DAY 10 - Alcohol

Please keep all alcoholic beverages out of reach of your pet! Most pets require immediate veterinary care after ingesting or being exposed to alcohol, because some pets will not show immediate signs of poisoning. An alcohol toxicity diagnosis is based on a pet’s history of ingestion or contact with alcohol and clinical signs. Your veterinarian may induce your pet to vomit if the ingestion has occurred recently, but you should never induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a veterinarian. Alcohol can lead to dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities, liver and kidney problems, and low blood sugar. Your veterinarian may recommend blood work to monitor your pet’s overall organ health. Poisoned pets likely will require an extended hospital stay for emergency care, treatment, and continued observation which may include:

• Heart rate and blood pressure monitoring
• Body temperature monitoring and regulation
• Oxygen therapy
• Intravenous (IV) fluids to prevent dehydration and
electrolyte imbalances
• IV dextrose for low blood sugar
• Liver-protecting medications
• Anti-nausea medication
• Gastroprotectant medication
• Anti-seizure medication

DAY 7 - Garlic, Onions, Leeks And/Or Chives

Besides making your dinner taste great, onions, garlic, leeks and chives can cause serious medical problems for your dog. Clinical signs of illness, such as vomiting, can occur soon after your dog eats any of these, but the full onset of signs may take several days to appear.

In most cases, consumption causes gastroenteritis or inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Irritation of the mouth, drooling, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur.

Severe signs occur when the ingestion of Allium spp. causes damage to red blood cell membranes. A low red blood cell count (anemia) can cause an increased heart rate, elevated respiratory rate and effort, weakness, discolored urine, kidney damage, collapse, and even death.

If you suspect your pet may have ingested one of these Alliums, please contact the Per Poison Helpline. They will be able to instruct you if you need to seek treatment for your pet!

DAY 3 - Chocolate

Vomiting

Increased thirst
Fast breathing
Increased heart rate
Seizures

Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)

In severe cases, chocolate poisoning can lead to heart failure, coma, and death. The severity of symptoms depends on the type and amount of chocolate ingested. Darker and more bitter chocolates are more dangerous.

🚨🚨 Public Safety Announcement 🚨🚨

**Attention Pet Owners: Beware of Phone Scam.**

We want to inform everyone about a disturbing new scam recently reported in our area. Scammers are targeting pet owners by calling numbers listed on missing pet posts and flyers. These individuals pose as representatives from urgent care or emergency veterinary facilities, claiming that your pet has been brought in and that they require an immediate deposit over the phone to begin medical care.

**Please be aware!**

Scammers Are Skilled - They are taking time to research details about both the pet and the owner, making their claims seem more believable.

Verify Before You Respond - If you receive such a call, do not provide any personal or financial information. Always hang up and call the facility directly using the number listed on their official website to verify the information.

**What You Can Do?**

• Share this information with fellow pet owners and encourage them to be cautious.

• Report suspicious calls to local authorities and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

• Educate yourself and others about the warning signs of scams.

Your awareness and caution can protect you and your pets from becoming victims of these deceptive individuals. Please stay informed and look out for one another.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
