EASTER LILIES - A TOP EASTER TOXIN 🐱

Easter lilies and other types of lilies can cause severe kidney injury in cats. All parts of the plant—leaves, pollen, and even the water it’s stored in—can be life-threatening. Even a small amount of exposure can lead to acute kidney injury.

If caught early, there are steps we can take to prevent serious harm, but if treatment begins more than 18 hours after exposure, the damage may be irreversible. Any cat exposed to a lily should be treated with IV fluids to prevent kidney damage, and we’ll carefully monitor their renal values, electrolytes, and watch for potential pancreatitis.

If you suspect your cat has been exposed to a lily, don't wait—bring them in immediately for emergency care!

Spring is here! 🌸With all the rainfall and flooding the risk of Leptospirosis increases!🌧️🦠

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can affect both dogs and humans, caused by the Leptospira bacteria. It thrives in warm, wet environments like damp grass, standing water, and mud. Dogs can be infected through contact with infected animals' urine, contaminated water, food, or bedding. Common carriers include raccoons, rats, skunks, and even cows and pigs.

🔍 Signs in Dogs:

-Loss of appetite
-Vomiting, diarrhea
-Changes in urination
-Lethargy

If untreated, leptospirosis can lead to kidney and/or liver failure, and up to 15% of infected dogs may not survive.

🛡️ Prevention: Vaccination is the best way to protect your dog from leptospirosis! Talk to your family veterinarian about the appropriate vaccine for your dog to reduce the risk.

💡 If You Suspect Leptospirosis: Contact a veterinarian immediately for diagnosis and treatment.

What Happens at the Emergency Veterinarian When Your Pet is Exposed to a Toxin?

If your pet has been exposed to something toxic and you're heading to an emergency veterinary clinic, it's important to stay prepared and calm. Here’s what you can expect:

Before You Go:
Bring any packaging or details about the product your pet was exposed to. The more information you can provide, the better the veterinarian can treat your pet.

Upon Arrival:
Your pet may be quickly whisked away for initial assessment, stabilization, and vital checks. Don’t worry—it’s part of the process. Depending on the toxin and how much time has passed, the vet may ask to induce vomiting to help decontaminate your pet.

*You should not try to induce vomiting at home without first consulting a veterinarian.*

The Wait:
After stabilization, there may be a wait while other pets are assessed. During this time, you may be asked to call the Animal Poison Control Center for expert advice. This ensures your pet gets the most up-to-date and appropriate treatment advice.

The Estimate:
The veterinarian will discuss your pet's clinical signs, treatment options, and provide a cost estimate for treatment recommendations. If the toxin your pet ingested or was exposed to could lead to significant clinical signs, they may need to be hospitalized for further care. This is the perfect time to ask any questions to ensure you’re fully informed.

Going Home:
Before leaving, make sure you understand any ongoing treatment recommendations for your pet at home and clinical signs to watch for. In some cases, follow-up visits with your family veterinarian may be required.

If you think your pet has ingested a toxin call your veterinarian or emergency veterinarian immediately.

🚨 Urinary Blockage in Cats – A Life-Threatening Emergency 🚨

A urinary blockage occurs when something blocks the urethra, preventing your cat from passing urine, which can quickly become life-threatening. Male cats are more prone due to their narrow urethra, but any cat can be affected.

Signs to watch for:
-Straining to urinate, with little or no urine output
-Crying or howling near the litter box
-Vomiting, lethargy, or refusing to eat
-Licking at the ge****ls or base of the tail
-Hiding or resenting touch, especially around the abdomen

If your cat shows any of these signs, it is important to have them assessed by a veterinarian immediately. Without treatment, urinary blockages can quickly lead to kidney failure and be life threatening.

🐾 Porcupine Quills and Your Dog: What You Need to Know 🐾

Porcupines may be slow-moving and non-aggressive, but their quills are a real danger to curious dogs! These sharp, barbed quills can easily puncture your dog’s skin, causing painful injury and leading to serious complications if not treated quickly. Here's what you should know:

❗ Don't Try to Remove Them Yourself!
Porcupine quills move deeper into the skin once embedded and can cause infections, abscesses and other issues. Attempting to remove them without proper care can push them in further, increasing the risk of complications. It’s crucial to get your dog to the vet for sedation and proper removal.

🔬 Serious Risks
If left untreated, quills can migrate to joints, eyes, or even organs, causing life-threatening issues. Even a mouthful of quills can be dangerous.

⏰ Time is of the Essence
Get to the vet ASAP! Keep your dog calm and avoid rubbing their face, which could push the quills deeper.

⚠️ Prevention is Key
Most dogs don’t learn from past encounters with porcupines, so it’s best to keep them away from areas where porcupines live, especially during dusk or night.

If your dog has a run-in with a porcupine, don’t wait—call us immediately! We’re here to help. 🐾❤️
