We may have mentioned this earlier in the month, but September is Animal Pain Awareness Month. You know your pet's behavior and routines best. Be sure to make an appointment with your primary veterinarian if something doesn't seem quite right. 🐾

At Animal ER, our team sees a wide range of emergency cases. As a pet owner, are you aware of how to care for a pet's open wound if the unexpected happens? If you find your pet with an open wound, follow the steps below and take them to your veterinarian for treatment. 1. STOP THE BLEEDING. Apply direct pressure with an absorbent dressing or material. This will protect the wound during transport to the veterinary hospital. 2. LEAVE THE WOUND OPEN. The hospital team will disinfect and stitch it up if needed. 3. CLEAN DAILY. Follow your doctor’s instructions. A mild antiseptic solution or warm water 2-3 times daily helps to remove any crusted discharge. 4. PREVENT LICKING. A bandage can help protect from contamination or excessively licking.

It's officially Fall! 🍁 We know we have some pumpkin spice fanatics out there. In October, we'll be sharing more information on favorite Fall foods and tasty treats for your pets - the good, the bad, and the "Pugkin Spice". 🐾😍😂

Halloween is approaching. This can be a fun time for excitement and overindulgence. But if pets accidentally ingest candy or décor, it can quickly become a real horror.

Also watch out for candy wrappers. 🍇 Grapes and raisins are extremely poisonous and can cause kidney failure. 🕯 Lit pumpkins with candles can burn curious pets. If your think your pet has ingested any of these items, call your veterinarian and watch for any unusual symptoms.

Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent or delay health complications.

If your pet is particularly upset about houseguests, talk to your veterinarian about possible solutions.

The Holidays are filled with festive activities and decorations. It’s important to keep in mind that some plants and foods are toxic for you pets. Keep them away from: 🎄 Christmas trees, poinsettia plants, holly and mistletoe, lilies and daffodils. If it’s difficult to keep your pets away from plants, go for artificial plants over the real thing. 🍫 Alcohol, caffeine, candy, chocolate, dairy products, eggnog, garlic, onions, chives, ham and bacon, nutmeg, nuts, raisins, salt, sugar and turkey bones. If your pet does ingest any of these, call your veterinarian immediately.

Whether you live with a cat or kitten, or are thinking of adopting one, here are some ways you can celebrate them this month: 🐈 Spend time with your cat or a friend’s cat 🙌 Give back to cats in need by volunteering at your local shelter 🎁 Buy some new cat toys or furniture to keep them entertained 😸 Teach your cat a trick – they can learn things like fetching, sitting & shaking hands 😍 Treat your cat to some grooming, it’s great for bonding 👩⚕️ Schedule a check-up Got more ideas on how to treat your cat special? Share with us!

Toys are important to your pet’s wellbeing; they provide entertainment and comfort. As pets play with any object they can get their paws on, ensure their safety. 🐾 • Pet-proof your home by removing string, ribbon, rubber bands and children’s toys from their reach. • If you’re planning on buying them a new toy, make sure it’s the appropriate size. Toys that are too small can easily be swallowed or become lodged in your pet’s throat. • Make sure to discard toys when they start to break or are torn.

A smile for your Friday evening! 🎄🐾 Noreen Campbell November 21 at 11:51 AM · I can't even. Lol. The cat.

It’s fun to decorate the house for the holidays, but there are potential dangers for our pets. Here’s a few tips on how to prevent them. 🎄 Christmas tree – securely anchor the tree, keep pets away from the tree and the water. 🌱 Avoid mistletoe and holly – opt for artificial plants made from silk or plastic. 🎉 Tinsel and lit candles – both will attract attention, so it’s best to decorate with something other than tinsel as it can cause stomach issues and don’t leave lit candles unattended as pets may burn themselves. ⚡️ Wires – keep wires, batteries and ornaments out of your pet’s reach. Our team is here for you 24/7. 🐾

A smile for your Friday! :) 🎄All jokes aside, cats (and pups!) are known to be curious and sometimes cause mischief around the holidays. However, the ASPCA mentions items such as wires and ornaments can be harmful for our pet family. 💡Remember to keep wires, ornaments, and decorations such as snow globes out of paws' reach. Wires can deliver a shock, and ingesting ornaments may cause an unexpected emergency. Stay safe and happy through the season! Our team is here for you 24/7/365. 📞(941) 355-2884

Does your pet have dry, itchy or flaking skin that’s making them uncomfortable? This can often be prevented with high quality diet, parasite preventatives, regular grooming and supplements. If they’re still suffering despite your best efforts, consider taking them to your veterinarian. Here’s more information below 👉 Potential causes: Food or environmental allergies, parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, systemic disorders, cold weather, poor nutrition or bathing habits. 👉 Treatment: Treatment depends on the cause, therefore it’s best to see your veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis. In some cases, they may refer you to a specialist.

In 2020, the way in which we served our clients and their best friends shifted to curbside, but our compassion and quality of care remain the same.

A hematoma (a blood blister) commonly occurs in dog’s ear flaps. 🐶 This happens when a blood vessel in the ear bursts and bleeds into the space between the ear cartilage and skin. It can be caused by scratching, shaking of the ears or bite wounds. Dogs with long floppy ears are at greater risk. A hematoma must be examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible to determine the best medical treatment. It’s important to identify the underlying cause, which in many cases may be an infection or allergy.

February is heart health month. Several studies have suggested pets help lower the risk of heart disease. This includes lower blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

It’s a reciprocal relationship. 😍

St. Patrick’s Day is fun to celebrate however it can quickly become hazardous to our pets if we aren’t careful. 🐶🐱 🍻 Keep your pets away from alcohol as any consumption can cause hypothermia, disorientation, vocalization, tremors, coma and seizures ☘️ Shamrock is usually the plant type named oxalis acetosella for St. Patrick’s Day. It’s toxic for cats and dogs as it can cause oral pain, hypersalivation, vomiting, diarrhea and or swelling. If your pet has consumed either, we recommend calling your vet for the best course of action.

Just like us, our furry friends also feel the effects of seasonal allergies. 🌿 Common allergens include trees, grass, weed pollens, mold, mildew and dust. 🐕 You’ll recognize your dog has an allergic reaction via their skin, if its red and irritated, excessive licking or grooming, bold or thinning patches of fur, itching, or rubbing their face or snout on furniture. 🐶 To reduce symptoms, bathe your dog regularly, clean their ears, regularly wash their paws. If it’s severe and persistent, see your vet so they can determine what the cause is to minimize exposure.

Gardening can be an extremely relaxing past time, however while you’re choosing plants for the backyard, make sure the avoid the following which are toxic for your pets:🐕🦺🐈 ❌ Lilies, Sago Palm, Tulips, Azalea, Oleander, Castor Bean, Cyclamen, Kalanchoe, Yew, Amaryllis, Autumn Crocus, Chrysanthemum, English Ivy, Pothos and Schefflera. ✔️ Instead try pet friendly plants like Bamboo, Basil, Catnip, Chamomile, Lavender, Marigolds, Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme, Violets and Wheat Grass.
