It’s National Sunscreen Day!

While you're out soaking up the sun with your furry sidekick, remember: pets can get sunburned too, especially those with light skin or thin fur!

- Use pet-safe sunscreen (not your coconut-scented human one!)
- Protect ears, bellies, and noses—prime burn zones!
- Offer shady spots and fresh water on repeat

Are you not sure which sunscreen is safe for pets? Ask us! We’re always here to help keep your four-legged friends both happy and healthy.

How many cats can fit in the same carrier? 3, according to Gingerbread, Guimauve & Sweetpea! They were all visiting together and aren’t best buddies at home, but at the vet they become inseparable! 😂 Guimauve & Sweetpea were here for exams & vaccines, while senior Gingerbread has lost some weight so is getting her semi-annual exam & labwork. Dr Mark is checking her thyroid in the pictures, since hyperthyroidism is a common (but easily treatable) cause of weight loss in older cats. 🐾

Take a minute to review our TOP 3 Easter Pet Safety Tips:
1) Never buy or gift LILIES if a home has cats
2) Lock all CHOCOLATE away from dogs
3) Keep EASTER FLOSS & ribbon away from cats

Lilies: Any exposure to a lily plant is toxic to cats. It's not enough to put the flowers in another room or on a shelf out of reach, since cats don't even have to chew on the plant - just walking through a dusting of lily pollen or some water from the vase is toxic enough to cause fatal kidney failure once they lick their paws. *Immediate* veterinary attention is needed. Learn more at www.roncyvillagevetclinic.com/2019/03/22/lilies/

Chocolate: Don't leave Easter treats around the house or yard! Chocolate has compounds that are toxic to dogs (and cats, but they rarely steal chocolate). Darker chocolate (higher cacao) is more toxic. While a Great Dane that eats a few small milk chocolate Easter eggs might only suffer diarrhea and vomiting, if a small dog ate them (or if the Great Dane got into semi-sweet baking chocolate instead), the toxic effects could be much more dangerous, including seizures, heart problems, and even death. If your dog eats chocolate despite your best efforts, NEVER assume they ate a safe amount - grab the package/ingredient list and call us or the Pet Poison Helpline (855-764-7661) or a 24-hour emergency vet, so a doctor can calculate if your dog ate a toxic amount of cocoa for their weight and assess if they need immediate veterinary attention.

Easter floss/grass (tip: use the crinkled paper version instead): That colourful filler in Easter baskets can cinch a cat's intestines together, as can anything long and string-like (aka a "linear foreign object"). That's because it gets caught in the barbs on a cat's tongue when they investigate or play with it, and then they can't spit it out, forcing them to swallow the whole thing to get it out of their mouth. Contact a vet right away if you suspect your cat has swallowed any linear foreign object - and if you see one dangling from their bum, NEVER PULL (you could tear right through their intestines).

Please share, as not all parents owners are aware of these dangers - you might save a life!

It's why winter & spring ticks are the most dangerous, and one of the reasons we recommend year-round parasite protection for pets.

New research has shown that ticks infected with Lyme Disease are now surviving prolonged winter deep freezes that should have killed them. It means more ticks are surviving even the coldest winters, and the ones that do have the highest chance of carrying Lyme Disease. Don't let tonight's freezing temperatures lull you into a false sense of security.

If your pet isn't already protected against fleas, ticks, mites, heartworm & intestinal worms, learn more & request their prevention medication now at https://www.roncyvillagevetclinic.com/en-ca/forms/parasite-prevention-request-form and take advantage of our Spring Special: get 2 months FREE with full-year orders (12 doses for the price of 10)...plus online rebates!

Don't hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about parasites and your pet!

⚠️Pretty but poisonous...let’s talk about Siberian squill, aka the sea of little blue flowers popping up all over our neighbourhood this week. It's an invasive plant that's spreading rapidly across Toronto, and is toxic to dogs & cats.

Siberian squill contains cardiac glycosides, which can cause irregular heart rhythms and wreak havoc on pets' digestive systems. (Foxglove & Lily of the Valley contain the same toxin). All parts of the plant are dangerous but the bulbs contain the highest levels of toxins.

Symptoms can include:
- Drooling: Due to oral irritation or nausea
- Vomiting: A common early symptom as the body attempts to purge the toxin
- Diarrhea: Can be mild to severe, sometimes bloody
- Loss of appetite: Due to nausea & discomfort
- Abdominal pain or cramping: May appear as restlessness, stretching, or whining in dogs; and hiding or hunching in cats
- Lethargy & acting generally “off”

If you think your pet may have eaten it, don’t wait - call us or an emergency clinic immediately. Treatment may include inducing vomiting if it was consumed recently, giving activated charcoal to bind the remaining toxins in the digestive tract, IV fluids to flush your pet's system and correct dehydration from vomiting & diarrhea, and monitoring their heart.

If you find Siberian squill in your yard, we recommend carefully digging it up (bulbs too!) and disposing of it in a sealed plastic bag in the garbage (not yard waste or green bin) - and don't mow or compost it or it will spread even more.

Keep an eye out for other toxic spring blooms too: tulips, daffodils, crocuses & hyacinths will all be out soon. A good rule: paws and mouths off any plant you don't know is safe!

Questions? Call us anytime, we're here to help keep your pets safe!

☀Now this feels like spring - ticks' favourite time of year! Get TWO DOSES FREE when you order a full year (12 months) of parasite prevention medication for your pet ... plus online rebates on orders of 6-12 doses! High Park & waterfront parks are local tick hotspots, but even backyard grasses and shrubs are tick habitat, so make sure that your dogs (and your cats, if they go outdoors at all) are protected. Ticks are very hard to spot before they bite and become engorged with blood - you can see in the picture how small they are compared to the tip of your finger!

Parasite protection medication protects against fleas & kills intestinal worms too, which are a risk all winter long. If your dog or cat isn't already on year-round parasite protection, it's time to re-start their monthly medication now!

You can order online or learn more about the diseases and health risks caused by parasites here: https://roncyvillagevetclinic.com/forms/fthmeds/ OR if your pet is due for their annual exam (or tick & heartworm disease testing for dogs), give us a call at 416-538-8387 and we can take care of everything in one visit!

Enjoy the sun!
