🌧️🐾 Pet Health Tips for the Rainy Season 🐾🌧️
As the rainy season begins, our pets are exposed to new health risks. Here’s what to watch out for and how to keep them safe:
⚠️ 1. Leptospirosis
Caused by bacteria in stagnant water, puddles, and wet soil.
Can be fatal to pets and transmissible to humans.
Watch for: fever, vomiting, weakness, and yellowing of the eyes or gums.
✅ Prevention: Avoid letting pets play in flood water; ensure they’re vaccinated.
⚠️ 2. Tick and Flea Infestations
Humid weather increases tick and flea activity.
Watch for: excessive scratching, hair loss, or skin irritations.
✅ Prevention: Use anti-parasitic treatments regularly.
⚠️ 3. Fungal and Skin Infections
Wet fur and damp skin create the perfect environment for fungal growth.
Watch for: itchy, red, flaky, or smelly skin.
✅ Prevention: Dry your pet thoroughly after rain exposure or baths; avoid letting them stay wet.
⚠️ 4. Colds and Respiratory Issues
Sudden temperature drops can lead to sniffles and sneezing.
Watch for: nasal discharge, coughing, and lethargy.
✅ Prevention: Keep your pets warm and dry; avoid cold drafts.
⚠️ 5. Stress and Boredom
Rainy days may limit outdoor walks and playtime.
Watch for: restlessness, chewing, or behavioral changes.
✅ Prevention: Provide indoor enrichment—puzzle toys, training games, and cuddle time.
