While everyone is concerned with Swine Flu, it is highly unlikely that your dog can catch or spread the virus. There are no known dog/cat to human (or vice-versa) influenza transmissions to date. However, with the recent heavy rainfall, its important to keep your dog from drinking out of puddles which could be contaminated with the parasite Giardia, which can cause diarrhea, weight loss, and hair loss in dogs.

Unfortunately, even the most careful of pet parents may need to find emergency care for their dogs. The first step is to be prepared. Find an emergency clinic close to your home and post their number in a prominent place or save it to your mobile phone. If your dog shows signs of serious injury or trauma, you can call the clinic for advice and if necessary, inform them that you are on your way with your dog so they can prepare for your arrival. |
