HEAT STROKE- How to avoid cooking your pet this summer.

As temperatures rise into the high 30’s some pets here in Perth will be hospitalised for the catastrophic effects of heatstroke. Many will survive if their owners are aware of the signs and take immediate life-saving action. Sadly despite the best of veterinary care, some may die of the complications of this horrific condition.
Dogs are most commonly affected but vets will also see cases in rabbits, guinea pigs, and other pocket pets.

As dogs cannot sweat, their main method of cooling themselves is to evaporate water by panting, in addition to drinking water, decreasing their activity, seeking shade and finding cool surfaces to lie on.

Signs of heat stroke include excessive, distressed, harsh sounding panting and then collapse. Dogs with heat stroke are trying so hard to breathe faster, that they often cannot stop for long enough to drink water.

Particularly at risk are geriatric animals, short nosed dogs which always have noisy breathing, dogs with stridor due to narrowing of their upper airway, and any dog which already has heart or lung disease, is obese or already ill. We have also seen young excitable dogs develop heat stroke secondary to chasing balls or playing excessively on hot days.

Consequences of heat stroke are death or damage to any organ, commonly muscle damage and bleeding disorders. Other complications include seizures, severe shock, ulceration, bleeding from the stomach and intestines causing blood in both vomit and diarrhoea, damage to the kidneys, liver, brain and lungs.

If your dog starts to develop distressed panting and excessively noisy breathing in hot weather, immediately stop any exercise. Actively cool your dog for at least five minutes by continuously saturating the whole coat with a hose or placing under a cold water shower. If your pet does not appear completely back to normal after 5 minutes of active cooling then you should immediately seek veterinary attention for your pet. Cooling them with a hose is essential first aid, but in moderate and severe cases intravenous fluids and medications to treat complications may be required. Their chance of survival is much better if medical care is started rapidly; waiting a few hours to see if they will get better can be associated with a decreased chance of survival.

While driving to the veterinary clinic have the air conditioning on full or have the windows open while continuing to wet the dog’s coat with a water bottle. If your dog is small take a blanket or towel with you (just in case you manage to drop their body temperature too low and they start shivering).

Safety tips for dog owners over the hot days ahead include:
1) Do not exercise your dogs in the heat of the day
2) Never leave dogs in cars (or sheds), as temperatures rise within minutes in enclosed environments, even if the windows are left partially open
3) Always make sure they have plenty of fresh water and shade and keep dogs at increased risk inside; in air-conditioning if possible.
4) If heat stroke is suspected immediately start cooling your dog with cold running water for five minutes and then seek immediate veterinary attention
5) If your dog has had heatstroke in the past be extra vigilant, they are at greater risk of it occurring again.
6) Keep dogs with stridor (noisy breathing) in air conditioning and have them checked by your vet (in many situations surgery can help them to breath more normally and decrease their risk factors for heat stroke).

If you have caged animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs or ferrets, remember cages prevent them burrowing underground or seeking a cooler area on hot days, so you will need to take care that their cage is moved to a cool location.

Finally please leave water bowls out for birds and wildlife as their ability to remain well hydrated is important for wildlife surviving hot weather days. Sadly, climate change has significantly decreased rainfall in our environment over the past few decades which affects wildlife who can't turn on the tap to take a drink when they need it.

Let us introduce Poppy! She doesn’t look very pleased to be here, but she should be!

Poppy was the first cat we treated with I-131 for hyperthyroidism at WAVES! Six weeks post treatment her total T4 has gone from 164 to 13 nmol/L (normal 9- 46 nmol/L) and her kidney parameters are normal! 👏👏👏 Well done Poppy! We will see Poppy in another 2 months to continue to monitor her, as it can sometimes take 3-6 months for I-131 to take full effect.

If you have a cat with hyperthyroidism or a patient with hyperthyroidism please contact the medicine department at WAVES for more information.

🥰 MOTHERS DAY🥰 Remember NO lilies for cat owners💐

Cats are at high risk of developing kidney failure from ingestion of petals, leaves or pollen from lilies. So if mum is a cat lover pick another type of flower. If cats are suspected to have ingested even a small amount of the Lilium (lilies) family of plants, please immediately contact a veterinarian. Treatment is always recommended to prevent kidney failure.

15/12/2021

PLEASE, WE ARE BEGGING YOU. Give the gift of vaccination to the fur child you love or consider giving this gift to a dog whose family may not be able to afford to vaccinate their dog.

PLEASE DONT MAKE US HAVE TO EUTHANASE ANOTHER PUPPY, or 1 year old or 3 year old or 10 year old dog for parvovirus which is a vaccine-preventable disease!

Check your dog’s vaccination certificate to make sure their protection is up to date, and if you have any doubt about whether your dog is fully vaccinated, speak to your regular vets about giving your dog the gift of vaccination. If you obtained your dog from someone else and you don’t have a vaccination certificate from a veterinary hospital that tells you when the next vaccine is due, then please assume they may not be fully protected and give them a life-saving vaccine as an early Christmas present.

Despite the easy access to vaccinations, which effectively make >99.9% of dogs immune to parvovirus we are again seeing patients with this terrible disease. Many puppies around Perth end up being euthanased when they catch this disease, if their family cannot afford the significant costs of treating parvovirus. Young puppies who haven’t completed their vaccination course are at greatest risk but occasionally adult dogs are also affected. Vaccination is significantly cheaper than the cost of treatment and it is also cheaper than an after hours emergency consult fee or euthanasia.

Without any treatment up to 91% of dogs can die from parvovirus, particularly puppies. Intensive care can raise the prognosis for survival from 60% with basic hospital care to >90% with intensive round the clock care, however the cost of this level of care is extremely expensive when compared to the cost of vaccination.

Even if your dog never leaves your property, this long-lived virus can be brought into your home environment on your shoes or car tires, so even dogs who never leave your home are still at risk if they are not vaccinated!

Canine parvovirus attacks the lining of the gut and also the bone marrow (which produces white blood cells). The clinical signs can vary, however, they generally include vomiting and diarrhoea. The diarrhoea may have a distinct foul smell (of dying gut), and may contain a lot of mucus - blood may or may not be present in the diarrhoea but parvovirus is always considered a possible cause of bloody diarrhoea in dogs. Generally, infected dogs lose their appetite and are very depressed. Younger dogs tend to be most severely affected, however dogs of any age can contract parvovirus and die from it, the oldest dog we have had with parvovirus was 10 years of age! In survivors parvovirus can be persistently shed for 5-21 days after infection which means that patients who have recovered from parvovirus should not be walked in public for several weeks to minimise spread of this virus.

Parvovirus is an easily preventable disease that is once again becoming more common in some areas of the community, particularly low socioeconomic areas. If you are unsure or concerned about your pets vaccination status, please contact your local veterinarian to discuss this. All veterinarians would love to see parvovirus eradicated but being realists we hope to never have to treat your dog for parvovirus or worse still have to euthanase them because you can’t afford to treatment.

If every dog owner vaccinated their dogs then herd health would be high enough to protect the rare dogs who can’t be vaccinated because of medical conditions, the extremely rare dogs (1:1,000) who fail to get immunity from vaccination and the gorgeous little puppies who are too young to be fully protected by vaccination.

We also rarely see dogs who have completed their entire puppy course of vaccines but didn’t develop immunity. This is normally due to their mothers having high antibody levels which they gave to their pups. The mothers antibodies then interfere with the pups developing immunity from the vaccine. However the antibodies they receive from their mother will only last for a few months. In very high-risk areas another vaccination or a blood test at 6 months to check their antibody levels may be recommended to confirm that they have obtained full immunity.

Please help get this message out. We declare no conflicts of interest in this post. WAVES does not vaccinate dogs (being a referral hospital most of our patients are too sick or injured to be vaccinated while being treated by us). Therefore we recommend that you speak to your local veterinarians, all of whom do vaccinate, about vaccination frequency, costs etc. We cannot provide for you the exact cost of vaccination, but we can reassure you that the cost of a vaccine is less than cost of euthanasia to relieve suffering from parvovirus and is a tiny % of the cost of treating parvovirus. If every dog in Perth was vaccinated then the isolation ward at WAVES would remain empty and we would obtain no income from treating parvovirus cases. This would make our vets and nurses ecstatic as there is nothing that makes us feel sorrier for our patients than seeing them extremely ill from parvovirus.
