Urgent Warning to Dog Owners
Posted by Scooby @ 3:21 AM Tell- Print-

(The following article is written by a veterinarian)

This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever
seen at MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered
lab mix that ate half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30
AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea and
shaking about 1AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't call my
emergency service until 7AM.

I had heard somewhere about raisins AND grapes causing acute Renal
failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her
bring the dog in immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER
service at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard
something about it, but....Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National
Animal Poison Control Center and they said to give IV fluids at 1 ½
times maintenance and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72
hours.

The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was already at 32
(normal less than 27) and creatinine over 5 (1.9 is the high end of
normal). Both are monitors of kidney function in the bloodstream.
We placed an IV catheter and started the fluids. Rechecked the
renal values at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine over 7
with no urine production after a liter of fluids. At the point I
felt the dog was in acute renal failure and sent him on to MedVet
for a urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight as well as
overnight care.

He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values
have continued to incr ease daily. He produced urine when given
lasix as a diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting
medications and they still couldn't control his vomiting. Today his
urine output decreased again , his BUN was over 120, his creatinine
was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure,
which had been staying around 150, skyrocketed to 220.. He
continued to vomit and the owners elected to euthanize.

This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners who had no idea
raisins could be a toxin. Please alert everyone you know who has a
dog of this very serious risk. Poison control said as few as 7
raisins or grapes could be toxic. Many people I know give their
dogs grapes or raisins as treats including our ex-handler's. Any
exposure should give rise to immediate concern.

Dog Grooming: Clipping the Nails
Posted by Scooby @ 9:30 PM Tell- Print-

If the concept of clipping your dog's nails is scary to you are not
alone. Most folks prefer to ask their vet to try this fiddly task.

There is no reason why clipping your dogs nails should be a terrifying
task in the slightest. There is no need to regard it as any different
to giving your dog a bath. Ideally you must start when your dog is
young to get the dog used to having his feet handled constantly.
-

Desensitizing your dog to having his paws handled will have some other
benefits too : it'll make it simpler for groomers or your vet to handle
your dogs feet and will also mean if your dog is injured you'll be
ready to inspect his paws easier. If it is your very first time
clipping a dogs nails it may be a great idea to observe somebody else
do it first.

Ask your vet or the groomer if you can watch while they clip your dogs
nails. You'll need a special pair of clippers for the purpose. Human
clippers of scissors could tear the nail and cause agonizing torn
edges. Ensure you get the correct size and kind of clippers for your
dog. You may find a nail file helpful too. You may also wish to have
some special clotting powder available in case you incidentally cut the
nails too short and it starts bleeding. You can find all of these
products at your local pet supply store. You may wish to clip the nails
in a quiet place with minimal distractions. If your dog hasn't had his
nails clipped or is especially resistant you may want to ask somebody
to help. You are after all poking at your dog with a pointy object and
it might be deadly ! To avoid mishaps its best to slowly desensitize
your dog to having his paws handled. This part should be
straightforward. Take your dogs paws and massage them a bit. It makes
the process less complicated if the dogs nails are softer. You can do
this by showering the dog previously, massaging some baby oil into the
paws or just dipping the paw into warm water. This has the twin effect
of both softening the paws and cleaning the mud out from under the
nails. Inspect the nails closely and try to find the cluster of veins.
This is named the `quick' and cutting this could cause your dog to
bleed. If your dog has dark nails this is tough. The best policy here
is to trim the nails bit by bit over a longer period. The fast will
retreat over a period of time. Try to chop with the right hand and hold
the paw forcibly. Employ a calm calming voice while you do this.

You do not want your dog to become fearful and make the clipping
tougher. Attempt to cut at ninety degree angles. If you do cut too far
- don't worry! You may use some of the powder to stop the bleeding.
Just spatter the powder over the areas affected or dip the paw into the
powder. There are some other home goods you may use to slow the
bleeding. You may use cornflower or ordinary powder in the same way you
use the styptic powder. You may press the dogs nail into some soap. If
the bleeding isn't too bad - just simply applying pressure should slow
the bleeding. If you have cut your dogs nails too far and they bleed -
this may make the dog frightened of the nail clipping all over again.
You'll need to desensitize your dog again.

If your dog is really scared of having his nails clipped you need to
gradually get the dog used to the method and the tools. Start again by
praising and treating the dog while you handle his paws.

Then get the dog used to the clippers. Step-by-step desensitization
joined with positive strengthening should ease your problem. If you
can't get your dog to behave long enough for a nail clipping remember -
most vets will do it for you. Don't be scared to ask for help.
