New Senior Cat guidelines published
The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) has published new guidelines for senior cats. Over the next few weeks, Dr. Barlow and myself will review these and incorporate them into the practice.

Continuing Education in Austin
As I write this, I'm in Austin Texas at a Continuing Education (CE) seminar. The weather is 80 and raining.
CE is an important part of a veterinarian's commitment to pets. New diagnostic and treatment options are always happening. CE is one place where Dr. Barlow and I learn about those things.
CE seminars also allow us to obtain new skills in areas that interest us. For myself, that typically means wet labs (lectures where we get hands-on training with equipment) with minimal invasive surgery techniques.
Other lectures can include non-medical topics. For example, I'm typing this during a break on a 4 hour lecture on animal welfare.

Doggy Daycare
We are now offering Doggy Daycare. As many of you know, we have a large fenced in area behind the Animal Hospital. That will be the doggy daycare area.
If you want to know more, please call the Hospital at 603-529-4999.
I hope to have a webcam working out there shortly.

Cat Playroom in now streaming on the web.
We now have our Cat Playroom Webcam online and streaming. Go to http://www.weareanimalhospital.com/boarding.htm and click Cat Boarding Webcam. It will ask you to download an ActiveX control from AXIS. This control allows you to view the webcam.
This ActiveX control download does require Administrator privileges and we have found some client's machines at work won't download due to security settings set up by their company. We have not had a problem with client's machines at their house.

Dr. Dutton is now an Avian Specialist
As many of you know, I do a ton of exotic pets.
I am now very happy to announce that I completed my Avian Specialty work and passed the examination. So in addition to being a Canine/Feline Specialist, I can now state that I am an Avian Specialist.

Local source for reptile supplies
As most of you know, we do a fair amount of exotic pets here at the hospital. It's a niche group of animals that's fun and interesting to work with.
A new client of ours owns a reptile store in Pinardville and my son and I had the occasion to visit him last week. It's Dave's Dragons (679 Mast Road, Manchester, NH 03102. 606-2120). He has a varied assortment of reptiles, frogs and pocket pet mammals along with a good assortment of quality supplies.
So if you are in the market for a reptile or supplies, check him out. He is close by, just 15.8 miles south of the hospital.

Dr. Barlow's New Puppy
I have some exciting news!!!! Last weekend I welcomed a new member to the Barlow family, a little yellow lab puppy! Adam (my boyfriend) and I named him Cannon, after the ski resort in northern New Hampshire. He comes to the Weare Animal Hospital every day that I am working. If you come in, I'd be more than happy to introduce you! Cannon's a very smart pup and is a great addition to the Weare Animal Hospital family.
