Important reminders!

With the 4th of July a month away, be sure to reach out to your veterinarian soon if you think your pet may need help with anxiety or stress from fireworks. Here are some tips from Vet to help desensitize your dog to the sound of fireworks over the next few weeks.

Dr. Ellis is on vacation in Italy….of course she found sick kittens to help💖!

Important information….

As Easter approaches, here are some reminders about potential hazards for pets in common Easter decorations and foods.

Easter lilies are highly toxic to cats
All parts of the Easter lily plant are poisonous—the petals, the leaves, the stem and even the pollen. Cats that ingest as few as one or two leaves, or even a small amount of pollen while grooming their fur, can suffer severe kidney failure.

Many other varieties of the lily family, including tiger, day, rubrum, stargazer, and Japanese show are also toxic to cats and can cause kidney failure within 72 hours. These lilies are commonly found in florist bouquets, so it is imperative to check for poisonous flowers before bringing bouquets into the household.

In most situations, symptoms of poisoning will develop within six to 12 hours of exposure. Early signs include vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy and dehydration. Symptoms worsen as kidney failure develops. Some cats will experience disorientation, staggering and seizures.

There is no effective antidote to counteract lily poisoning, so the sooner you can get your cat to the veterinarian, the better the chances of survival will be. If you see your cat licking or eating any part of an Easter lily, call your veterinarian or a pet poison helpline immediately. If left untreated, the chances of survival are low.

Easter grass
Also potentially harmful is the fake plastic "grass" that often accompanies Easter baskets. When your cat or dog ingests something stringy like this "grass," it can become anchored around the base of the tongue or stomach, rendering it unable to pass through the intestines. It can result in a linear foreign body and cause severe damage to the intestinal tract, often requiring expensive abdominal surgery.

Chocolate
While the occasional chocolate chip in one cookie may not be an issue, certain types of chocolate are very toxic to dogs. In general, the darker and more bitter the chocolate, the greater the danger. Baker’s chocolate and dark chocolate pose the biggest problem. The chemical toxicity is due to methylxanthines (a relative of caffeine) and results in vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, an abnormal heart rhythm, seizures, and possibly death. Other sources include chewable chocolate flavored multi-vitamins, baked goods, or chocolate-covered espresso beans. If you suspect that your dog ate chocolate, call your veterinarian.

Plastic eggs
Dogs may find plastic Easter eggs remarkably similar to balls, but, if eaten, the sharp pieces of plastic can cause GI issues.

Pennies (and coins)
If you (or the Easter bunny) leaves coin-filled eggs for little ones to find, please be aware that pennies, in particular, can be toxic if ingested. Pennies minted after 1982 contain zinc, which can be harmful if consumed. If your dog, cat, or bird ingests coins, please contact your veterinarian.

🗞️ In exciting news, Punxsutawney Phil has predicted an early spring 🌧️☀️☀️ and with that comes grocery stores and markets full of beautiful spring 💐 flowers.

If you share your home with a cat, 🐈 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 you will want to make sure that your beautiful bouquets do NOT contain ANY types of LILY.

Please note: The entire lily plant is toxic: the stem, leaves, flowers, pollen, and even the water in a vase. Eating just a small nibble of a leaf or petal, licking a few pollen grains off their fur, or drinking the water from the vase can cause your cat to develop fatal kidney failure in less than 3 days.

We all know how curious our cats become when they sniff out a fresh vase of flowers on the counter (you know, the counter they are not supposed to be on 😏) it is best to stay on the safe side and say NO to the lillies if you have kitties.

If you believe your cat has ingested or been in contact with a lily plant or flower please seek veterinary care immediately. 🐾

Stay safe, everyone!
