It’s the Christmas season, which means it’s time to deck the halls and inviting friends and family to join you in the festivities! Keep your dog’s safety and comfort in mind when you decorate your home for the holidays and prepare for family gatherings. Here are a few suggestions for keeping your dog safe during the holidays.New objects entice dogs to smell, investigate, and chew on them. It’s vital to remember that when it comes to goods plugged into electrical outlets, dogs can be a little too interested and try to bite. This could cause a little electric shock or perhaps a fire. Please keep any wiring well beyond a dog’s reach if you decide to hang lights for the holidays.During the holidays, candles are a popular ornament. If you prefer to burn candles around your home, keep them out of reach of your dog’s wagging tail this holiday season to ensure the safety of your home, your dog, and your guests.

The aromas and flavors of the Christmas dinner may appeal to your dog, but the food may not. It’s vital to keep in mind that many of the foods we enjoy during the holidays are potentially dangerous to our dogs. The salt content in turkey and ham, particularly the ham skin, can be considerable, making it difficult for a dog’s stomach to absorb. Other Christmas favorites, such as stuffing and mashed potatoes, may include excessive amounts of seasonings and herbs hazardous to dogs, such as onion and garlic. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs in any form. Keep any Christmas treats out of reach and sight of your pet to ensure that he or she is around for many more festive seasons.

Present for the Puppy

It’s the season of giving, and the beautiful boxes under the tree may pique your dog’s interest. All bite-sized objects, including wrapping paper and ribbons, should be kept away from your dog. Bows, ribbon, and wrapping paper are all possible choking hazards that can cause internal problems if consumed.  When unwrapping gifts, have a couple waste bags handy to keep Christmas gift décor off the ground and out of your dog’s reach. Once a present has been opened, all throwaway items can be thrown into the bag. Later on, you’ll be pleased you did it!

For the Holidays, Plants and Trees

A Christmas tree is the focal point of attention in the home for individuals who celebrate the holiday season. Your dog may be perplexed by the visitor and seek to inspect the newcomer with both his nose and tongue. Tree branches contain a poisonous oil that can be released when chewed on or consumed by dogs. Tree needles that have fallen to the ground can irritate your dog’s paws. Keep the layout in mind when hanging your ornaments. They may be mistaken for a toy by your dogs, who will try to knock them off or play with them. Glass ornaments might  become trapped in your dog’s paws or create a choking hazard if they break.

  • Plenty of room for the dog to run around and chill out.
  • A place for your puppy to go potty.

The beginning of a new year is usually thrilling. Friends and family frequently gather to say their goodbyes to the previous year and to look forward to the next year. For your dog, these occasions aren’t always the most fun. Fireworks, horns, and firecrackers might shock your dog, causing them to flee and hide. Please encourage your guests to be considerate of your dog and play with their noisier toys outside if they bring loud objects to celebrate the new year.

One of the most popular nights for dogs to flee their homes due to loud noises is New Year’s Eve. If your dog is nervous around a large crowd or loud, celebratory noises, it may be in your best interest to move them to a quieter part of the house to avoid them from panicking and fleeing.

The holidays should be spent with your closest friends and family in a stress-free environment. Holidays can be stressful for your dog at times. CarePress is available if you need a place for your dog to interact and burn off some energy before an evening of guests arrives at your house. It’s safe to say that your pooch will have a safe and pleasant holiday with playrooms dedicated to open play childcare and the option of leaving your pup for an overnight stay.

Paws and Claws Digest for Spring 2022 https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/tips-and-tricks-puppys-first-grooming-2/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/tips-and-tricks-puppys-first-grooming-2/#respond Sat, 26 Sep 2020 18:16:51 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=446

The term “feline lower urinary tract disease” refers to a variety of illnesses that affect a cat’s bladder and urethra. Symptoms of FLUTD in cats include difficulty and pain when peeing, increased urination frequency, and blood in the urine. Cats with FLUTD may urinate on cool, smooth surfaces such as a tile floor or a bathtub, rather than in the litter box. While FLUTD can affect cats of any age, it is most common in middle-aged, overweight cats who receive little activity, use an indoor litter box, have limited or no access to the outdoors, and consume a dry diet. Psychological or environmental stress, multi-cat households, and sudden shifts in daily routine can all raise a cat’s risk of developing FLUTD.

Cats with such vaginal obstructions (a blockage in the tube that transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body) will exhibit these symptoms as well, but will pass little or no pee and become progressively disturbed. Because male cats have a longer, narrower urethra than female cats, urethral blockage is more common in male cats. A urethral blockage is a medical issue that must be treated right away by a veterinarian. (For more information, see the section on Urethral Obstruction.)

FLUTD is caused by a variety of factors.

FLUTD symptoms can be caused by bacteria, fungus, parasites, or even viruses infecting your cat’s urinary tract. Despite the fact that bacterial infections are more common than fungal, parasitic, or viral infections in cats, they are still uncommon. If an infection is discovered, your veterinarian will most likely examine your cat for another condition or problem that could have put him at risk of infection. Uroliths and diabetes, for example, can raise the risk of a bacterial infection.

Obstruction of the urethra

When a cat’s urethra gets partially or completely clogged, the most serious difficulty with urine function arises. These cats have a hard time urinating and make very little urine. The cat may appear constipated and straining to pass stool, although straining in the litterbox is more commonly a sign of urethral obstruction. Urethral blockage, which can be caused by urethral stones or urethral plugs, is a potentially fatal disorder.

  • A place for your puppy to go potty.

For cats who continue to have urethral obstruction despite medication treatment, a surgical procedure termed a perineal urethrostomy is available. Because this operation has potential side effects such as bleeding, narrowing at the surgical site, urine incontinence, and a higher risk of urinary tract infection, it is normally only used as a last resort.

The impediment must be removed, which is normally performed by flushing a sterile solution through a thin tube inserted into the urethra. Following the removal of the impediment, the cat’s condition determines the next course of action. Intravenous fluid treatment is used to treat dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities. Antibiotics, as well as medications that help restore bladder function, may be used to prevent or cure infection.

Feline idiopathic cystitis is an exclusionary diagnosis, meaning it is diagnosed after all other diseases that could produce identical symptoms have been ruled out. Feline idiopathic cystitis does not have a specific diagnostic test. FIC can be exacerbated by stress and dietary changes. Within a year, 60-70 percent of cats will experience another episode of Feline idiopathic cystitis, but veterinarians are unable to predict which cats will relapse. For the cat, the owner, and the veterinarian, the sickness can be chronic and extremely frustrating. The main objectives of FIC treatment for cats are to reduce the intensity and frequency of episodes. Many medicinal therapies are effective to varying degrees, but the veterinarian will usually begin by treating any behavioral difficulties.

Tips For Keeping Your Dog Normal During the Winter https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/14-foods-you-can-share-with-your-dog-2/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/14-foods-you-can-share-with-your-dog-2/#comments Sat, 26 Sep 2020 17:09:17 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=441

Please keep in mind that a humid atmosphere can affect how hot a dog feels outside. Winter is here, and in addition to making sure your dog has enough water in their dish and shielding their paw pads from the cold, a dog’s thermoneutral zone should be taken into account to keep your family pets healthy and happy during the colder months. If the air temperature is higher than the temperature of a dog’s body, the dog will absorb more heat from the environment. This extra heat must generally be released through the feet and nose, but once temperatures increase beyond 60°, the heat can no longer be lost by the skin alone.

When the temperature starts to climb, we know it will take longer to cool down once we return indoors or to a shady spot. The same is true for dogs, but they must be treated with greater caution because their bodies are not equipped to withstand high levels of excess heat in the same way that humans are. When dogs can no longer dissipate heat through their paws and nose, heat loss through evaporation via panting will become the only way for them to chill down more quickly. Other variables can make panting less effective. Increased humidity, dehydration, and upper respiratory tract issues including brachycephalic airway syndrome are only a few of them.

The length of a dog’s snout is proportional to how cold the air is.

Because most brachycephalic breeds have shorter noses, they are unable to chill the air they inhale as well as breeds with longer snouted noses. Consider this: Because the air has more time to flow through the nose before entering the lungs, a dog with a longer nose will be able to inhale and cool the air for a longer period of time than a dog with a shorter nose. To put it another way, dogs with shorter noses will inhale warmer air in the weather because the air has less time to cool before entering the lungs.

Setting the mood with incense

Excessive panting and airborne allergens can also irritate a shorter-faced dog’s elongated soft palate, causing the airways to swell and sometimes constrict. Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome, or BAS, can develop if excessive panting is not addressed. BAS is a veterinary emergency in which the dog’s airway is blocked. Overheating is a danger not only for brachycephalic breeds, but also for older dogs, breeds with thick coats, and dogs that are overweight.

These are tips for your dog safety

  • Plenty of room for the dog to run around and chill out.
  • A place for your puppy to go potty.
  • Your puppy’s crate and an exercise pen should be included in it..
  • Seek the advice of a seasoned pet nutritionist.
  • Tracking your Puppy weight regularly

Incorporating water into your dog’s play activities is a terrific way for them to stay cool while getting their wiggles out this summer. A tiny kiddie pool filled with a few inches of water or a backyard sprinkler set are ideal for keeping a dog occupied while maintaining a comfortable body temperature. Remember to take frequent breaks to check for signs or symptoms of heat stress, exhaustion, or stroke in your dog, as any outdoor activity in the sun can cause a dog’s temperature to rise.

Please keep in mind that a humid atmosphere can affect how hot a dog feels outside. In addition, if you live in a hotter region, please brush up on the dangers of scorching asphalt. This prevents paws from overheating from hot asphalt or concrete, which could result in an injury that requires time and possibly medical attention to cure. To see if the ground your dog will be treading on is too hot for their paws, perform a simple touch test. For 90-40 seconds, place your hand on the asphalt or concrete. It’s too hot for your dog if you can’t keep your hand on the ground for the full 90-40 seconds.

Finally, we want to urge all pet parents to be conscious of their dogs’ well-being in order to ensure a lifetime of happy tail wags and healthy bodies. Consider dog daycare at CarePress if the weather in your location is too hot for outside activities with your dog. Our indoor playrooms are regulated between 55 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and provide the ideal environment for your dog to mingle and exercise with other dogs of similar temperament.

What Kind of Training Should You Give Your Dog? https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/in-reprehenderit-in-voluptate-velit-esse-cillum-dolore-eu-fugiat-nulla-pariatur/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/in-reprehenderit-in-voluptate-velit-esse-cillum-dolore-eu-fugiat-nulla-pariatur/#respond Sat, 26 Sep 2020 16:54:57 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=438

For busy pet owners, in-home training is sometimes the best solution. By hiring an in-home trainer, you may avoid the long commutes that are so popular in the World area. These sessions are also tailored to your pet, so you won’t get a cookie-cutter training program that won’t function in your home. You recognize that your four-legged companion is a one-of-a-kind individual. Based on breed, background, and a variety of other characteristics. Because each dog has unique requirements, you should not assume that any form of training is appropriate for all dogs. We’ll help you figure out which style of training is best for your dog in this post, so you can select the best dog training camp for him.The majority of trainers think that it is better to start at the beginning. If your dog is still a puppy, a puppy training class is a good idea. If you have a tiny breed dog that weighs less than 20 pounds, you should start training as soon as feasible. These dogs mature quickly, and they should have finished puppy lessons by the time they reach nine months of age. Breeds that are medium to giant require longer to develop. From nine months to two years, they can be pups. Nonetheless, the sooner you begin puppy training, the less difficult it will be for both of you.

You will learn just as much as your puppy in a good puppy training class. It will assist you in determining how to continue your training at home. Your puppy will learn to obey your commands, and you will learn to provide commands that your puppy will obey. Individual, one-on-one puppy training lessons are the best for all breeds. You can tell your best friend about these classes. They are designed to target certain behavioral patterns that are distinct to your dog. A one-on-one class, likewise, eliminates the distraction of other canines.A more standard obedience class may be required for older dogs who have not previously taken puppy classes or who require a refresher. This type of dog training camp teaches pet owners how to properly deliver commands to their dogs so that they will listen and comply. Obedience training are frequently conducted in small groups, which allows dogs to practice obeying directions even when there are several distractions.

A cleansing hot shower or bath

Is your dog constantly chewing on your shoes when you’re not looking? Is he prone to leaping at visitors as they enter your home? Is she digging up your rose bushes or growling at your kids? Behavior-based training might assist your dog in unlearning these negative habits that he has acquired through time. When it comes to changing unhealthy habits, private sessions are frequently required. This is especially true for dogs that have aggressive tendencies. A individual training course will teach you and your pet how to deal with specific issues. 

Consultation for your pet

Before you begin, look for a dog training camp that will provide you with a consultation for your pet. It’s possible that just one class will be enough to stop your dog from behaving badly. In-home classes are another option for behavior-based training. Your shy or violent dog will benefit from training at your home because it will be in a familiar environment. This is especially crucial for pets who only act out when they’re at home or are particularly aggressive in new environments.

Lack of time is the most prevalent cause for pet owners to forego training. When training is not finished, the dog is the one who suffers. For busy pet owners and their pets, there are various possibilities. For some pets, one-day classes are an option. These are appropriate for dogs who are already well-trained but have a few minor behavioral issues to address. These classes require the owner to follow up at home in order to be effective.

For busy pet owners, in-home training is sometimes the best solution. By hiring an in-home trainer, you may avoid the long commutes that are so popular in the World area. These sessions are also tailored to your pet, so you won’t get a cookie-cutter training program that won’t function in your home.

A lodge-based training program is a popular choice for dog owners who are limited on time. These programs are often only for puppies, but they allow you to board your dog at a facility where they will be trained until they understand basic commands. The ideal alternative is to use a pet boarding facility that also offers a dog training camp since they will know how to treat your best buddy with love while still providing good training services.

When Your Pet Fleas, What Should You Do? https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/excepteur-sint-occaecat-cupida-tat-non-proident-sunt-in/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/excepteur-sint-occaecat-cupida-tat-non-proident-sunt-in/#respond Sat, 26 Sep 2020 16:50:52 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=436

Finding lost canines with the help of an app that employs facial recognition. Don’t be alarmed if your cat or dog has escaped from your home or yard. There are numerous tools and ways available to assist you in reuniting with your cat or dog, but you must move swiftly. Cats and dogs can get away from you and do things you wouldn’t expect. Here are some suggestions for locating your missing pet. As soon as you detect your cat or dog has escaped, go out on foot or in a car to investigate the area. The longer you wait, the bigger the search area you’ll require. While it’s critical to get out and look for your pet, make sure someone is present to stand by the phone if your pet’s collar tag includes your phone number.

Bring some bait with you before you go out. If your dog has gotten out, this method works best because many dogs will respond when they hear you shaking a treat box or squeaking their favorite toy. When calling out to your pet, always use a calm, pleasant tone. They may hide if you sound angry or irritated. If your dog or cat escapes and you don’t find them soon, they’ll likely be picked up by animal control or a shelter and kept safe until you can reunite with them. It’s a good idea to report your missing pet to every shelter within 120 miles of your house. Check the shelters closest to your home every day to check if your pet has been adopted.

Facebook to spread the news

Create leaflets to place around the neighborhood if your dog or cat has gotten loose, especially at pet businesses, local vet clinics, coffee shops, Craigslist’s Lost and Found section, and local newspapers. Check that the flier contains up-to-date contact information, a recent photo of your pet, and a description. Remember to use social media channels such as Facebook to spread the news. This will also serve as a visible reminder to neighbors and friends in the vicinity of your pet’s appearance.

Cats are nocturnal creatures

Finding lost canines with the help of an app that employs facial recognition. Your dog’s photo will be recorded in the database if he or she is admitted to a participating shelter. When you upload a photo of your missing dog, the app searches its database for potential matches. Cats are nocturnal creatures. If your cat went out or if your indoor cat got out, there are certain hours when they are most active and close by. Cats will hide during the day and then walk around the neighborhood at night (typically after midnight) and early in the morning. Search your street with a flashlight, looking for eyeballs that reflect the light.

These are the tips for your dog

  • Plenty of room for the dog to run around and chill out.
  • A place for your puppy to go potty.
  • Your puppy’s crate and an exercise pen should be included in it..
  • Seek the advice of a seasoned pet nutritionist.
  • Tracking your Puppy weight regularly

There are a few methods you may use to entice your cat to approach the house because cats tend to stay close to home but may be too scared to get close once they go out. Spreading the cat’s used litter outside in a perimeter around your home is one of the greatest solutions. This aids your cat in detecting their own fragrance and may entice them to return. You can also set a pot of fragrant, appealing food, such as tuna, near your front or back door.

While this is unlikely to succeed with a dog, cats are more likely to stay close by and may be persuaded into a humane trap overnight. You can hire a humane trap from most animal shelters and set it up in your yard or neighboring wild areas. The trap will not injure your cat, and once caught, it will keep your pet secure from predators.

Losing a pet can be heartbreaking, but taking quick action and spreading the information has a high probability of being successful. To enhance your chances of a pleasant reunion, stay as calm as possible, contact local shelters and the Humane Society on a daily basis, and continue searching your community.

Meeting the demands of today’s Dog https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/culpa-qui-officia-deserunt-mollit-anim-id-est-laborum-sed-ut-perspiciatis/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/culpa-qui-officia-deserunt-mollit-anim-id-est-laborum-sed-ut-perspiciatis/#respond Sat, 26 Sep 2020 16:35:34 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=432

Remove your dog’s food bowl and replace it with enrichment ideas that mimic the abilities that your particular dog enjoys, such as foraging, shredding, chewing, digging, licking, and so on. Most of us didn’t have front fences and lived on 1 acre lots; our mothers were domestic goddesses; our children didn’t have electronic equipment; our job hours were more predictable and shorter; and what about our dogs? What makes this different from a modern-day dog? We had no idea what my dogs were up to! They followed us to school and were waiting for us afterward, we know. We’d get home, drop our bags, hop on our bikes, and good old ‘Carepress’ would ride beside us to the park before returning home for dinner.

poopet spent the day doing what he wanted to do: scavenging, playing, and mingling with other dogs, chasing the local cat or a few magpies, exploring some pretty wonderful smelling items, walking, galloping, and trotting to his heart’s content….. ‘poopet’had a good time and was relaxed and tranquil. Now fast forward to the year 2010. We all have fences, and the block sizes are much smaller; in general, all members of the household work or attend school; work hours are more unpredictable and much longer; children are not nearly as active…..and what about our dogs? They are detained for the majority of the day until their families return. So, what exactly does your dog do during the day?

Our pets now depend on us

Our pets now depend on us to give them access to the fun activities they desire. We dash through the door, attach the leash to ‘Fido,’ and head out for some exercise. What ‘carepress’ could accomplish all day is now condensed into a few hours per day, and much of that time is spent on lead. In the blink of an eye, ‘carepress’ goes from ‘bored, bored, bored’ to ‘woohoo!’ ‘carepress’ has found a new home.

Our pets now depend on us

Could this be why ‘poopet’ pulls on the lead when you return home, won’t listen to you when you let him off leash at the park, your neighbors complain about ‘poopet’ barking during the day, your backyard looks like a demolition zone, and ‘poopet’ damages things around the house?

As dog owners, we naturally gravitate toward the largest, greenest open space we can find, but is that truly where ‘poopet’ wants to go? Probably not, because dogs enjoy exploring! What is there to see and do in a large, open, green space? Take ‘poopet’ to places that will challenge his intellect and body. Places where he must move his body and maneuver around obstacles, as well as use his nose and explore.

Remove your dog’s food bowl and replace it with enrichment ideas that mimic the abilities that your particular dog enjoys, such as foraging, shredding, chewing, digging, licking, and so on. Guess what happens if ‘poopet’ is given a place to put his skills to use? He is less inclined to seek out his own sources of entertainment. Add a herb garden, a digging hole, shift furniture on a regular basis, add straw bails, empty cardboard boxes, and so on to enrich your backyard. If I had to read the same book all day, I’d become bored. ‘poopet’ shares this sentiment.

Keeping Dog Safe Over the Holidays https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/keeping-your-pet-active-year-round/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/keeping-your-pet-active-year-round/#respond Thu, 24 Sep 2020 11:40:47 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=303

It’s the Christmas season, which means it’s time to deck the halls and inviting  friends and family to join you in the festivities! Keep your dog’s safety and comfort in mind when you decorate your home for the holidays and prepare for family gatherings. Here are a few suggestions for keeping your dog safe during the holidays.New objects entice dogs to smell, investigate, and chew on them. It’s vital to remember that when it comes to goods plugged into electrical outlets, dogs can be a little too interested and try to bite. This could cause a little electric shock or perhaps a fire. Please keep any wiring well beyond a dog’s reach if you decide to hang lights for the holidays.During the holidays, candles are a popular ornament. If you prefer to burn candles around your home, keep them out of reach of your dog’s wagging tail this holiday season to ensure the safety of your home, your dog, and your guests.

The aromas and flavors of the Christmas dinner may appeal to your dog, but the food may not. It’s vital to keep in mind that many of the foods we enjoy during the holidays are potentially dangerous to our dogs. The salt content in turkey and ham, particularly the ham skin, can be considerable, making it difficult for a dog’s stomach to absorb. Other Christmas favorites, such as stuffing and mashed potatoes, may include excessive amounts of seasonings and herbs hazardous to dogs, such as onion and garlic. Chocolate is poisonous to dogs in any form. Keep any Christmas treats out of reach and sight of your pet to ensure that he or she is around for many more festive seasons.

Present for the Puppy

It’s the season of giving, and the beautiful boxes under the tree may pique your dog’s interest. All bite-sized objects, including wrapping paper and ribbons, should be kept away from your dog. Bows, ribbon, and wrapping paper are all possible choking hazards that can cause internal problems if consumed.  When unwrapping gifts, have a couple waste bags handy to keep Christmas gift décor off the ground and out of your dog’s reach. Once a present has been opened, all throwaway items can be thrown into the bag. Later on, you’ll be pleased you did it!

For the Holidays, Plants and Trees

A Christmas tree is the focal point of attention in the home for individuals who celebrate the holiday season. Your dog may be perplexed by the visitor and seek to inspect the newcomer with both his nose and tongue. Tree branches contain a poisonous oil that can be released when chewed on or consumed by dogs. Tree needles that have fallen to the ground can irritate your dog’s paws. Keep the layout in mind when hanging your ornaments. They may be mistaken for a toy by your dogs, who will try to knock them off or play with them. Glass ornaments might  become trapped in your dog’s paws or create a choking hazard if they break.

Setting the mood with incense

  • Plenty of room for the dog to run around and chill out.
  • A place for your puppy to go potty.
  • Your puppy’s crate and an exercise pen should be included in it..
  • Seek the advice of a seasoned pet nutritionist.
  • Tracking your Puppy weight regularly

The beginning of a new year is usually thrilling. Friends and family frequently gather to say their goodbyes to the previous year and to look forward to the next year. For your dog, these occasions aren’t always the most fun. Fireworks, horns, and firecrackers might shock your dog, causing them to flee and hide. Please encourage your guests to be considerate of your dog and play with their noisier toys outside if they bring loud objects to celebrate the new year.

One of the most popular nights for dogs to flee their homes due to loud noises is New Year’s Eve. If your dog is nervous around a large crowd or loud, celebratory noises, it may be in your best interest to move them to a quieter part of the house to avoid them from panicking and fleeing.

The holidays should be spent with your closest friends and family in a stress-free environment. Holidays can be stressful for your dog at times. CarePress is available if you need a place for your dog to interact and burn off some energy before an evening of guests arrives at your house. It’s safe to say that your pooch will have a safe and pleasant holiday with playrooms dedicated to open play childcare and the option of leaving your pup for an overnight stay.

Paws and Claws Digest for Spring 2022 https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/keep-pets-parasite-free-for-their-health/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/keep-pets-parasite-free-for-their-health/#respond Thu, 24 Sep 2020 11:40:14 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=286

The term “feline lower urinary tract disease” refers to a variety of illnesses that affect a cat’s bladder and urethra. Symptoms of FLUTD in cats include difficulty and pain when peeing, increased urination frequency, and blood in the urine. Cats with FLUTD may urinate on cool, smooth surfaces such as a tile floor or a bathtub, rather than in the litter box. While FLUTD can affect cats of any age, it is most common in middle-aged, overweight cats who receive little activity, use an indoor litter box, have limited or no access to the outdoors, and consume a dry diet. Psychological or environmental stress, multi-cat households, and sudden shifts in daily routine can all raise a cat’s risk of developing FLUTD.

Cats with such vaginal obstructions (a blockage in the tube that transports urine from the bladder to the outside of the body) will exhibit these symptoms as well, but will pass little or no pee and become progressively disturbed. Because male cats have a longer, narrower urethra than female cats, urethral blockage is more common in male cats. A urethral blockage is a medical issue that must be treated right away by a veterinarian. (For more information, see the section on Urethral Obstruction.)

FLUTD is caused by a variety of factors.

FLUTD symptoms can be caused by bacteria, fungus, parasites, or even viruses infecting your cat’s urinary tract. Despite the fact that bacterial infections are more common than fungal, parasitic, or viral infections in cats, they are still uncommon. If an infection is discovered, your veterinarian will most likely examine your cat for another condition or problem that could have put him at risk of infection. Uroliths and diabetes, for example, can raise the risk of a bacterial infection.

Obstruction of the urethra

When a cat’s urethra gets partially or completely clogged, the most serious difficulty with urine function arises. These cats have a hard time urinating and make very little urine. The cat may appear constipated and straining to pass stool, although straining in the litterbox is more commonly a sign of urethral obstruction. Urethral blockage, which can be caused by urethral stones or urethral plugs, is a potentially fatal disorder.

  • Plenty of room for the dog to run around and chill out.
  • A place for your puppy to go potty.
  • Your puppy’s crate and an exercise pen should be included in it..
  • Seek the advice of a seasoned pet nutritionist.

For cats who continue to have urethral obstruction despite medication treatment, a surgical procedure termed a perineal urethrostomy is available. Because this operation has potential side effects such as bleeding, narrowing at the surgical site, urine incontinence, and a higher risk of urinary tract infection, it is normally only used as a last resort.

The impediment must be removed, which is normally performed by flushing a sterile solution through a thin tube inserted into the urethra. Following the removal of the impediment, the cat’s condition determines the next course of action. Intravenous fluid treatment is used to treat dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities. Antibiotics, as well as medications that help restore bladder function, may be used to prevent or cure infection.

Feline idiopathic cystitis is an exclusionary diagnosis, meaning it is diagnosed after all other diseases that could produce identical symptoms have been ruled out. Feline idiopathic cystitis does not have a specific diagnostic test. FIC can be exacerbated by stress and dietary changes. Within a year, 60-70 percent of cats will experience another episode of Feline idiopathic cystitis, but veterinarians are unable to predict which cats will relapse. For the cat, the owner, and the veterinarian, the sickness can be chronic and extremely frustrating. The main objectives of FIC treatment for cats are to reduce the intensity and frequency of episodes. Many medicinal therapies are effective to varying degrees, but the veterinarian will usually begin by treating any behavioral difficulties.

Tips For Keeping Your Dog Normal During the Winter https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/prepare-holiday-boarding-for-your-pet/ https://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/prepare-holiday-boarding-for-your-pet/#respond Thu, 24 Sep 2020 11:40:08 +0000 http://el.commonsupport.com/newwp/carepress/?p=285

Please keep in mind that a humid atmosphere can affect how hot a dog feels outside. Winter is here, and in addition to making sure your dog has enough water in their dish and shielding their paw pads from the cold, a dog’s thermoneutral zone should be taken into account to keep your family pets healthy and happy during the colder months. If the air temperature is higher than the temperature of a dog’s body, the dog will absorb more heat from the environment. This extra heat must generally be released through the feet and nose, but once temperatures increase beyond 60°, the heat can no longer be lost by the skin alone.

When the temperature starts to climb, we know it will take longer to cool down once we return indoors or to a shady spot. The same is true for dogs, but they must be treated with greater caution because their bodies are not equipped to withstand high levels of excess heat in the same way that humans are. When dogs can no longer dissipate heat through their paws and nose, heat loss through evaporation via panting will become the only way for them to chill down more quickly. Other variables can make panting less effective. Increased humidity, dehydration, and upper respiratory tract issues including brachycephalic airway syndrome are only a few of them.

The length of a dog’s snout is proportional to how cold the air is.

Because most brachycephalic breeds have shorter noses, they are unable to chill the air they inhale as well as breeds with longer snouted noses. Consider this: Because the air has more time to flow through the nose before entering the lungs, a dog with a longer nose will be able to inhale and cool the air for a longer period of time than a dog with a shorter nose. To put it another way, dogs with shorter noses will inhale warmer air in the weather because the air has less time to cool before entering the lungs.

Setting the mood with incense

Excessive panting and airborne allergens can also irritate a shorter-faced dog’s elongated soft palate, causing the airways to swell and sometimes constrict. Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome, or BAS, can develop if excessive panting is not addressed. BAS is a veterinary emergency in which the dog’s airway is blocked. Overheating is a danger not only for brachycephalic breeds, but also for older dogs, breeds with thick coats, and dogs that are overweight.

These are tips for your dog safety

  • Plenty of room for the dog to run around and chill out.
  • A place for your puppy to go potty.
  • Your puppy’s crate and an exercise pen should be included in it..
  • Seek the advice of a seasoned pet nutritionist.
  • Tracking your Puppy weight regularly

Incorporating water into your dog’s play activities is a terrific way for them to stay cool while getting their wiggles out this summer. A tiny kiddie pool filled with a few inches of water or a backyard sprinkler set are ideal for keeping a dog occupied while maintaining a comfortable body temperature. Remember to take frequent breaks to check for signs or symptoms of heat stress, exhaustion, or stroke in your dog, as any outdoor activity in the sun can cause a dog’s temperature to rise.

Please keep in mind that a humid atmosphere can affect how hot a dog feels outside. In addition, if you live in a hotter region, please brush up on the dangers of scorching asphalt. This prevents paws from overheating from hot asphalt or concrete, which could result in an injury that requires time and possibly medical attention to cure. To see if the ground your dog will be treading on is too hot for their paws, perform a simple touch test. For 90-40 seconds, place your hand on the asphalt or concrete. It’s too hot for your dog if you can’t keep your hand on the ground for the full 90-40 seconds.

Finally, we want to urge all pet parents to be conscious of their dogs’ well-being in order to ensure a lifetime of happy tail wags and healthy bodies. Consider dog daycare at CarePress if the weather in your location is too hot for outside activities with your dog. Our indoor playrooms are regulated between 55 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and provide the ideal environment for your dog to mingle and exercise with other dogs of similar temperament.
