COVID-19 Update
Brook Ellis Pet Hospital, like many businesses big and small, is concerned with the unprecedented global challenges that we are facing due to COVID-19. Please be assured that during this time of uncertainty, the health and safety of the BEPH team members and customers is our highest priority.
At this time, we are offering both in person and curbside phone appointments. We installed state-of-the-art antiviral units in our examination rooms. Face masks are encouraged, but are not required. If you are feeling ill at the time of the appointment, please reschedule it or request a curbside drop off appointment to keep our team members safe.
Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease is a serious and extremely contagious viral disease of domesticated and wild rabbits. Since 2020, the RHDV2 strain has become endemic in California. Due to the high risk of mortality, we advise all rabbits (both indoor and outdoor) to receive the vaccination. We offer the Medgene vaccination at Brook-Ellis Pet Hospital.
Heartworm Disease in Dogs and Cats
Heartworm disease, or dirofilariasis, is a serious and potentially fatal disease. It is
caused by a blood-borne parasite known as Dirofilaria immitis, which is carried by mosquitos. In Orange County, we have seen a dramatic increase in heartworm disease due to the booming mosquito population. We advise that all dogs and cats take monthly heartworm preventative medication.
