⚠️ Water Emergencies in Dogs: Symptoms Can Appear Hours Later 🌊🐾

A near-drowning incident can become life-threatening for dogs, even hours after they seem okay. 🌊🐾

When water is inhaled into the lungs, it can cause severe inflammation and fluid buildup known as non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. This makes breathing extremely difficult and also places dogs at high risk for developing secondary pneumonia.

Signs can worsen over time, so it’s important to monitor closely after any water-related accident.

⚠️ Warning signs to watch for:
• Rapid or laboured breathing
• Coughing or frothy discharge
• Blue-tinged gums or tongue
• Weakness or collapse
• Crackling sounds while breathing
• Extreme lethargy

Treatment often includes oxygen therapy, chest X-rays, IV antibiotics, and intensive monitoring to help stabilize and support the lungs while they heal.

As we spend more time around pools, lakes, and beaches this season, accidents can happen quickly. If your dog experiences a near-drowning event or begins showing any breathing concerns after being in the water, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.

Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is here when your pets need care most. 💙

Meet Marvin 🐾

Marvin, an 8-month-old domestic short-haired cat, visited us after getting a fish hook embedded in his left front paw. His owner suspects it may have happened while fishing equipment was being organized and discarded earlier in the day.

Because fish hooks contain a barb, they cannot simply be pulled back out safely. Marvin was sedated so the hook could be carefully advanced through the skin and removed with minimal pain and stress. After removal, his paw was thoroughly cleaned and flushed, and he received a long-acting injectable antibiotic to help prevent infection.

Thankfully, Marvin recovered very well from sedation.A full body check also confirmed there were no additional hooks or injuries.

🎣 With fishing season here, fish hooks can pose a serious risk to both cats and dogs — whether on hiking trails, docks, shorelines, or even at home while gear is being handled. Always keep fishing equipment securely stored and disposed of properly to help keep curious pets safe.

We’re so happy Marvin is expected to make a great recovery 💙

Meet Arthur, a handsome 10-year-old Domestic Shorthair who recently visited us at Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic. 🐾

Arthur was seen for gastrointestinal upset, possible foreign body ingestion, and a possible secondary acute kidney injury. When he arrived, he was feeling quite unwell — quiet, nauseous, and dehydrated. After bloodwork identified some abnormalities, Arthur was started on IV fluids along with anti-nausea medication, antibiotics, pain medication, and an appetite stimulant.

We were very happy to see Arthur improve during his stay with us. His repeat bloodwork showed normalized kidney values, his appetite returned, and he was back to his normal self. This afternoon, Arthur also passed several small foam pieces, which likely helped him feel much more comfortable.

Arthur was a wonderful patient and kept our team smiling during his stay — he especially loved lounging upside down in his litter box like the goofy boy he is. 💙 We are so glad he is feeling better and wish him a continued smooth recovery at home with his family.
