About Your Pets

JOAN’S PAWS, FEATHERS AND FUR NOVEMBER 2005
Hello to everyone and I hope your summer was a happy and busy time.
Winter is just around the corner and while we are busy with fall gardening and thinking of the coming holidays, it is also time to think of winter preparations for our beloved pets.
For those of you who prefer to keep your pets outdoors through the winter months; please remember to give them a warm and dry place in which to be protected from the wind, snow or rain. Animals are susceptible to colds and viruses just like people!
Speaking of viruses – there have been reports on television and in the newspapers regarding a new type of canine virus. These reports are, in fact, very real and to-date the disease has shown up in twelve states. This virus possibly has mutated from an equine virus and in the beginning was discovered in racing Greyhounds at tracks. The symptoms are very similar to Kennel Cough; cough, weight loss, lethargy and fever. There is currently no vaccine for this disease. Veterinarian clinics are kept current on information regarding this disease; so do check with your vet if you suspect any medical problems with your dog.
The coming holidays are always a time of joy; being with family and good friends and enjoying lots of goodies, presents and lots of beautiful decorations around the home. Some of these items can and often do present medical problems for our pets – both cats and dogs alike. Chocolate is one of the dangers – it is very toxic to animals. Please be sure to keep all chocolate and other sugary treats in a protective place so as to prevent Fluffy or Fido from a trip to their vet! Another potential holiday threat is that of tinsel and ornaments! Cats and puppies find these items very interesting and if ingested can cause some serious intestinal problems. So please – keep an eye on the kids!
One last concern during winter is that of anti-freeze products! Because of our cold winters and concern for our radiators in our vehicles; anti-freeze is used for protection and can be found in garages or where our pets can get to. Anti-freeze has a taste that animals like and have been known to try to drink. This is extremely toxic and can be fatal – please keep this product out of reach from the furry kids!
I wish you all a wonderful and joyful and healthy holiday season!
Summer of 2005
Summer greetings to you all! With summer comes fun in the sun but also problems for our beloved pets. The heavy winter moisture created a heavier than normal growth of weeds including the dreaded FOXTAIL. This plant resembles wheat stalks but, when dry, dissipates into individual particles with sharp edges. These particles attach to animal fur and, if not removed, will burrow into the animals body causing any number of problems.
The most obvious places the foxtail will invade include the ears, nostrils, and paws and can even be swallowed by the animal and become lodged in the throat. The best prevention is to cut down all weeds in your yard and if taking your animal for walks at parks, be sure to check the entire body for them. The symptoms of having a foxtail problem include head shaking or holding the head in a lopsided manner, sneezing or possible coughing. If these symptoms occur, be sure to see your veterinarian.
With summer also comes the problem of ticks and fleas – especially during the monsoon season when the humidity climbs. Check with your veterinarian for a good product to use for prevention.
For those of you with new puppies, Parvo is also prevalent during summer months. The best prevention is to begin puppy vaccinations at about 8 weeks of age and keep your puppy at home and away from parks and unfamiliar dogs until all vaccinations are completed. Symptoms of Parvo include lethargy, weight loss, vomiting and diarrhea. If these symptoms appear, RUN do not walk to your veterinarian for treatment. Early treatment can save the life of your beloved pup.
This last item is for those of you who may have horses. The state of Arizona is currently dealing with a nasty virus called Vesicular Stomatitis. This virus is caused by a tiny black fly and can be spread by infected horses sharing the same water trough. This disease causes deep blisters inside the mouth, on the tongue, on the hooves and can also attack the teats. Symptoms of this disease are lethargy, drooling and not eating. There is no vaccine for this disease; it must run its course and if you suspect this problem, wear gloves when checking inside the mouth of the horse. This disease is transferable to humans. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR VETERINARIAN if you suspect this disease as the state must be notified.
