Winter storm Enzo is headed to Louisiana and is set to bring sub-freezing temperatures and several inches of snow for most of Acadiana.

The chance of snow can be exciting for those of us who have never built a snowman or made snow angels like you see in the movies. Unfortunately, it's not all fun and games, especially for the animals who are left to fend for themselves outside.

Freezing Temperatures Extremely Dangerous For Louisiana Pets
Dogs and cats are highly vulnerable to frostbite and hypothermia during freezing weather. Just a few hours in sub-freezing temperatures can cause severe injury or even death.

Animals that are left outside without adequate shelter, bedding, or warmth may suffer prolonged exposure, leading to organ failure and death.

A viral Facebook post shows the dangers of relying on a dog house and hay to keep your pet safe in sub-freezing temperatures, "Your house isn't that special that you can't section off an area for a few days." As a pet owner, it is without a doubt your responsibility to keep your pets out of harm's way and in a safe place during inclement weather.

Animal Cruelty Laws in Louisiana Will Be Enforced For Winter Storm Enzo
After speaking with local enforcement, anyone with concerns about pets left outside during the winter storm can call 911, and dispatch will either transfer your call to Animal Control or contact them for you.

You will need to provide an address and description of the animal. Videos and pictures are not necessary, but they do help in most cases.

Under Louisiana state law (RS 14:102.1), it is illegal to neglect or fail to provide proper shelter, water, or food for animals. This includes failing to protect them from extreme weather, such as freezing temperatures. Animal cruelty is a misdemeanor in Louisiana, but repeated offenses or extreme neglect can result in felony charges.

Please bring your pets inside during this winter storm to prevent them from dying a slow, painful death alone in the cold.

Oregon avian flu cat death prompts nationwide raw pet food recall

Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)

The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) yesterday reported that a house cat has died from H5N1 avian flu after eating raw frozen pet food, which has prompted the voluntary recall of raw pet food that was sold nationwide through distributors in 12 states as well as in British Columbia.

The development is part of a growing number of avian flu infections in cats, including new detections in pets from a second California county.

Genetic match between cat and raw food viruses
In a statement, the ODA said the house cat that tested positive for H5N1 died after eating raw food. Tests confirmed a genetic match between a sample from the cat and the virus from Northwest Naturals raw and frozen pet food.

Ryan Scholz, DVM, Oregon’s state veterinarian, said officials are confident the cat contracted the virus from Northwest Naturals food. “This cat was strictly an indoor cat; it was not exposed to the virus in its environment, and results from the genome sequencing confirmed that the virus recovered from the raw pet food and infected cat were exact matches to each other.”

The recall involves the company’s 2lb Feline Turkey Recipe raw & frozen pet food. The product was sold nationwide through distributors in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington.

Oregon’s Health Authority is monitoring household members who had contact with the sick cat, and the ODA is urging consumers who bought the recalled food to discard the product.

Virus kills two Santa Barbara County cats
Last week, Los Angeles County issued an animal health alert about H5 in domestic cats following illness reports in cats from two households, one where cats had consumed recalled raw milk and the other involving a cat that was exposed to an unspecified commercially produced raw pet food.

On December 23, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department announced the confirmation of two H5 avian flu infections in pet cats from two different households. After testing positive for influenza A, a rare occurrence in cats, the cats experienced severe neurological symptoms and died from their infections.

The source of infection is still under investigation.

“Currently, there is no evidence of local cat-to-cat, cat-to-human or human-to-human spread of H5 bird flu, and the risk to the general public continues to be low,” the health department said. It added that people who have close contact with wild birds or their f***s, infected cats, dairy cows or raw milk, sick poultry, and infected cats may have a higher risk of exposure.

Acadiana Humane Society volunteers picked up over 1K pounds in food donations on Christmas Eve 2024. Our volunteers delivered to our AHS Food Bank recipients last night, and also the #Arnaudville Community Fridge. Volunteers from Feeding Others: Outreach & Distribution / FOOD Acadiana, St Barnabas Lafayette, and other non-profits that feed others through the Community Fridges all over #Acadiana, and also the homeless through several different programs, came and picked up what you see in this video for them to use to feed others. What's pictured is what went to other organizations, as our #volunteers had already set aside for the people & community fridges that we deliver to. FOOD Acadiana volunteers delivered food on both #ChristmasEve and #ChristmasDay, from our shared donations and also donations from Whole Foods Market, to fill #CommunityFridges all over Acadiana! #Teamwork makes the dream work! #nofoodwaste #HolidayFoodRescue #Lafayette #StLandryParish #Louisiana I do not own the rights to the music.

Spritz went to the vet on 12/9/2024 for a growth on his shoulder that we'd been monitoring. It suddenly got much larger and raised. Dr. Angie recommended that we remove the tumor soon. We still owe the vet for his visit, and we need to raise funds ASAP for his procedure! Donations can be called into Companion Animal Hospital of Lafayette at 337-284-8898 and ask them to apply it to the account of Acadiana Humane Society for Spritz please. Donations can also be made online through Facebook or through the links on our website. Anything helps! Please like, comment, and share so others can help too!
