Happy Father's Day to all of the Dad's out there!

06/15/2024

With this being Father's Day weekend, remember that bbq isn't really suitable for most of our furry friends! Bbq skewers and rich, fatty foods don't go so well with pet's tummies!

If you should happen to have an emergency, remember that we are here to help 24/7!

This little cutie broke his right front leg when he was about 3 weeks old! Our team reset his bones and gave him a little wrap bandage to help him heal. Because he was so young, no surgery for him- just realignment of the bones and rest!! The last image is today and things are healing nicely!! Great job mom and dad with keeping a kitten calm enough to heal!

Because what is cuter than kittens chasing a mop!!! These babies are being fostered by one of our team members until they go up for adoption through a local rescue. It is definitely kitten season so remember, adopt, don't shop!!

This most handsome fellow is King Arthur. He thought that it might be a super tasty treat to eat kitty litter (and maybe a few other morsels along the way). Unfortunately, this caused a massive impaction in his bowel which led to needing surgery to get things moving again! Thank you to our amazing ER team who treated King Arthur along the way!

Hunter was one of our blood-donating heroes today. One of our patients had a low red cell count and needed blood to help her post operatively. Hunter stepped up to help (and of course got some yummy treats as a thank you!!)

"Plants are popular this time of year 🌱🌿👩‍🌾 However, while you’re choosing plants for the yard or bringing plants indoors, make sure to avoid the following:

❌ Lilies, Sago Palm, Tulips, Azalea, Oleander, Castor Bean, Cyclamen, Kalanchoe, Yew, Amaryllis, Autumn Crocus, Chrysanthemum, English Ivy, Pothos and Schefflera

Instead, try pet-friendly plants! 🐕🐈

✔️ Bamboo, Basil, Catnip, Chamomile, Lavender, Marigolds, Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme, Violets, and Wheat Grass

Check out this full list of toxic and non-toxic plants from the ASPCA: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants

If you suspect your pet has consumed a toxic plant, immediately contact Pacific Care at 949-653-2846. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435

Our handy list contains plants that have been reported as having systemic effects on animals and/or intense effects on the gastrointestinal tract.

Spring cleaning is a priority in many households this time of year 🧹🌸 But be sure to keep all cleaners and chemicals out of paws reach! Almost all cleaning products (including natural ones) contain chemicals that could be harmful to pets. Read the label to ensure proper use and storage of your cleaning products. Here are some chemical ingredients to watch out for:

❌ Chlorine (Bleach): Pets breathe faster than we do, which means more toxins are absorbed into their system. Though it is naturally occurring, chlorine in high concentrations can be deadly to pets.

❌ Ammonia: Found commonly in oven cleaners, window cleaners, floor waxes, and fertilizers – often listed as ammonium hydroxide. Exposure may cause severe damage to eyes, skin, stomach, and even death.

❌ Glycol Ethers: These chemicals are known to cause various cancers in lab rats, as well as birth defects, delayed development, and other effects, such as anemia, eye and nose irritation, and weight loss. Commonly listed as 2-Methoxyethanol, 2-Ethoxyethanol, and 2-Butoxyethanol.

❌ Formaldehyde: Exposure usually comes from inhalation, though it can also be absorbed through skin. It doesn’t have to be listed on your cleaner ingredient list, other names for formaldehyde include: formalin, formic aldehyde, methanediol, methanol, methyl aldehyde, methylene glycol, and methylene oxide.

❌ Phthalates: Since hormones control so much more than just reproduction in your pet’s system (and yours), phthalates have been linked to indirect symptoms such as weight gain, cancers, and developmental delays. You’ve probably heard of the commonly-known phthalate, BPA, but there are many more.

If you suspect your pet has consumed a toxic cleaning product or chemical, immediately contact Pacific Care Pet Emergency + Specialty at 949-653-2846 right away. You can also connect with the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435
