“Many of the calls that we receive at Pet Poison Helpline this time of year involve pet ingestions of yard and garden products that may have harmful chemicals or ingredients,” said Ahna Brutlag, DVM, MS, assistant director at Pet Poison Helpline. “Additional yard-related emergencies involve pets that have dug into and ingested the contents of compost piles, or consumed various plants and flowers that can be poisonous.”

I’m looking for pictures of pets with interesting stories — is your pet a second-hand treasure? Do you have a favorite picture of your childhood pet? Has your furry pal ever done something completely naughty, but funny enough for a photo? Do you have a pet that only a mom/dad could love or one that no one could resist? Please help me create a gallery of friends’ and clients’ animals (and stories) for my new website! Thank you!

Dog parks are popping up all over suburban and urban areas, and for good reason. Daily exercise helps keep your dog healthy and gives her a chance to get out and socialize with other dogs and humans. In urban areas, dog parks provide a safe space for daily doggie exercise, but recent research suggests dog parks may not be as safe as we might think….

#1 Worst Gross-factor memory: A client came in, took off her sandals and proceeded to rub her bare, nasty, smelly feet all over her dog while I was trying to examine him. YUCK!!! I’ve been pooped on (bloody diarrhea even), peeded on, hit by anal glands, vomited on, you name it…but that is by far the grossest thing I’ve witnessed!

“Typically the first sign of EIC is wobbliness in the rear limbs. If you don’t stop the dog, they can lose balance and the legs can become temporarily paralyzed. Usually they recover in about a half-hour, but if they’re not stopped they can die. Once thought to be ‘hunting dog hypoglycemia’ or dogs that were heat-intolerant, EIC is now preventable through genetic testing and planned matings.”

This is what your dog is feeling when it’s in a hot, closed car: As a dog begins to get hot, it will become anxious, agitated and start pacing, Brainard said, which heats the dog even more. Then the dog will start drooling, maybe frothing at the mouth, vomiting and defecating, the veterinarian said. As the heat starts to affect the dog’s brain, it will stumble, lose its balance and have trouble standing. It will then collapse, and finally lose consciousness, Brainard said.
