🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day Weekend from Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic! 🍁

We hope you and your pets enjoy a fun, safe holiday weekend! Here are a few quick tips to help keep your furry friends comfortable during the celebrations:

☀️ Stay Cool & Hydrated

-Bring fresh water, offer shade, and avoid overexertion—especially for senior or short-nosed breeds.
-Hot pavement can burn paws—test before walking.

🚗 Travel & Boating

-Take breaks on long trips.
-Use a dog life jacket on the water—many dogs can tire quickly.

🎆 Firework Safety

-Keep pets indoors in a quiet space.
-Use TV or music to help mask noise.
-Make sure ID tags are current in case they get spooked.

🐾 We’re here if you need us !

Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy Canada Day! ❤️🐶🐱

A big time BBQ season emergency we see often. 🌽

"Corn Cobs a Hidden Danger for Pets" 🌽

Patient Update: Bruno

This is Bruno, a very handsome, 2 year old, Golden Retriever. He presented to Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic after eating a corn cob and started vomiting. X-rays revealed a corn cob gastrointestinal obstruction and surgery was needed to remove it. He is recovering well from his surgery in this picture.

Corn cobs are a common summer danger we see in the ER. When swallowed, they can get lodged in the stomach or intestines, causing pain, vomiting, lethargy, and life-threatening complications if not treated quickly.

💡 To prevent this kind of emergency:

-Never leave corn cobs within your pet’s reach
-Dispose of them in a secure trash can
-Remind guests not to feed table scraps

We’re happy to report that Bruno’s surgery went well and he’s now back home recovering well 💙.

If your pet ever gets into something they shouldn’t, Bluewater Veterinary Emergency Clinic is here when you need us.
