Fear of fireworks is not uncommon in dogs, but why are many dogs so scared of fireworks?⁣
⁣
🐕 Dogs have great hearing so the loud bangs of fireworks can be overwhelming. They can also hear fireworks far in the distance that we might not notice. ⁣
🐕 Fireworks are sudden which startles them and can cause an increase in heart rate, rush of adrenaline and increase the stress hormones in the body.⁣
🐕 They don't understand the source of the noise, which can make them feel threatened.⁣

Top Tip 🎆

More dogs go missing during fireworks season than any other time of year. It is a legal requirement for dogs to be microchipped and wearing a collar and ID tag when out in public, which must include their owner's name and address and Eircode. So make sure this is up to date and that your dog is securely tucked up at home.

Is your pet worried about fireworks? 🐶

Fireworks season is a time of celebration for us, but for our furry friends, it can be downright terrifying.

Why Are Dogs Scared of Fireworks?

🐕 Dogs have heightened senses, and the sudden, loud noises of fireworks can be overwhelming.
🐕 They don't understand the source of the noise, which can make them feel threatened.
🐕 The anxiety can lead to destructive behaviors, running away, or even health issues.

Today’s issue is: Irritation
Eyes are extremely sensitive and easily irritated – did you know that the cornea has around 20-40 times more nerve endings than the tooth root! And most of us know how painful tooth ache is…

If you believe that your pet is suffering from eye irritation you should contact your vet for advice.

Symptoms that may suggest that your pet is suffering from eye irritation:
• Pawing/rubbing at their eye/s
• Redness
• Squinting or excessive blinking
• Excessive tear staining
• Sticky or runny discharge
• Light sensitivity
• Swollen skin around the eyes
• Dullness or cloudiness of the eye
• Different pupil sizes

Some common reasons which may cause eye irritation in your pet:
• Allergies
• Conjunctivitis
• Foreign object in the eye
• Eyelid Abnormalities
• Trauma
• Corneal scratches/ulcers
• Irritants – smoke, shampoo etc
• Dry eye (poor tear film)

Eye problems can be very painful and go from bad to worse very quickly so don’t delay in seeking advice and treatment from your vet!

20/09/2023

Today’s issue is: Runny or Sticky Eyes. Eye discharge is a common problem in pets. Some types are completely normal, while others may be associated with potentially serious health concerns. The various types of eye discharge and what each may mean.

*5 most common types of eye discharge:*
• A little ‘gunk’ or crustiness – generally made out of dried tears, oil, mucus, dead cells, dust etc. Typically, clear or a slightly reddish-brown colour that accumulates at the inside corners of the eyes. Most evident in the morning and is perfectly normal, with the amount produced each day being relatively constant. It should be easily removed with a damp cloth or eye cleansing solution made for pets.
• Watery Eyes – Excessive eye watering (AKA epiphora) is associated with many conditions ranging from being relatively minor to more serious. Below are some of the common causes of watery eyes in pets:
o Allergies
o Irritants
o Foreign body in the eye
o Anatomical abnormalities (e.g. rolled in eyelids)
o Blocked tear ducts
o Corneal wounds
o Glaucoma (increased eye pressure)
• Reddish-Brown Tear Stains – many pets, especially those with light coloured fur, develop a reddish-brown discolouration to the fur near the inner corner of their eyes. This occurs because tears contain a pigment called porphyrin that turns reddish-brown with prolonged exposure to air. It is advisable to get tear stains checked by a vet.
• White-Grey Mucus – Can be a sign of Dry Eye (AKA keratoconjunctivitis sicca), a condition where the tear film becomes inadequate. A normal tear film is vital for good eye health so the body tries to compensate by making more mucus to try and lubricate the eyes.
• Yellow or Green Eye Discharge – pets whose eyes produce yellow or green discharge often have conjunctivitis or an eye infection.

19/09/2023

Today’s issue is: Redness of the eyes
Your pet’s eyes are as sensitive as your own, and are just as susceptible to irritation, allergies, injury, and disease. One of the earliest signs of many eye problems is a red eye. If your pet’s eyes appear visibly red or swollen contact your vet ASAP, as some causes of a red eye are really painful and could lead to permanent blindness if left untreated (such as glaucoma).
Common causes of redness:
• Conjunctivitis
• Allergies or irritants
• Foreign object in the eye
• Dry Eye
• Injury
• Uveitis (inflammation inside the eye)
• Corneal Ulcers
• Glaucoma
• Cherry Eye

Tips when feeding Precision Microbes during antibiotics

- Encourage eating: Antibiotics can cause lethargy, nausea and/or a loss of appetite, which may make your pet less interested in eating their food. It is crucial that your pet continues to eat.
- Finish your pet’s entire course of antibiotic treatment. It may be tempting to stop your pet’s course of antibiotics once their symptoms have gone away. However, it’s important that you finish their entire treatment to protect your pet and pets at large.
- After antibiotic treatment: Antibiotics can significantly affect the populations of beneficial bacteria in your pet’s gut. Continue using Precision Microbes to support gut health and a healthy gut microbiome.

Ask your local vet about Precision Microbes.
