With the arrival of spring, comes the arrival of bugs. If you suspect that your pet has been stung by a bee, there are steps you can take to minimize the reaction. Try to locate the stinger, and carefully scrape the stinger away using a credit card. Make a paste out of baking soda and water to soothe the area. To reduce swelling, apply ice or a cold towel to the area. If your pet begins to exhibit more serious symptoms, such as severe swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, vomiting, or diarrhea, seek emergency veterinary care.

April showers may bring May flowers, but for pet owners, they also bring potential health risks for our furry friends. As the rain falls and the temperatures rise, the risk of dogs becoming infected with organisms like leptospirosis and giardia increases. Understanding these risks and taking proactive measures can help keep our pets safe and healthy during the spring months.
Today we’ll look at leptosporisis. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by the Leptospira bacteria. Dogs can become infected when they encounter water, soil, or mud contaminated with the urine of infected animals, such as rodents or wildlife, especially raccoons. With any increased rainfall, puddles, ponds, creeks, and other wet areas can become prime sources for these bacteria, putting our furry companions – and ultimately ourselves – at risk, as leptospirosis can spread to humans as well.
Signs and symptoms of leptospirosis include:
• Fever
• Muscle pain
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
In severe cases, leptospirosis can lead to kidney and liver failure, and in some instances, it can be fatal.
Preventing Leptospirosis
• Vaccination: Ensure your dog is up-to-date on their leptospirosis vaccination.
• Avoid contaminated water: Keep your dog away from stagnant water, puddles, and areas frequented by wildlife.
Practice good hygiene: Wash your pets’ paws after walks and wash your own
hands thoroughly after handling your pet or coming into contact with potentially contaminated water.

This is your yearly reminder to keep pets safe and healthy during the holidays. Avoid letting them near chocolate, raisins/grapes, Easter lilies, or plastic grass, and supervise them during egg hunts, ensuring they don't ingest harmful items.

Here are some other foods to avoid:
• Chocolate: Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and cats,
causing symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and even seizures.
• Grapes and Raisins: These are highly toxic to dogs and can cause kidney
failure.
• Hot Cross Buns: Raisins, sultanas, and currants in hot cross buns are also toxic
to pets.
• Easter Lilies: These plants are highly toxic to cats, and even the water in the
vase can be dangerous.
• Easter Eggs: While the eggs themselves might be fine, the dye and plastic
wrapping can be harmful.
• Plastic Easter Grass and Basket Fillers: These can cause digestive blockages if
ingested.

Spring cleaning is common practice this time of year, but have you checked to make sure you're keeping pets safe in the process? Many common household cleaning products can be toxic to pets, whether ingested or simply touched by paws. Soaps, bleach, polishes, and cleaners can all irritate your pet’s skin and damage their gastrointestinal tract. Cleaning supplies, like a sponge or pipe cleaner, can also present problems when ingested by a curious pet.
To thwart troubles before they start, opt for pet-safe cleaning supplies wherever possible and store unsafe chemicals out of paws’ reach. As a rule of thumb, keep your pet away from where you’re cleaning and wait for all surfaces to dry thoroughly before letting them back into the space.
