[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.

In this Horrendous HEAT 🐾🥵🐾 Dogs feet will burn/blister in a Heartbeat! Dogs can Not Cool themselves down … they primarily only sweat from their Paws! That’s why they Pant! IF anytime Outside … They MUST Have Adequate Shade and WATER! Our personal dogs and Guest Dogs are out for a potty and back inside the air conditioning… Out and IN! Time to Potty Only! Yes, Multiple times a day … but NEVER for any length of time! And REMEMBER … It takes MORE Energy for a dog to Swim than it does to walk. IF you’re swimming them it’s In and Out! SAFETY FIRST!!!

Dog Owner’s WARNING ‼️ Water Intoxication is Terrifying and it Happens!!! I too was STUNNED a few years ago when I first heard of this!!

Now that it’s warm and it’s pool season I want to remind everyone to be careful of their dogs as they swim that they don’t ingest too much water. Unfortunately I’ve known dogs that have died of water intoxication. Unfortunately also many vets have never encountered it and don’t realize electrolyte imbalance and how to treat it correctly. We need to stay educated and watch out for our friends and friends dogs, and hopefully educate the vets that have never experienced it before. A little video of two of my border pap pups swimming with my Papillon, all my dogs love love water.

Water intoxication in dogs is real and deadly. Unfortunately, a beloved and active dog fell victim to this unexpected illness.
