10 Household Plants That Are Dangerous to Dogs and Cats - Asparagus fern (also called emerald feather, emerald fern, sprengeri fern, plumosa fern, and lace fern) is toxic to dogs and cats. The toxic agent in this plant is sapogenin—a steroid found in a variety of plants. If a dog or cat ingests the berries of this plant, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or abdominal pain can occur. Allergic dermatitis (skin inflammation) can occur if an animal is repeatedly exposed to this plant.

A Pet Owner's Guide to Flea Control - Fleas are blood-feeding parasites that can infest many species of birds and mammals. Although fleas on dogs and cats don’t infest people, fleas may bite people if an area is heavily infested. Flea infestation is one of the most common medical problems veterinarians see, and pets suffer greatly from this condition. Flea bites can trigger severe allergic reactions in some pets. The intense itching caused by flea infestation causes pets to scratch and bite themselves. This can lead to skin wounds, skin infections, and general misery for your pet. Even if your pet is not allergic to flea bites, fleas can transmit serious diseases, such as bartonellosis (the bacteria that causes “cat scratch disease” in people), and other parasites, like tapeworms. Read More

Collars and tags are popular, effective methods of identification, but they can come off. Microchips, which are implanted just under the pet’s skin, are one way to permanently identify pets. Read More

02/01/2023 - As many of our clients are aware, Thompson Veterinary Clinic currently shares a weekend emergency call rotation with Escanaba Veterinary Clinic. This alliance has worked well to be able to offer emergency care to our clients as both facilities search for additional Veterinarians to join their teams. To continue to be able to offer emergency care it has been decided to share weekday emergency call rotation as well as the weekend rotation. This will go into effect February 1st, 2023 and continue until further notice. When calling your regular facility, you will be notified of the location that is on call. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our clients and continue to search for a remedy for the shortage of veterinary emergency care in the Upper Peninsula.
