5 Dogs will eat anything (and some of its poison) by Jeff Grognet, DVM Dogs are curious creatures; they also like to eat. This sometimes gets them in trouble when they devour something they shouldn t. Dog owners must be aware of the products, foods, and plants that are hazardous to their pets, and they also must be able to recognise symptoms of poisoning. This is extremely important because the sooner care is sought, the better the outcome for the dog Antifreeze, the sweet slayer Antifreeze is the granddaddy of all poison. This radiator additive contains a toxic substance called ethylene glycol (EG), with a deceptively sweet taste that disguises its ability to kill. Small spills on the garage floor from a leaky radiator may go unnoticed by everyone except the dog The lethal dose of EG for an average sized Labrador Retriever is only an ounce or two. Once ingested, EG is converted to oxalate, which combines with calcium in the dog s blood to form crystals. These block the tubules in the kidneys, leading to acute renal failure. Because it takes time for EG to change to oxalate, there is a small window of time to treat poisoning. Waiting a little too long can mean the difference between life and death The first symptoms of EG poisoning are a sweet breath odour combined with nausea and vomiting. Dogs may initially act drunk or uncoordinated, but within hours they show progressive depression, drooling, and an inability to stand In one tragic case, I saw two Dalmatians stricken with this poison. The first one came in vomiting and could hardly stand. A quick urine and blood test confirmed our suspicions: He was in kidney failure. Luckily, the owner had brought his other dog along too. Testing showed he was in trouble as well, but not yet showing any signs. Both dogs received a dose of alcohol intravenously (one emergency protocol for antifreeze poisoning). Only the second dog survived Chocolate, a toxic indulgence Though we think of chocolate as just a delicious (but fattening) treat, an indulgent dog may find it lethal. Dogs metabolize the chemicals in chocolate differently than humans do. An ounce of milk chocolate per pound of canine can kill a dog; unsweetened baker s chocolate is 10 times more potent The main ingredient in chocolate is theobromine, a heart and central nervous system stimulant. In the early stages of chocolate poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, and restlessness are combined with excessive drinking and urinating. This escalates to hyperexcitability, muscle tremors, seizures, and an abnormal heart rhythm. Death occurs from 18 hours to a few days later, due to cardiac and respiratory failure. If a dog shows any of these signs, he needs treatment combined with intensive monitoring. Vomiting may be induced if the poisoning is caught soon enough after ingestion, or activated charcoal can be given to absorb the toxin One of my patients, an elderly terrier named Howard, ate a chocolate Easter bunny. Thankfully, the worst symptom he developed was seizures that were easily controlled with Valium. Unfortunately, Howard had extensive arthritis. The violent muscle activity during the seizures strained his joints and he could hardly walk for days afterward Page 5 of 18

6 Dogs will eat anything (and some of its poison) by Jeff Grognet, DVM Grapes and raisin, the forbidden fruit Though they may seem unlikely poisons, grapes and their dried-out relatives, raisins, can be hazardous. At first, researchers looked for toxins (pesticides and such) on the grapes to account for poisonings, but this would not explain cases of dogs who were affected after eating organic grapes directly off backyard vines. Clearly it was the grapes themselves that contained the toxic substance, although the specific poison has not yet been identified Whatever the toxin in this fruit, dogs are highly susceptible to it. The average toxic dose is about a half pound of grapes for a medium-sized dog, but much smaller quantities have caused death. Early signs of poisoning include vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite, depression, and abdominal pain. As the kidneys deteriorate over time, urine production stops. Intensive, rapid treatment is needed to retain kidney function Xylitol, the hazardous additive Xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in sugarless gum, beverages, toothpaste, and cereals. While it s harmless to people, it triggers a massive release of insulin in dogs. The animal s blood sugar drops precipitously within an hour of ingestion. Clinical signs include vomiting, weakness, depression, lack of coordination, and even seizures. Xylitol poisoning is treated with intravenous glucose One case report told of a Doberman Pinscher who ate a pack of gum: It killed him. Keep this toxin away from dogs Plants, the growing threat Plant toxicities are challenging to veterinarians. Toxins vary with the plant, the stage of its growing season, and the part ingested The poinsettia irritates the digestive tract, triggering abdominal pain with vomiting and diarrhea. But contrary to popular belief, it has not further serious side effects. Many spring flowers, such as tulips, daffodils, and narcissus, can trigger intense vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and other serious symptoms of poisoning. Azaleas and rhododendrons cause similar signs and can lead to death from cardiovascular collapse Onion, a fatal food I was told many years ago by a veterinary pathologist that the amount of onion in a Big Mac was enough to trigger poisoning symptoms in a dog. A toxic agent in onions damages red blood cells and destroys haemoglobin, diminishing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood I once saw a tiny Maltese after he had a seizure. When I examined him, I found he had pale gums. This prompted me to do a blood test that revealed he was drastically anaemic, but not enough to require a blood transfusion. His seizure was triggered by a lack of oxygen to the brain. I quizzed the owner and found out she had recently modified her homemade dog food recipe by adding onion. A new batch of food, without onions, solved her dog s problem Medicine: not what the doctor ordered Over the counter medications considered safe for people can be toxic, if not deadly to dogs. Low doses of ibuprofen can trigger stomach ulcers after just a few days treatment. Besides extreme stomach pain, ibuprofen can cause dogs to lose life-threatening amount of blood. A Labrador Retriever was lucky to survive after eating a half bottle of Advil. Intensive intravenous fluids were required to maintain his renal function when the ibuprofen attacked his kidneys. Other medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) can cause similar problems Taken From: Page 6 of 18

Double Obedience Trial 22st October 2017 The Club is looking for members to help out on the day. Running a trial requires lots of support from members/volunteers to help the day run smoothly. There are many little jobs that need doing so if you can help out either in the morning or afternoon or all day or have just an hour or two to spare, please speak to our Trial Secretary, Ray Ashman, to discuss what you can do to help us out. ATTENDANCE LIST If you wish to know how many times you have been down at the club the list is up on the Noticeboard. A new list is printed at the start of each month.

11 GIVE ME SPACE We occasionally have dogs at the club that require some space around them. Like people, all dogs are different and some dogs don t cope very well when their space is encroached upon by handlers or other dogs. These Give Me Space vests are not exclusively for dogs with aggression issues, but also for dogs that may have fear-based behaviours. To identify these dogs, they wear a yellow vest, similar to the picture above By a dog wearing these space vests the club believes it is a safe way for the dog to still participate in their class and slowly socialise and integrate within their training class. This also makes the class as safe as possible for all handlers and their dogs and instructors too. Remember, we are working with animals, so we need you, our members, to learn to recognise when these dogs are wearing these vests and give them the space that they require. If you are around the clubrooms or in class and see a dog with a vest on, please assist the handler and their dog by keeping your dog at least 1 metre away. You may be asked to move further away by the owner or Instructor if they feel you are too close, please respect their request If you believe your dog would benefit from wearing a space vest, please discuss it with the Chief Instructor. Please do not get offended if your dog is asked to wear a space vest in class. We have vests for small dogs and up to large dogs Page 11 of 18
