Winter Pet Care

Winter can be a very strenuous time for dogs and cats, especially
those that live outdoors.  There are a number of things you can do to
help your pets avoid health problems during the cold months of the
year.

?   Be sure your pet has a warm place out of the elements to get warm.
 Provide outdoor dogs or cats with a dry, insulated pet house or
shelter.  Place thick bedding or straw in the shelter.

?   Dogs and cats with thin fur will be more comfortable with clothing
on when outside.  Clothing doesn't just have to be a sweater, but
boots/booties are good to be worn too.  Otherwise, be aware of
frostbite!  Be sure to remove ice and snow from your pet's paws and
coat as soon as they come inside.

?   Make sure your pets' water supply doesn't freeze- water is
essential for them even in cold weather.

?   Cold weather makes it necessary for your pets to burn extra
calories to keep their body temperature up, so feed your pet
accordingly when temperatures drop.  Don't use the winter weather as
an excuse to feed your pets a lot of junk food.

?   Avoid the probability of digestive upsets from too many holiday
treats.  Chocolate and bones are common sources of problems.

?   Cats and kittens often nap on car engines when the outside
temperatures drop, so be cautious about this.  Before starting your
car, honk the horn, bang on the hood, or check under the hood for
sleepy cats.  Remember, even if your cat is not outdoors, be aware of
your neighbor's cat or a stray that may take comfort in the warmth of
your car engine.

?   Antifreeze is not only toxic, but very tasty to dogs and cats.
Keep all containers covered tightly and clean up all spills
immediately.

?   Seasonal hazards are numerous.  Electrical cords to Christmas
decorations are often intriguing to pets and invite exploratory
chewing.  Tree ornaments can be dangerous if swallowed or knocked to
the floor and broken.  Spray-on snow and other chemicals can be
dangerous to pets.  Ribbon, thread, and string are all very likely to
cause intestinal blockage if ingested- keep them out of your pet's
reach.

While there are many things to keep in mind during the months of cold
weather; just remember, if you have any questions or concerns…you can
always call All Creatures to help you through any situation.

In the colder weather, animals at any age can develop arthritis. A
fracture can also make the bone susceptible to arthritis after the
injury is healed. Overweight pets suffer from arthritis more than
their normal-weight counterparts.

If your pet is having trouble getting up or laying down, navigating
the stairs, or has started to snap or cry when picked up, a visit to
the veterinarian is in order.

If you see an animal in disress because of the cold, call the to RSPCA
on 0870 5555 999.

October Fundraiser

We were soooo glad to have you join us for the Haunted Barn…Haunted
Hospital…Haunted Kennel.  Well, whatever it was called.  Although we
kept getting the run around from the county officials, it was still a
HUGE success.  It was great to hear the screams of those who said, "we
don't get scared"; and also fantastic to see people running for their
lives as they finished up the haunted tour.  We hope you had a
wonderful time, either walking thru the Haunted Kennel or enjoying the
Hayride.  Remember all the proceeds help the many animals that Friends
of Noah gives food, shelter, and medical attention they need until
they have found their forever home.

We look forward seeing you at the Christmas Parade.

Career Day
 
At the end of last month, Dr Raab headed out to St Louis School, in
Owensville, OH (where her daughter, Megan, attends classes).  Dr Raab
had all eyes were on her, as she spoke to the kindergarten class about
life as a veterinarian.  The kids were all wide eyed and in awe as she
explained all the love, and fun that can come with taking care of such
great animals.

Adoption of the Week

Ellie May is a female hound that was found as a very pregnant,
malnourished stray by a local shelter. Upon arriving at the shelter
she delivered 4 puppies. Her time was up and we were contacted. Three
of her puppies have been adopted. She weighs about 50 lbs now from a
very skinny 34 lbs. She is very sweet and laid back just like an
typical hound. She has probably never lived in a house, so she will
need to be taught some manners. Considering her personality, it should
not be too difficult. She is possibly 2 years old. She deserves a real
life! She is fine with other dogs and kids! She is spayed. heartworm
tested, vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $145.00

Thank You!

Behavior Concerns:

Pets have an instinct to hide their pain. In the wild, showing any
sign of weakness could cause the animal to become a target for death.
Nature’s “survival of the fittest” makes hiding pain a good idea in
the wild, but the same tactic can actually threaten a family pet’s
survival if it makes the pet behave aggressively or inappropriately.
Aggression is often a dog’s attempt to protect the vulnerable area
from further pain, and the signs of illness in cats can be very subtle
and are often disguised as behavior problems.

It takes detective work to find the physical cause for a change in
your pet’s behavior. This detection starts with always suspecting a
physical cause at the root of any behavior in your pet that you don’t
understand, particularly if it’s a change from previous behavior.

Let’s say your dog has an ear infection and your child hurts the ear
by petting it. The dog reacts and the child backs off. The next
time—or the 10th time—the child approaches to pet that dog on the
head, the dog may act before the child touches the head. To your eye,
there was no cause for the aggression. But in actuality, there was.
Treating the ear infection quickly could have prevented the aggression
and the formation of this behavior of keeping anyone away from the
dog’s painful ears. The longer the behavior problem continues before
diagnosis and treatment, the more time it will take to modify that
behavior.

Dogs may also react aggressively to protect injured knee ligaments,
shoulders, luxating patellas (slipping kneecaps), hip dysplasia (one
or both hips not seated properly in hip sockets) and a host of other
problems you may not know your dog even has. A change in behavior,
such as self-protective aggression, may be your only clue of a dog
that is injured or ill.

Cats are a little more clear about telegraphing pain: a cat in pain
has his ears flat back against his head and his body rolled into a
defensive posture low against the ground with claws up and ready.
This cat is saying, “Don’t come near me!” You need to let your cat
calm down alone in a quiet room before you attempt to handle him, and
then you should get this cat to his veterinarian.

Housetraining changes get people’s attention quickly, and can be
affected by many physical causes, such as urinary tract infections or
prostate problems. Intestinal parasites are also a common upset to a
pet’s intestinal tract, which can result in house soiling. If your
pet starts urinating on a bed, the explanation is that he experiences
pain when urinating and now seeks the soft, comforting surface of the
bed when urinating, in hopes of it not hurting as much. Orthopedic
problems can cause pets to postpone relieving themselves because it
hurts too much to get into position. Later, the pet has an accident.
You wouldn’t expect that a medication to relieve the pet’s pain could
correct a housetraining problem, but exactly that can often happen.
Pets that urinate in odd places can actually indicate a medical
problem instead of the behavioral problem that is the first
conclusion. Cats are famous for going to the bathroom in strange
places to get their owner’s attention when they are feeling unwell.
They aren’t doing this out of spite – they’re trying to tell you
something in the one sure-fire way they know to get attention!

Changes in eyesight and hearing can happen at any age, and are common
in old age. A pet startled by a touch that he didn’t know was coming
may react protectively or fearfully. Once you know the cause, you can
help the pet use other senses. You can verbally greet the blind pet
before making physical contact, and make sure the deaf pet sees you
before you touch him.

Talk to your veterinarian before attempting to change your pet’s
behavior, because your efforts will likely fail if you’re working with
a sick pet. This advice is doubly true if your pet’s behavior change
is sudden - he’s likely sick, especially if you can’t pinpoint any
environmental changes as a reason for the behavior change, such as a
new person or pet in the home. Be a detective when your dog shows a
concerning change in behavior and take the clues to your veterinarian
so you can work together to try to figure out what’s happening.

VAX CLINICS are held the first Saturday of each month.  Mark your calendars!

Visit Us Online

We had a WONDERFUL time out at the 2008 Barktoberfest and we hope you
did too.  Not only was there a GREAT amount of money raised for
Friends of Noah, but it was a record breaking year!

Thanks for helping to spread the word.  We look forward to your
continued support and generosity!

The “All You Need to Know” About Senior Pets

Optimum health care can add years to the life of your pet as well as
substantially decrease your cost of treating medical problems
associated with aging. We would make the following recommendations:

Comprehensive Physical Examinations:

Since pets age 5-7 times faster than humans, it can be estimated that
one physical examination for a pet is equivalent to one exam every 5-7
years in humans.  The exam should include a very detailed medical
history along with a “nose to tail” physical examination.  In later
years, a comprehensive physical examination should be performed every
6 – 12 months depending on any specific medical problems discovered in
your pet. This screening should include an ECG screening and glaucoma
screening.

Laboratory Screening For Disease:

Many medical problems can be diagnosed through the use of laboratory
diagnostic testing long before clinical signs of disease become
evident.

Specific recommendations for your pet may include:

·         Internal Parasite Examination

·         Heartworm Testing

·         Leukemia/Feline AIDS Testing

·         Urinalysis

·         Complete Blood Counts

·         Blood Chemistry Screening

·         Thyroid Screening

Nutrition:

Feed the highest quality pet food you can afford.  Read labels
carefully.  Ideal diets for senior pets would have less sodium and
fat, and more fiber than regular adult foods.  Higher quality and
premium foods are more digestible and result in less stool volume.  If
a specific medical condition is diagnosed, a specific prescription
diet may be best for your pet.  Vitamin supplements help keep the skin
healthy and may enhance the pet’s immune system.  Fatty acid
supplements may be useful for skin problems, arthritis, & inflammatory
bowel disease.

Fresh, Clean Water:

As the pet gets older, water consumption becomes much more important.
Increased thirst and water consumption is a very important in several
senior pet medical problems.  Be sure to notify the clinic if you see
changes in water consumption.

Keep Your Pet Under Control:

Letting pets run loose takes years off their life.  Statistics show
pets spending the majority of their life outdoors do not live as long.
Be sure our pet wears an ID Tag.  Older pets lose their sense of
hearing and vision; increasing the chances they will become lost.

Vaccinations:

Depression of the immune system occurs in older pets making them more
susceptible to the common infectious diseases.  Maintaining
vaccinations is very important because of this potential for decreased
resistance to disease.

Heartworm Prevention:

Heartworms are a serious & deadly problem.  All pets should be on
heartworm prevention all year long.

Prevent Obesity:

Extra pounds burden the heart, kidneys, muscles, & joints, decreasing
life expectancy 30-50%.  It is much harder to lose weight than to
prevent the weight gain.  If your pet is prone to weight gains, feed a
diet made to maintain weight and limit the access to food.

Dental Hygiene:

Periodontitis is a very serious problem in senior pets.  Tartar
buildup is a result of bacterial infection in the mouth.  Once this
bacterial becomes attached to the teeth below the gums, it spreads all
over the body.  Many respiratory, kidney, liver, and heart infections
are a result of this bacteria.  Dental exams, routine use of dental
hygiene products, and dental scaling/polishing are important for a
healthy mouth.

Grooming & Nail Trimming:

Maintaining healthy skin & toenails makes your pet more comfortable,
prevents odor, and makes your pet “shine.”  Notify the clinic if you
observe excessive scratching, flaking, fleas, ticks, sores, or bald
spots.  Skin growths are also more common in senior pets.  Early
removal decreases pain, your costs, and chances of spreading.

Flea & Tick Control:

We now have excellent weapons in our war on fleas & ticks.  We
recommend the new topical flea control drops available at the clinic.
Do not be fooled. The over-the-counter “look alikes” are not the same
and in fact can be fatal to your pet.

Medicating Your Pet:

Never give human medications or medications prescribed for other pets
to your senior pets.  There can be very serious complications if a
medication is given to a pet that has compromised internal organs.

Maintain A Constant Environment:

Tolerance to heat and cold decreases with age.  Warmth also lessens
the signs of arthritis.

Present the pet for examination if you observe any of the following:

·         Sustained, significant increase in water consumption. {More
than 1.5 cups/day for cats or more than 1.5 cups/10# body weight/day
for dogs}

·         Sustained, significant increase in urination.

·         Weight loss.

·         Significant decrease in appetite or failure to eat for more
than 2 days.

·         Significant increase in appetite.

·         Repeated vomiting or diarrhea

·         Difficulty in passing stool or urine or prolonged sitting in
the litter box.

·         Elimination accidents in the house or general changes in bowel habits.

·         Lameness that lasts more than 3 days, or lameness in more
than one leg.

·         Noticeable decrease in vision, especially if sudden or
pupils do not constrict in bright light.

·         Masses, open sores, or scabs on the skin that persist more
than 1 week.

·         Foul mouth odor or drooling that lasts more than 2 days.

·         Increased size of the abdomen.

·         Increasing inactivity, especially time spent sleeping.

·         Persistent coughing, gagging, or panting.

·         Hair loss, especially if accompanied by scratching or if in
specific areas.

·         Seizures (convulsions)

·         Reluctance or inability to chew dry food.

Pet Adoption of the Week

At Friends of Noah (as well as other rescues and shelters throughout
the Tri-State), there are constantly dogs and cats (of all colors and
ages) that are in need of great homes.  Although times are tight for
all of us, there are still numerous animals waiting and waiting for
their new home.  Stop by with your friends and family or give us a
call.  See if you can help one of our furry friends find a great home.

All of the pets (ready for adoption at Friends of Noah) have been
examined by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, microchipped, FIV/Feline
Leukemia tested, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested, and given a
pre-adoption bath.

Can you open your home to a new family member?  Our pets are all
friendly and well socialized. Any of them would make a wonderful
addition to your family.  Please stop by! There are lots to choose
from.

THE DANGERS OF ANTIFREEZE

Traditional automobile antifreeze is produced with an extremely toxic
chemical called ethylene glycol (EG). At least 90,000 pets, along with
countless wildlife, die every year in the United States after
ingesting this chemical. Traditional EG antifreeze tastes sweet, and
pets and children are drawn to it. As little as two tablespoons can be
hazardous to children and two ounces can kill a dog. They can ingest
antifreeze spilled during installation, leaked from vehicles, disposed
of carelessly, or improperly stored. Make sure to clean up any spills
you are aware of as quickly as possible.

Symptoms of antifreeze poisoning include vomiting, lack of
coordination, mild to severe depression, muscle twitches, and
increased urination. After several days, the dog’s kidneys will be
irreversibly damaged. Eventually, metabolic acidosis and kidney
failure can cause seizures, comas, and death.

The good news is that progressive chemical companies have formulated a
propylene glycol (PG)-based antifreeze that presents less of a health
risk if ingested.

VAX CLINICS are held the first Saturday of each month. Mark your calendars!

Pet Obesity

Obesity exists when body weight exceeds the optimum for the
individual pet by 15 % or more.. Obesity is the most common
nutritional disease in the dog and cat. It is estimated that as many
as 44 % of all dogs and at least 15 % of all cats are overweight.
Overfed pets become overweight pets, and this is a persistent medical
issue in veterinary medicine. With American diets becoming worse in
recent history, it’s no surprise that similar feeding habits have
caused our pets to become overweight and obese too. Obesity is more
common with advancing age and occurs more often in females than males.
It often occurs more frequently in neutered pets.

If you’re not sure what your pet’s optimum weight is the most
practical way of evaluating your pet is to check the amount of fat
over his or her rib cage. Place your hands on your pet’s rib cage with
your thumbs on his back. If the ribs are easily felt, your pet is
considered to be normal weight. If you can feel fat between the ribs
and skin or the ribs are difficult to feel, your pet is overweight. If
the ribs cannot be felt, your pet is obese. In some pets, particularly
cats, a large abdomen that hangs down or protrudes to the sides,
indicates obesity. Your veterinarian should confirm this judgment of
your pet’s weight status. Your veterinarian will rule out other
medical conditions that might look like obesity, such as
hypothyroidism. It is important to confirm that your pet is really
overweight and not just showing signs of heart, kidney, or glandular
disease.

The funny things is that no animals except maybe misbehaving ones,
feed themselves – its take an owner to put out the pets food. Because
of this we can control obesity in pets by only providing them with
their dietary requirements. Overfeeding and lack of exercise cause
obesity, so controlling our pet’s caloric intake to match its
lifestyle can prevent it. In particular with cats, leaving food out
all the time leads to obesity. Bored animals tend to graze all day
long when in reality they may only need to eat once daily.

Heavy animals are sometimes not recognized as carrying too many pounds
until your veterinarian points it out. You may not notice that your
pet is putting on weight on a day-to-day basis, but over a period of
time this can add up. Veterinarians and their staff are trained to be
able to advise owners of what to feed, how much to feed, and how often
to maintain your animals’ ideal weight. In this day and age there are
some excellent formulated diets available that contain all the
protein, calories, minerals and vitamins your pet needs for maximum
performance or laying around. If your pet needs to lose weight,
consult with your veterinarian before starting your pet’s new diet.

Being overweight may cause many problems such as heart disorders,
arthritis, diabetes, some skin diseases, and a lazy pet. Obese dogs
and cats have a higher incidence of skeletal and cardiac problems,
diabetes, impaired reproductive efficiency and risks associated with
anesthesia and surgery. Most studies in human beings and animals
support the concept that obesity shortens life.

Sometimes cutting out all the treats may be enough, depending on how
overweight your pet is. Some animals are more susceptible to gaining
weight than others; this includes pets that have been neutered, older
pets and certain individuals with a genetic tendency towards obesity.
Pets belonging to older people are frequently overfed, as they are the
center of their attention. It is more difficult to achieve weight loss
when the animal has gained the extra pounds. By reducing or
eliminating table scraps, monitoring serving size, and increasing the
amount of exercise your pet intakes may help achieve this goal.

Employee Highlight

Linda Follmer lives in Amelia, and has 2 kids and 2 granddaughters (a
three year old, and a five month old). She has been a great addition
to the All Creatures team for the past 5 years as the Receptionist
Manager. She is a great help to Friends of Noah too, as she spends a
lot of time setting up and helping run the various fundraisers
throughout the year. During her time off, she loves to swim in her
pool, garden, read books, or even attend concerts (some of her recent
favorites include: Journey, Heart, and Cheap Trick).
Linda has 3 dogs (two Newfoundlands named Piper and Cody; and a
Labrador Retriever named Cassie). She also has 2 office cats, named
Pookie and Figaro (pictured with Linda here).

Pet Adoption of the Week

Sally has a sad story to tell. The first part of her life she lived in
an Amish puppy mill and was used for breeding purposes even though she
is a mix breed. She was rescued and came to us. She was adopted in
2005 by a couple that had no children. Her life was very good for
awhile, then her owners decided to have a baby. Sally was soon
forgotten about and they made the decision not to keep Sally because
she was unsure of small children. Sally was returned to us. She was
not happy and hid in her crate most of the time. She has since then,
come out of her shell some. She does not trust children, but would do
fine with an older person. Sally’s adoption fee would be removed for
the if the right person for Sally decided to give her a chance that
she so deserves. Sally is vaccinated and spayed.

Jasmine is a Jack Russell female that was found running down a main
highway. She was in heat and would not have survived the traffic, but
was lucky that someone stopped to help her. She was never claimed and
is now awaiting a chance at a new life. She is truly a Jack and has a
lot of energy. She seems to be housetrained as well. She was
vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. She is small and mostly white in
color. She was unsure of other dogs when she first came to us, but has
since learned to get along with other adoption dogs. She is possibly
1-2 years of age.

If you’re not sure if these dogs are the right fit for you, but would
like to see some others that may be a great match, stop by Friends of
Noah. There are always loving, good natured animals needing homes.

All of our pets that we adopt out to their new homes have been
examined by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, microchipped, FIV/Feline
Leukemia tested, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested, and given a
pre-adoption bath.

We do ALL THESE SERVICES below our cost just to get these pets into
good homes. Our pets are all friendly and well socialized. Any of
them would make a wonderful addition to your family. Please stop by!
There are lots to choose from.
