🚨 Winter Warning: Antifreeze Poisoning in Pets 🚨

Antifreeze is highly toxic to dogs and cats, even in small amounts, and can lead to fatal kidney failure. Unfortunately, pets are often drawn to its sweet taste, and may drink it if they get the chance.

Signs of poisoning include:
-Early symptoms: lethargy, vomiting, excessive thirst, and urination.
-Kidney failure signs: depression, vomiting, and reduced urination (often a few days later).

Prevention tips:
-Store antifreeze securely, and dispose of used antifreeze properly.
-Check driveways and garages for spills, and consider using pet-safe alternatives.

If you suspect your pet has been exposed, contact your vet or an emergency veterinary clinic immediately.

🎄 Holiday Pet Safety Tip: Protect Your Pets from Battery Ingestion! 🔋🐾

The holidays bring lots of fun, but they also bring risks for our furry friends! Did you know that batteries—especially the small "button" types—are a common cause of pet emergencies? Dogs and cats love chewing on batteries, and ingesting one can lead to serious injuries like oral burns, digestive obstructions, and even life-threatening esophageal and intestinal perforations.

🛑 How to keep your pet safe:
-Keep remote controls and battery-powered toys out of reach.
-Hang stockings high, away from curious paws.
-Teach kids to put away toys and battery-powered gadgets when done playing.
-Securely store spare batteries in a drawer or toolbox (and change batteries over a sink or bowl).

If you suspect your pet has swallowed a battery, contact your vet or an emergency veterinary clinic immediately.

🚨 Xylitol Toxicity in Dogs 🚨

Did you know that xylitol, a common sugar substitute in hundreds of products (including some peanut butters!), is EXTREMELY toxic to dogs? It’s safe for humans but can cause life-threatening issues for dogs.

Xylitol causes a rapid insulin release, which can lead to dangerous drops in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in just 30 minutes! Signs to watch for include vomiting, weakness, and lack of coordination. If left untreated, it can lead to seizures, coma, and even death.

🎄 Holiday Warning: With the rise of sugar-free and low-carb baking, be extra careful about where you store your treats! Keep counters clear and make sure your dog can't reach anything that could contain xylitol (like gum, mints, or baked goods).

If you suspect your dog has ingested xylitol, contact your vet or an emergency veterinary clinic immediately—time is critical! 🕒

🍫🐾 Chocolate Poisoning in Dogs 🐾🍫

With the holidays here, be extra cautious about chocolate around your dogs! Chocolate can be toxic to dogs due to theobromine, a substance similar to caffeine.

Dogs are much more sensitive to it than we are, and even small amounts can cause serious illness. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, and more severe cases can lead to seizures or coma.

If your dog eats chocolate, contact your vet or an emergency veterinary clinic immediately—even if they seem fine. Early treatment can make all the difference!

Stay safe and keep the chocolate out of reach! 🐕

Holiday Safety Warning 💡

The holiday season brings lots of fun, but it also brings some hidden dangers for our furry friends—especially when it comes to electric cords and holiday lights. 🌟

To a curious puppy or kitten, an exposed electrical cord may look like the perfect chew toy. But chewing on these cords can lead to electrical shocks that can cause burns on your pet’s mouth or tongue, and in severe cases, it can lead to pulmonary edema (fluid buildup in the lungs), which makes breathing difficult and can be fatal.

⚠️ Signs your pet may have been shocked:
- Abnormal behavior (acting disoriented or lethargic)
- Hiding or avoiding interaction
- Excessive drooling
- Refusal to eat or drink
- Evidence of a chewed electrical cord

If you suspect your pet has chewed on an electrical cord or suffered an electrical shock contact your vet or an emergency veterinary clinic immediately.

Holiday Reminder for Cat Owners 🐱🎄

The holidays are a magical time, but they also bring some hidden dangers for our curious feline friends. 🐾

A common veterinary emergency we see this time of year is cats playing with—and sometimes eating—ribbons and tinsel. While these sparkly decorations are beautiful, they can be very harmful if ingested.

Why it's dangerous:
Intestinal Blockage: If your cat eats ribbon or tinsel, it can cause a dangerous blockage in their intestines, which often requires surgery.
Choking Hazard: These decorations can also get stuck in your cat's throat, leading to choking.

❌🎁 Keep your cat safe by avoiding the use of tinsel, ribbon, or string around your tree or home, keeping all decorations out of reach of curious paws and by supervising your cat if they are around holiday decorations.

If you notice your cat has swallowed any ribbon, tinsel, or similar material, contact your vet or an emergency veterinary clinic immediately! 🏥 Prompt action can prevent serious complications and keep your feline friend safe through the holiday season.

Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is here for you if needed! Contact us at (519) 964-0949 or [email protected]. Visit our website at bluewatervec.ca

Stay safe, keep the decorations beautiful but out of paws' reach, and let’s keep our pets healthy and happy this holiday season! 🎄🐱💚
