Did you know that toxicity can occur in dogs that ingest manure from recently dewormed livestock?!?

Some dogs also have drug sensitivities. Ivermectin is a common dewormer that some dogs have drug sensitivity to. Toxicity symptoms can be delayed up to 24 hours after exposure. It effects their central nervous system, along with neurological symptoms.

Watch for: lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, excessive salivation, muscle twitches, trouble breathing, uncoordinated movement, unusual vocalization, dilated pupils, tremors, seizures, coma.

Do not delay veterinarian care if you suspect deworming toxicity! You can also have deworming toxicity if you calculate your own dogs dewormer dose wrong!

Did you know we cover this in our Canine Emergency First Aid class❗️

Thanks to head office Canine Health Canada for another great post.

Happy World Spay Day 🌍

Spaying your pet has several benefits, one being population control. We have all seen the pleas and call outs for adoptions and fosters. Having pets spayed helps reduce these numbers by preventing accidental and unwanted litters.

Make sure you speak to your vet about the appropriate age to have your pet spayed. There are many factors to consider!

Here in Edmonton we are experience spring weather BUT that does not mean that winter is over. We will be getting winter temperatures very soon. It is IMPORTANT to know the signs of cold intolerance in your dog!

We have been getting a lot of questions on when and what temperature is considered too cold for your dog.

Well the their is No straight answer for this question. As every breed can tolerate different temperatures differently, every dog is different (even the same breed dogs). Where they grew up, a dog that was raised from California and the same breed that was raised in Alaska or any other colder geographical location will handle the same temperature differently. The age and health of the dogs have a big impact as well, puppies and senior dogs body can't regulate their own body temperature as well as a mature healthy dog. The same goes for a dog that has a disease or injured. Or an indoor dog will get colder faster than a dog that works/live outside. The time of day, night time will be colder than the day time, a sunny day compared to a cloudy windy day.

Here are some signs that your dog is cold. YES even in -10C or -5C!
Whining or anxious sounds.
Lifting their paws off the surface.
Shivering.
Reluctant to move.
Tail down or tucked between the legs. Or for dogs that have a short tail, their bums will be clenched inwards.
Paw pads and coat contain snow and/or ice.
Asking to go back inside.
It ultimately comes down to, YOU know your dog the best! Listen and watch their behaviors. If they look cold, they are! When in doubt it is safer to bring them inside and go outside again at a later time.
