Loud noises, such as fireworks and thunderstorms, can be distressing for many pets. ⛈💥🙀 As the season for these events approaches, we encourage you to take steps to ensure your furry family members' comfort. If your pet relies on prescription calming and anxiety medications, please confirm that you have a sufficient supply on hand when they will need it. To obtain medications prior to the fireworks, schedule a same-day appointment online at Albany Petmedic.

The Fourth of July might be fun for us, but it can be stressful—and even dangerous—for our pets. 🧨🐾
Here are some important safety tips to help keep your furry family safe this holiday:

✅ Talk to your vet ahead of time about calming medications or sedatives if your pet is anxious around fireworks. Don’t wait until the last minute.
✅ Keep pets indoors during fireworks, or in a securely fenced yard with supervision. Loud noises can cause even calm pets to panic and bolt.
✅ Store fireworks, sparklers, and glow sticks safely—these are not toys for pets and can cause burns or toxic reactions if chewed or ingested.
✅ Avoid feeding pets table scraps from the BBQ. Bones, greasy meats, corn cobs, and other cookout foods can cause digestive issues or serious health risks.

Let’s keep the celebration safe, calm, and happy for everyone—especially our pets.

What to do if your dog is sprayed by a skunk 🦨

Ingredients:
1 quart (4 cups) of 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1–2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap (like Dawn)

Directions:
1. Mix the ingredients in an open container (do not store it—it's unstable in closed containers).
2. Wearing gloves, apply the mixture to your dog’s fur while avoiding the eyes, ears, and mouth.
3. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes (don’t leave it on
too long—it can bleach fur).
4. Rinse thoroughly with lots of water.
5. Repeat if needed.

Hot Pavement Alert! 🔥 When the pavement is too hot for your bare feet, it's also too hot for your pet's paws. With rising temperatures comes an increased risk of paw pad burns. On sunny days, asphalt can reach scorching temperatures of 125°F+, even when the air feels mild. To ensure your pet's safety, perform a simple 7-second test by pressing the back of your hand to the pavement. If it's too hot, opt for a different route. Protect your pet's paws by taking walks during the cooler parts of the day and sticking to grassy areas. If you notice any signs of discomfort or pain, visit PetMedic Urgent Care. We're open 7 days a week to provide your pets with the urgent care they need.

Urinary Obstruction in Cats: A Medical Emergency 🚨

Urinary obstruction is a severe medical condition characterized by a blockage in the urinary tract, preventing normal urination. This condition predominantly affects male cats, but can also occur in dogs and female cats. Prompt medical attention is essential, as untreated urinary obstruction can lead to kidney damage, bladder rupture, or mortality.

Causes:
- Urinary stones (bladder or urethra)
- Urethral plug (a mixture of mucus, cells, and crystals)
- Tumors or growths
- Infections causing inflammation
- Trauma to the urinary tract

Symptoms:
- Straining to urinate or inability to urinate
- Vocalizing in pain
- Excessive licking of the ge***al area
- Vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite
- Abdominal distension or discomfort

Diagnostics:
- Physical examination
- Urinalysis to detect blood, infection, or crystals
- Ultrasound or X-rays to identify stones, plugs, or other blockages
- Blood tests to assess kidney function

Treatment:
- Catheterization to relieve the obstruction and empty the bladder
- Surgical removal of stones or other blockages if necessary
- Medications to treat infections or inflammation
- Dietary changes to prevent reoccurrence of urinary crystals or stones

Hospitalization is required for monitoring kidney function, hydration, and ongoing care. Intravenous fluids may be necessary to support kidney function and alleviate dehydration. In severe cases, ongoing care and monitoring for complications like kidney damage or bladder rupture are crucial. If you suspect your pet has a urinary obstruction, it is essential to seek veterinary care immediately. Early treatment, including possible hospitalization, can prevent further complications and improve recovery chances.
