on the bedside table. Zolpidem may make cats wobbly and sleepy, but most pets become very agitated and develop elevated heart rates.
- Clonazepam – Clonazepam (Klonopin®) is used as an anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety medication. It is sometimes also prescribed as a sleep-aid. When animals ingest clonazepam they can become sleepy and wobbly. Too much clonazepam can lower the blood pressure, leading to weakness or collapse.
- Acetaminophen – Acetaminophen (Tylenol®) is a very common pain killer found in most households. Cats are extremely sensitive to acetaminophen, but dogs can be affected too. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage. It can also cause damage to your pet’s red blood cells so that the cells are unable to carry oxygen – like your body, your pet’s body needs oxygen to survive.
- Naproxen – Naproxen (Aleve®, Naprosyn®) is an over-the-counter pain reliever. Dogs and cats are very sensitive to naproxen and even small amounts can cause stomach ulcers and kidney failure.
- Duloxetine – Duloxetine (Cymbalta®) is prescribed as an antidepressant and anti-anxiety agent. When ingested by pets it can cause agitation, vocalization, tremors and seizures.
- Venlafaxine – Venlafaxine (Effexor®) is an antidepressant. For some unknown reason, cats love to eat the capsules. Ingestion can cause agitation, vocalization, tremors and seizures.

EAH Staff to participate in the Committee for Responsible Pet Ownership fence build!
The Committee for Responsible Pet Ownership is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on how to care for and better understand animals. One of their many missions is to “Unchain York County” – organizing fence builds for dogs currently living on chains and for their families who can not afford to install fences themselves. Unchaining dogs greatly improves their safety and quality of life.
Some of the EbenezerAnimal Hospital staff will be helping with one such fence build on March 14th. We are excited about this volunteer opportunity, and will be helping to unchain three dogs from a Rock Hill family.
Fencing requires funding, so if you would like to help support the cause, please visit

| Everyone knows and loves our Client Care Associate, Michael. But did you know that Michael has been with EAH since 2009? He lives with his wife Carol and they have an adorable gray kitty named Carson (who is very well behaved!) and a princess of a dachshund named Zoe (pictured below with Michael!).
Michael loves to read “all kinds of books” – his interests are varied! He enjoys listening to music, jogging, and most interestingly- entering sweepstakes! Michael enters sweepstakes whenever available and has been doing it for years! We asked him what the best thing he’s ever won… his reply? “Cars” Wow! He’s won three cars total, the nicest of which was a brand new Honda Odyssey!!
Next time you are in, please take a moment to say hi to Michael! |
