FIRST AID FRIDAY!

Water intoxication in dogs is fortunately rare but it does occur. If left untreated or recognized too late, it can be fatal.

It is most commonly reported in dogs that love to be and play in the water. Interestingly, it can also occur in athletes who consume excessive amounts of water or sport drinks and is termed exercise-associated hyponatremia. Hyponatremia means a decrease in the sodium content in the blood.

Most recently, a fatal case was reported in Alberni Valley news - a border collie playing in a wading pool rapidly developed signs of water toxicity. These signs came on rapidly and progressed from agitation, vomiting to coma.

These cases typically occur with dogs who have an affinity for water (playing in lakes, wading pools, retrieving objects in the water or drinking from a hose).

Although not all cases are fatal, by the time more severe signs are recognized (coma), only prompt diagnosis and treatment can help.

There are multiple factors and the cause is not completely understood but, in some individuals this excessive water intake dilutes blood electrolytes which can lead to brain swelling and coma.

Prevention is KEY:
An excellent article published by the American Kennel Club summarizes the key points:

Because water intoxication is irreversible in advanced cases, prevention is key. Take note of your dog’s swimming style. If he tends to splash, hold his head low in the water and his mouth open — even slightly — he is at greater risk for water intoxication. Don’t allow your dog to swim or retrieve in water unchecked and take frequent rest breaks. In between swimming sessions, give your dog plenty of opportunities to relieve himself, which helps remove excess fluid.
If your dog is a fetcher, avoid tennis balls and round-shaped toss toys, opting instead for a flatter object, which allows him to better close his mouth around it. Don’t allow him to dive for objects and ditto for biting at the high-pressure stream from a hose.

Now, armed with a little bit of knowledge, you can keep your dog safe while he makes a splash

On this very warm day and with more hot days coming, a sad and tragic reminder...................

It Didn’t Need to Happen
by Pam McClintock

It didn’t need to happen. The trip into the grocery store was only supposed to take a few short minutes. The day was bright and sunny with the outside temperature holding steady at 82 degrees. It was a perfect summer day with an azure blue cloudless sky and a light whispering breeze cooling the skin and whisking away the heat of the sun. Inches above the asphalt pavement of the parking lot, the temperature was many degrees higher as the black top absorbed and stored the sun’s rays. Shimmering heat waves rose in undulating curls and here and there the tar had softened. On a quiet residential street a young family was contemplating the need to purchase items at the store. A few necessities were required for the evening meal and as in most other circumstances the family pet, a handsome black Labrador retriever, was invited along and eagerly jumped into the car anxious to join in the trek to the local mall. Thinking the event would be brief and uneventful the dog was allowed his usual space on the back seat and with youngsters safely belted in, the vehicle was maneuvered into the street. This would be the final car trip for this strong and vibrant dog. This loving dog had been present when the babies were born and had endured the pinches and pulls of tiny fingers and offered support when the art of walking was perfected. Soon he would lose his life in a terrifying and painful way.
With the car properly parked, and the windows cracked a few inches, mother and children trudged through the automatic doors and the dog watched them disappear into the coolness and brightness. For a few brief minutes the air conditioned car interior remained comfortable but shortly the unrelenting sun began to heat the car and even the semi open windows did little to allow air flow. Soon the large dog was panting, droplets steadily rolling off his tongue and landing in a little pool on the leather seat. Breathing became faster and more laboured as this powerful dog struggled for air. As the temperature inside the car increased so did the temperature inside the dog’s body. He began to pace back and forth on the seat desperately trying to gulp breaths of cool air from the window slits. The degree and intensity of the panting increased and he became very agitated and apprehensive. He whined and barked, desperately hoping that his family would return to help him.
Inside the store the family raced up and down the aisles hurriedly finding the necessary items. In the last aisle, a chance meeting with friends and the usual amenities kept the family occupied for too long. The cool comfort of the store was in sharp contrast to the oven that was created inside the car in the parking lot. And inside that oven a dog was dying. His eyes were now glazed and his ribs heaved with the exertion of rapid and strenuous panting. His tongue was huge, swollen and lolling from his mouth like an uncontrolled serpent. The dog’s body temperature had risen from a normal of 101 degrees to a staggering 108 degrees. His brain was swelling and internal organs were beginning to shut down. In the next moment he collapsed to the floor and began a series of convulsions. Within minutes, he was dead.
Meanwhile, the family had said good bye to their neighbours and after a quick and orderly check out were happily on their way to the car. What awaited them there would traumatize the children for years and leave a young mother riddled with guilt. And it didn’t need to happen.

Col. Cyril Colwell, in his famous white cashmere suit and Stetson, walking a trio of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers -- whose red coat contrasted with this outfit surely would have been a sight to see! Since spotting his first "Little River Duck Dog" in 1923, Colwell devoted much of his life to propagation of the breed, its documentation, and its ultimate recognition by the Canadian Kennel Club. In 1936, Babe Ruth repeatedly visited their native Yarmouth County to go duck hunting, and it is believed his positive encounters with Tollers spread word of the breed to the United States. Colwell also made many 8mm movies featuring his dogs, particularly Rusty, who not only hunted with Ruth but sired some of the first CKC registered NSDTRs. He wrote, "What greater sportsmanship could be exemplified than to hang up our scattered guns and archery equipment, just take along a good tolling retriever, a lunch, tidbits for the dog, and an amateur motion picture camera... Then, on a cold winter's night, when the fireside is cozily dying down and a doubting hunter calls, show him on a silver beaded screen the kind of sportsman you are. The result will be more admirers of this amazing breed of dogs and next season we will have more ducks, dogs, and cameras and fewer guns. What a happy solution towards the preservation of two of our national resources, our dogs and our wildlife."
