Agree. If your pet gets overheated DO NOT COOL WITH COLD HOSE. Wet cool towels around the neck and in the groin area and fans are recommended.

Here's how to help cool your dog down on a hot day (like today).

Felv/FIV positive stray east end: If you are letting your cat roam in the east end your kitty is at risk for this. It is not our first FIV positive in this area. There is NO VACCINE TO PREVENT FIV. It is a fatal disease that we do not have any good treatments for although we can often keep them going for some time with good care (frequent dental cleanings, antibiotics for infection and supportive care). So please make sure your pets are spayed and neutered and don't let them roam as this doesn't need to be an issue!! The Felv vaccine is very good at protecting kitties so need should be discussed with your vet. If not going outside it is not routinely done but if you have ground level screen doors or are getting new cats or your cat likes to escape it might be worthwhile. If your pet is in the area and has been going out best to have them tested even if they don't seem sick. These are what we call the kitties AIDS viruses as they work the same - they suppress the immune system and then pet often succumbs to infections or cancers. Cats with Felv can often often live a fairly long life. Cats with FIV usually don't live that long (often pass within months of diagnosis if sick although we have had exceptions).

Recent case has me thinking about how hard it is to keep our fur babies safe. Especially younger dogs that really explore the world with their mouth. Add to all the other things you do to keep them safe.... checking the ground and under tables if you sit with dog on patio for things like food that might have spilled and could cause pancreatitis, cigarette buts if a smoking allowed patio, gum that might be sweetened with xylitol and even gummies or other drug edibles. If you are a person who does imbibe in drugs or even medication that could be toxic to pets please be careful that they are tucked away and unable to spill and that pets in home just can't get access. Thanks and stay safe all..

Possible Rabid Cat Shilo area: We have heard there is a stray cat showing symptoms of Rabies in the Shilo area. If you see a cat (or dog/skunk/racoon/fox etc) acting strangely or seeming ill do not approach or handle and call animal control or an animal protection officer. If you think you may have touched or handled a cat with Rabies symptoms see your doctor immediately especially if you were bit or scratched or had any open wounds on hands. If you have cats/dogs roaming outside that are not up to date on their Rabies vaccine please make an appointment with your regular vet asap and get them updated. If your cat is not vaccinated and goes outside and starts acting off (aggressive, having tremor seizures, unable to walk or walking with staggering gait etc) please take to regular vet or emergency clinic and let them know the situation i.e. that there is concern about a rabid cat in the area.
While there have been at least 2 exceptions world wide Rabies is generally fatal in people if they do not receive the post exposure medication very promptly. Please please please do not take any chances if there is any exposure.
The number to call based on the RM facebook post are as follows:
Animal Control: (204) 922-1994
Military Police: (204) 765-3337
Emergency - Constable Drader (204) 724-7999

So was cleaning and had the cushions all piled up on couch. Bones thinks 5 cushions is just the right number lol. Well 6 I guess if you count the couch cushion. Can't put the house back together until the cat moves :)

Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend with your pets!!

A dog in Winnipeg (originally from Nunavut) has died from Rabies. The poor thing had full blown symptoms and sadly testing came back positive and a few people had to have post exposure treatment. It is thought that the dog was in contact with a fox. So reminder that Rabies is very easily prevented with vaccines. Once over 2 yrs old they only need a vaccine every 3 yrs to protect them. Rabies in human is fatal unless a person gets post exposure treatment very quickly. One person with symptoms has been saved after being put in an induced coma. I am unsure if that person made a full or partial recovery. As far as I know this is the only time a person has survived. So this is not a virus to mess with. Please, please vaccinate and prevent this heartbreak from happening to a pet or the pet's family.
