A little information about Frost Bite.

08/12/2022

Did you know....
Snow globes contain Antifreeze. This is highly toxic for our beloved dogs and just a very small quantity can lead to fatal kidney failure. Unfortunately dogs and cats love the taste of antifreeze as it is very sweet and they will lap up as much as they can, though after 2012 a bitter taste should have been added it hasn't really deterred our pets. If you suspect that your dog (or cat) have ingested antifreeze this is an immediate emergency vet visit. Unfortunately 2 dogs recently passed away even with rapid vet treatment after they ruled a snow globe from a shelf and it shattered and they licked up the liquid.

It’s always so important to me as a dog professional that I continue my own learning and ensure that I invest in staying up to date with the latest legislation. This means I can also bring more information to you. Loved today’s session with Doglaw Ltd: Doglaw SOS

A worrying trend on social media is to use lemon juice if you suspect heatstroke. Please don’t 🥵

Welcome to this week’s Let’s Talk where we will chat about Heat Stroke. Very appropriate given the weather this week.
Other things to consider:
If you do walk your dog as temperatures rise but are still ok, ensure you are not throwing a ball for retrieval and keep your dog on a lead to manage a steady walk rather than the zoomies

welcome to this week's Let's Talk where we are discussing Counter Conditioning techniques

12/05/2022

I have mentioned this recently at my Dog First Aid courses. There are many posts being circulated on social media that are inaccurate and causing unnecessary concern.

RAPESEED
At this time of year, there are posts circulating social media regarding rapeseed, which are shared extensively and understandably worry many dog owners. The posts state that rapeseed is extremely poisonous for dogs, and can cause signs including haemolytic anaemia, blindness, damaged nervous system, digestive disorders and breathing problems.
These posts are misinformation. The signs mentioned are only seen in grazing animals, and most dogs remain asymptomatic after exposure to rapeseed. Dogs can develop gastrointestinal upset if they have ingested some of the plant, and there have been reports of skin reactions which resemble burns, but this is extremely rare and does not happen to every dog which comes into contact with it.
We have contacted some of the organisation's posting this content, so they will hopefully be amended soon.

A fracture is a general medical term used for a broken bone but there can be many types and severity of fracture and knowing how to best help your dog can have a significant impact on their recovery.
