It’s migration time and that means an increase in the number of window strikes as birds not familiar with your yard pass through. If a bird does hit your window, take a look at our FAQs before doing anything: you may save yourself (and the bird) a trip to the Center: http://www.wrcmn.org/faq.php#window (here is an preview of this FAQ from Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. A Bird Hit My Window. What Should I Do? Bird strikes are startling and traumatic to watch. But, oftentimes the bird is simply stunned and will fly away in as little as 15 minutes to as long as a couple hours. We recommend the following steps, to help you and the bird reduce stress and save time: 1) If the bird is near a low bush, pick the bird up and place it at the base of the bush. 2) If it’s cold outside or you’re worried about feral cats, you may place the bird in a shoe box and put the shoe box in your garage or unused room. Be sure to close the door and keep the room quiet to help reduce stress on the already stressed bird. 3) After 2 hours, take the shoe box outside and lift the lid. At this point, hopefully the bird will fly away. If not, the bird has either died from extreme internal injuries (which we could not have done anything to reverse) or it’s evident that the bird has an injured wing, etc., at which point you should bring it into the Center.
Here are skin creams that are deadly to your pet: The top 4 most dangerous are: 5FU (a topical chemo used for skin cancer)
Baby butt creams (zinc oxide), topical Neosporin creams and low concentration hydrocortisone creams (<1%) aren’t typically too dangerous (more of a foreign body risk!)
Thanks for this information Pet Poison Helpline. For the past few years, there have been warnings about chicken jerky treats made in China. When ingested, clinical signs of malaise, lethargy, vomiting, excessive or decreased thirst or urination, weight loss, etc. have been seen due to Fanconi-like syndrome (when one loses too much sugar or glucose through the bladder). Untreated, this can result in kidney failure and death. I believe you should stay away from any food, treats, products, toys, etc. that are made in China! http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/2012/09/chicken-jerky-treats/ http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/ProductSafetyInformation/ucm295445.htm |
