[NOTE: This photo is just picture of a pond in the summer. NOT a picture of a pond with the toxin.] Cyanobacteria can have many different looks, including not being visible at all. Link to Kentucky Division of Water for more photos and information: https://eec.ky.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water/Monitor/Pages/HABS.aspx #:~:text=Harmful%20Algal%20Blooms%20Division%20of%20Water&text=A%20harmful%20algal%20bloom%2C%20or,skin%20in%20animals%20or%20humans.
"Death follows minutes to hours after exposure to a small amount of this toxin." As the weather gets hotter, ponds can start to have "algae blooms." The water itself can look like pea soup, or like green paint is spread on the surface of the water. Sometimes it is not visible at all. Some of these blooms are cyanobacteria, which can produce potent toxins. Dogs are exposed when they wade in the water and either drink the water directly, or lick it off themselves when they come out. There is no antidote; treatment is supportive and many dogs don't survive. If you believe your dog has been exposed, bathe him immediately. If he has any symptoms, bring him right in to a veterinarian. See comments for more information about signs and treatment. (Most ponds that look like this are not dangerous, but it is not possible to tell which ones are toxic and which ones aren't except by having the water tested; If in doubt, keep pets out.) Edited to add links to more pond phots.

IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING CARE CREDIT: I know that a lot of people use and recommend Care Credit for veterinary bills. I know that it is often literally a life saver and often the only option. I use it myself. So, I want to share with you all the recent increase in their interest rate. I know it’s not easy, but I STRONGLY suggest that all pet owners either have a credit card just for such emergencies or try to have some emergency funds set aside, because you never know when you may need it. If you do use Care Credit, do everything in your power to pay it off in full before the interest free period is over. I just don’t think people realize how high the interest rate has become.

As of May 30, 2024, the annual percentage rate (APR) for new CareCredit accounts is 32.99%, with a minimum interest charge of $2. However, CareCredit also offers short-term financing options with no interest for 6, 12, 18, or 24 months on purchases of $200 or more. If the balance isn't paid in full by the end of the promotional period, interest will be charged on the entire original amount borrowed, not just the remaining balance. CareCredit may also apply a penalty APR of 39.99% if the total minimum payment isn't received by the due date two or more times during a 12-month billing cycle.

As most of you know, we have a tornado warning for Eaton, Ingham and Clinton Counties. We have a lot of dogs here at Nana-n-Paws, and I want to assure all of our pet parents that we are following our tornado safety protocol right now. All dogs are secured inside encloses with tops on them in the center of the building away from exterior walls. We will protect them like we do our own.
