Avery Hill Kennel & vom schönen Berg German Shepherds

07/11/2024

Working in ER this past week: We had four heat injuries each day for two days straight. Four of these were French Bulldogs, which happens to be the most common US breed these days. The others were three Rottweilers (brachycephalic by exam) and one Pit X.

Only ONE survived. NOT a Frenchie. Not a brachycepahlix breed. The Pit X.

Why? He happened to be playing in a pond. He ran and played with kids on land and then in the shallow pond water in 95 F 85% humidity weather until he collapsed. The humidity at his breathing level was probably a lot more, since it was approx 12 inches above water level.

They recognized a problem and brought him in… from one hour away.

On arrival
he was HYPOTHERMIC. Low body temp. Typical of heat injury. We warmed him up, treated his other abnormalities and within a
few hours he waa normal. Like NORMAL. No kidney failure. No coagulopahty. NO PROBLEMS.

Why is this? Probably because this dog reached critical heat injury when he happened to be in the best environement for treatment… IMMEDIATE cooling in water that was colder than him.

RAPID cooling with the coldest source available is what saves dogs with heat injury.

It’s time ro let go of the old wive’s tales of how ice water causes vasoconstriction or that rapid cooling is bad. HEAT is what causes death in heat inrjury, not the coolong method.

From a local Vet....
This tick has been hanging around for us to show people for a while. After months in a sealed container with no additional feeding she laid eggs. This gives you an idea of how long a tick can be dormant and how many eggs one female can lay. Remember ticks bloom again in the fall so keep up with prevention.

THE BEST BONES TO KEEP YOUR PET’S TEETH CLEAN! 🪥🦴

There are three ways to clean your dog’s teeth🐶🦷: your vet can professionally clean them, you can brush them every night, or you can encourage your dog to chew a raw meaty bone.🍖

Gnawing a raw recreational bones, especially a meaty one with cartilage and soft tissue still attached, is a great way for your dog to naturally get the equivalent of a good brushing and flossing.

⚠️But not all bones are safe for your pet🐶🐱 and certain types of bones are better than others for keeping your their mouth healthy. So today in the Inside Scoop, Dr. Katie Woodley Dvm and Dr. Laurie Coger are joining us to go over all the different types of bones and help you choose the right one for your dogs, cats and puppies!

We'll also be discussing:
⚡️When you should (or shouldn’t) deworm your pet
⚡️Natural repellants for fleas & ticks this summer
…plus download our TWO free ebooks on naturally cleansing parasites plus a bone guide!

Join us today at noon ET for this lively discussion! We’re looking forward to seeing your questions in the chat! 🙌

This is why positioning first is so important and secondly going to a Vet that understands positioning and how to properly read hip X-rays
You would not believe the amount of times I took dogs in for OFA and ask the Vet … How did the hips look after they X-rayed the dog.
And they said I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t really know how to read hip X-rays
Whattttttt 😳

DOES YOUR PET REALLY NEED BOOSTERS EVERY YEAR? 💉

Spring means annual shots, and soon you’ll be getting that email or postcard📧 from your vet letting you know your dog or cat is due for their annual boosters.

We all want our pets protected from life threatening diseases, but did you know your pet may be carrying enough protection from their puppy and kitten shots to last a lifetime?! (Just like your childhood immunizations).

Your pets may not need to be “boosted” at all, and giving more shots to an already-immunized animal is not only a waste of money, but in worst case scenarios, may cause serious immune issues of all types.

In today’s Inside Scoop episode, immunologist and titer expert Dr. Laurie Larson will be joining us to discuss pet vaccinations and titers, including:

🔥Why it is important to measure antibody titers

🔥How often should you check titers

🔥Puppy and kitten vaccinations: when and what do they really need

Join Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker today at 12pm ET for this Live discussion. Looking forward to seeing you in the comments! 🙌

Dr. Laurie Larson runs the Companion Animal Vaccines and Immuno Diagnostic Service Lab and Titer Service at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and also teaches veterinary immunology.
