DO YOU KNOW THE RISKS⁉️

Dry Drowning, secondary drowning, occurs from water being aspirated into the lungs or other parts of the dogs airway. In cases where the water does not make it into the lungs the vocal cords can be effected, causing spasms which make it difficult for the dog to breath.

Dry Drowning has serious health concerns and can lead to death ❗
What makes it so scary though is that is can effect your dog hours to days after the water exposure ❗

Have you ever had water go the wrong way when you having been swimming, causing you to choke? Often the incident that leads to dry drowning does not look like much, which is why it does not register with us as a concern. When a dogs head goes under water, even for a moment, you should monitor for symptoms. An unprepared water instant can also lead to a gasp for air at the wrong moment, increasing the risk of aspiration.

Playing with the sprinkler or the hose... these activities can also contribute to dry drowning💦

Some Symptoms may Include some of the following:
💧 Difficulty Breathing
💧 Wheezing
💧 Coughing or Hacking
💧 Signs of Chest Pain
💧 Extreme Lethargy
💧 Poor Capillary Refill and/or Pale Gum Colour

If you suspect dry drowning seek immediate veterinarian assistance❗❗
If your dog stops breathing perform artificial respiration, or CPR if no heartbeat is present, while you are waiting for professional assistance. To prepare you for this Canine Health Canada offers K9 CPR & Emergency First Aid Training Courses that you can register for.

What can you to for Prevention?
💦 When Swimming make sure your dog can get out of the water and knows where that location is
💦 Do not spray the hose at your dogs face or allow them to "attack" the hose while water is coming out.
💦 Monitor play with sprinklers as well, if they start biting at the water it may be time to stop playing in the spinkler.
💦 When boating use a properly fitted life jacket in case the dog falls in the water
💦 Supervise play while swimming and playing in the water, know when to stop because your dog will keep going even when they shouldn't!

Sad. Investigate where your "rescue" originated.

Some Colorado pet rescue organizations have become multi-million dollar puppy importers. A CBS4 investigation found protections, for pets and people, haven't kept up.

Curious about how to pronounce Roisin’s name? Here is a handy link!
She is an Irish girl through and through.
