View in browser PET HEALTH WEEKLY NEWSLETTER The Fourth of July is just a week away, and while fireworks may be thrilling for humans, they can be terrifying for our animal companions. More pets go missing around Independence Day than any other time of the year, as they often run to escape the flashing lights and unpredictable booms. Plan ahead to minimize their fear and keep your pet safe! Upcoming Online Event! Pets with Cushing's Disease, also known as hyperadrenocorticism, may experience a range of health issues due to the excessive production of cortisol — a hormone essential for stress response and metabolic regulation. Join us on Wednesday, July 17th at 6PM ET as Dr. Dennis Slade, Specialist in Internal Medicine at AMC, discusses the major forms of Cushing's Disease in dogs and cats. While the variety of clinical signs can make diagnosing this disorder a challenge, with proper treatment and monitoring, pets can maintain a good quality of life. This is a free, online-only event hosted via Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to all registered participants the day of the event. Please email UsdanIn...@amcny.org with any questions.

Mast Cell Tumors in Dogs & Cats Our latest webinar is now available to watch online! As our pets age, it’s common to notice some lumps and bumps. While many of these growths are harmless, it’s important to be aware of the risk of skin cancer, particularly mast cell tumors. Mast cell tumors are the most prevalent skin cancer in dogs and the second most common in cats. These tumors can vary widely in appearance, differing in color, shape, and size. While they primarily develop in the skin, mast cell tumors can also affect internal organs such as the bone marrow, spleen, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. Watch as Dr. Jonathan Ferrari, Service Head of Surgical Oncology, discusses the diagnosis and treatment of mast cell tumors in pets. While the thought of your beloved companion developing cancer may be frightening, many pets can have a good and prolonged quality of life as long as the tumor is caught early and treated properly.
