Topic: A Particularly Bad Year For Ticks

by D.E.L.T.A. Rescue Veterinarian, Dr. Gaylord Brown

We are being challenged at the sanctuary by this pesky pest! Discussions with my colleagues indicate this seems to be a common problem, at least throughout Southern California.

Besides  the obvious problems of potential anemia if heavily infested; ticks can also carry a number of diseases. Lyme’s disease, ehrlichiosis, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever are the most common tick borne diseases.

The symptoms of all of these diseases are similar.

• Fever,
• depression,
• discomfort in the joints,
• and anorexia are common.

More severely afflicted dogs will also have vomiting and diarrhea. Death may occur! A period of tick feeding is required to transmit these diseases. Therefor, quick removal will help prevent infection.

If your pet exhibits any of these signs after a tick infestation have them examined by your veterinarian.

• When hiking with your pet make efforts to treat with a high quality tick repellant. Pyrethrin based products are extremely safe.
• If your yard or home is infested use a spot on product for dogs and cats containing fipronil. These pets may still be sprayed with pyrethrins, as needed according to label directions.
• You may treat the yard with sevin dust or spray. Due to the life cycle of ticks plan on treating the premises every two weeks for at least three treatments.

Topic: Spring Injuries

by D.E.L.T.A. Rescue Veterinarian, Dr. Gaylord Brown

After a long, cold winter we are all anxious to get back to outdoor activities!

Your faithful companions are anxious to get back out with you. Be aware there are some pet injuries that commonly occur during this transition to spring. With a little fore thought they can be avoided.

Each year, during this time, I would see a number of dogs with injured foot pads. This would happen because during the winter the pads will become soft and fragile. Then, with the first days of good weather, owners are anxious to get out walking and hiking. Soft foot pads coupled with hot streets or hiking paths will invariably lead to blisters.

Often owners are completely unaware of the damage done to their pet’s feet until they start limping. Then on exam there are peeling, raw sores on the bottom of the feet. The same thing will happen to dogs running around on a pool deck when the kids get back to swimming!

After a long winter, dogs are also prone to muscle aches and strains when they suddenly start back to full outdoor activities. Playing catch with a frisbee is definitely more strenuous to your dog than to you.This is especially true of dogs that are senior citizens. They may already be experiencing some osteo-arthritis. These pets will be especially sore the next day!

Prevent these injuries by bringing your dog back to activities slowly. Dogs will build strength and toughness to their feet quickly.  Also be aware of the heat of the ground. Start hiking in the early morning or late evening after the ground has cooled down. For those who must hike mid-day there are booties available for your dog to prevent blisters. There are medications available for skeletal or muscle soreness from our veterinarian. However, treatment of severely blistered feet can take 2-3 weeks to heal.

So enjoy the spring and daylight savings time, but keep in mind your dog needs some conditioning to get back up to full speed.

We have lost two special animals this past month, ones I’d written to you about, and I’d like to remember them here, now that they are back amongst the angels. If we did this all for them alone, it was worth it. And I hope they know that someday when we meet again.

Chubbs had a good life with us when she almost died, at 14-years-old. We thought we would lose our cherished old friend. But thanks to our intensive care, and her fighting to return to those who truly love her, Chubbs made it. Then, a year later, there was this moment of rubbing and drooling that made my heart sing! Chubbs past away from an embolism at 16-years-old last week. There is an empty space in our hearts.

I rescued Romeo and his sister Juliet in 1999. They were together every moment of their lives.

When Juliet passed away in her sleep last year, I though Romeo had lost the will to live. But then I asked him to help Raisin, a dog with cancer in her final months, and he did. He took care of Raisin until his heart broke a second time. Then his weak heart gave out last week, and now he’s with his sister and his friend again.

When our animals pass away, we cremate them and their remains are stored safely in our concrete basement. All of them. I will put Juliet’s and Raisin’s boxes together with Romeo’s so they will all be together again here on this planet, as well as spiritually.

I just realized that this work is so painful that I expect my own heart will just give out one day, like Romeo’s, and I WILL see all my friends again. Otherwise it will be a huge disappointment.

But that’s not for a few decades more. Meanwhile, there are lots of lives to save. So let’s all grow old together! I will keep fighting for these precious animals, rescuing them, and caring for them at our mountain-top sanctuary as long as you keep supporting this mission.

To be sure they will continue to be cared for after we’re gone, please make our animals beneficiaries in your estate and insurance plans as I have done.  If you want to know more about wills, insurance, trusts, etc., or if you want a free second opinion from our lawyer, just call 661-269-4010.

And please, never forget these two angels, Chubbs and Romeo.

Topic: Valentine Dangers to Your Pet

by D.E.L.T.A. Rescue Veterinarian, Dr. Gaylord Brown

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner be aware of some treats and gifts that can be toxic or dangerous to your pets.

Lilies are often included in Valentine bouquets. They contain a toxin in the petals, leaves, and pollen. The water in their vases can become toxic due to their presence. These lilies can cause acute kidney failure in cats within a day or two of exposure. In dogs the toxin does not cause kidney failure but will cause a gastroenteritis.

Roses may cause a gastrointestinal upset in both dogs and cats if their petals or leaves are consumed. They also present a puncture risk to your pet’s mouth due to the thorns.

Many are aware that chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats. The toxic component of chocolate is theobromine. The darker the chocolate the more theobromine it will contain. This toxin is dose related. The more ingested, the greater the risk. The signs range from mild vomiting to seizures and collapse. White chocolate is not without risk. The high sugar and fat content may lead to pancreatitis.

Common items covered in chocolate can increase the risk. The most likely offenders are raisins, espresso beans, and macadamia nuts. Raisins alone may cause kidney failure. The espresso beans’ caffeine content will potentiate the toxic effect of the theobromine and in high doses is toxic alone. Macadamia nuts can cause a generally non-fatal toxicity in dogs characterized by nausea, ataxia, weakness, hyperthermia, and depression. If chocolate is added the event could be fatal.

A common sugar substitute, xylitol, is toxic to pets. It is commonly found in sugar free gum, candy, baked goods, and breath mints. Xylitol may cause a sudden drop in blood sugar and liver failure in dogs.

The key to treatment is early recognition and prompt medical treatment. Ingestion of these toxins is a true medical emergency and should be treated as such. Prevention is the best strategy. Seek veterinary assistance if ingestion occurs. Have a safe and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Topic: Beware Ibuprofen in Dogs

by D.E.L.T.A. Rescue Veterinarian, Dr. Gaylord Brown

Ibuprofen is a common non-steroidal ant-inflammatory used in humans for analgesia. Its relative safety in people have led some well meaning pet owners to consider its use in dogs to alleviate discomfort from arthritis. unfortunately, such action may lead to death due to perforations in the stomach or upper intestine.

Acute toxicosis due to ingestion of large numbers of ibuprofen tablets has long been recognized in veterinary medicine. This typically occurs when a pet gets a hold of an entire bottle of medication and consumes a large number of tablets. Signs of this include vomiting, diarrhea, and death due to renal failure.

However, well meaning dog owners have unwittingly caused severe damage to their pet’s gastrointestinal tract by giving small doses in an attempt to alleviate signs of limping or pain. Sensitivity to such ingestion varies from pet to pet. Some dogs can develop perforations in the intestine with a single dose of medication. The longer the dog consumes the ibuprofen the more likely a perforation will occur.

Unfortunately, the death rate from such perforations is quite high. Even if the dog has surgery, the bowel may be so friable the lesion cannot be successfully repaired. The simple message from the alert is do not give ibuprofen to your pet!

D.E.L.T.A. Rescue veterinarian, Dr. Gaylord Brown

The old advice of vaccinating your cat or dog with all vaccines available on a yearly basis has come under close scrutiny.

Research has indicated there may be some health problems linked to over vaccination. Liver disorders and the development of vaccine associated sarcomas are prime examples. The duration of immunity and the need for protection against specific diseases should be the determining factors in which vaccines are given and how often.

The duration of immunity is determined by the type of vaccine and the age the vaccine is given. For puppies and kittens a series of vaccines is needed to build up a protective antibody level. Vaccines given at 8, 12, and 16 weeks generally does the trick. These pets are then given a booster at one year of age. After that boosters are needed every 3 years. This protocol appears to be effective for canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine coronavirus, feline distemper, and feline respiratory diseases. For rabies no series is needed with one vaccine given at 16 weeks, a booster at one year, then every three years.

Situational vaccines are a different problem. Leptospirosis, lymes disease, feline leukemia, feline peritonitis, and feline immunodeficiency may need yearly boosters. However, not all pets are in a position to need such vaccines. If your pet is not in an area where such diseases are an issue you should not vaccinate. It is crucial to find a veterinarian who will honestly assess your pet’s need to be vaccinated and not one who recommends every vaccine known to the species of your animal on a yearly basis.

Dedication and Everlasting Love to Animals – we vaccinate every three years.

PET SAFETY: There are a number of potentially dangerous situations surrounding  your pets and the Holidays.

Decorations can be potentially lethal if eaten by your pet. Cats are notorious for consuming tinsel, used to decorate trees. These strands of shiny plastic can become entrapped in the bowel and lead to intestinal obstructions. Make sure decorations are out of reach from your pet.

Accidental or intentional ingestion of human foods by pets is a common source of illness and even death over the Holidays. Chocolate and raisins are around in abundance during this time of year and both are toxic to dogs. Feeding leftovers to pets has caused more than one case of pancreatitis; so resist the temptation to overindulge your pet.

Finally, be careful with those treats made especially for animals.

Monitor how much and how often rawhides and other chews are given. Over consumption can lead to intestinal blockage or gastroenteritis. If your pet quickly devours these types of treats be certain to space them out over a few days.

We want you all to have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!

Rattlesnake season is here, and the veterinarian of the 501(c)(3) non-profit D.E.L.T.A. Rescue, the world’s largest no-kill, care-for-life sanctuary, is offering critical advice on rattlesnake bite prevention — and what to do in the event a pet tangles with a rattlesnake.

“As the temperature warms and days get longer, accidental encounters with rattlesnakes increase in the Southwest,” explained D.E.L.T.A. Rescue veterinarian Gaylord Brown, D.V.M., who in his former private practice saw countless rattlesnake bites. “Dogs, due to their inquisitive nature, are more at risk of being bitten. However, people may not know that cats are also at risk.”

Typically, a dog will blunder into a rattlesnake, causing the snake to strike in self-defense. As a result, most rattlesnake bites in dogs occur on the nose. Cats, being naturally more cautious and prone to striking at a threat with their claws, are more likely to be bitten on the front paw or leg.

The prospect of a beloved pet getting in a dust-up with a rattler can be terrifying. The good news: People can protect cats and dogs from being bitten in the first place. According to Dr. Brown, who answers questions on the “Ask the Vet” section of DeltaRescue.org, avoidance is the best way to prevent a rattlesnake bite.

Dr. Brown cautions people to keep their dogs close when hiking, stay on well-marked trails and to make their presence known. If the snakes are closer to home, Dr. Brown advises homeowners to consider installing snake wire on the bottom two or three feet of fence around their yards — as D.E.L.T.A. Rescue does at its sanctuary — and to be particularly watchful at dusk and dawn, when rattlesnakes are most active.

But what if an encounter between a pet and a rattlesnake is unavoidable? Signs of a rattlesnake bite, says Dr. Brown, include acute swelling, pain, and dark, bloody drainage from the fang sites. A bite to the pet’s face will almost always cause excessive drooling; with any rattlesnake bite, the pet will likely be depressed and begin panting. Once bitten by a rattlesnake, a pet must be kept quiet and still. Dr. Brown discourages tourniquets and says lancing or suction at the fang marks should only be done with mechanical suction devices by those trained in the technique.

“A person whose pet shows signs of having been bitten by a rattlesnake should seek medical attention with a veterinarian immediately,” said Dr. Brown. “With treatment, survival rates are high, and most veterinarians in endemic snake areas have antivenin.”

She rarely stops moving. Full of energy, she adores everyone around her and is always up for an adventure.

The only clue that her life has not always been so easy is her missing leg. Her name is Anna, and she has quickly become an inspiration to her caretakers at D.E.L.T.A. Rescue, the world’s largest no-kill, care-for-life sanctuary — and the only rescue organization focused on saving pets abandoned in the wilderness.

Photos of Anna:

Though the winsome brown dog can’t actually tell anyone what she’s been through in her life, D.E.L.T.A. Rescue veterinarians have pieced together enough of Anna’s history to understand just how remarkable she is. When rescuers found Anna in the desert, she was dragging a badly injured leg. But she was friendly, making it easy for them to bring her back to one of the two fully staffed veterinary hospitals at the D.E.L.T.A. Rescue sanctuary outside Los Angeles.

“Anna must have been someone’s pet for a while, because she’s too friendly and trusting to have been born in the desert,” said D.E.L.T.A. Rescue founder and animal welfare activist Leo Grillo. “She also has been a mother. We don’t know whether she had her puppies in the desert after being abandoned, or in her former home, which nonetheless took her for a drive and tossed her away.”

Anna already had one strike against her when she arrived in the desert: She was born with vision in only one eye. The wounds on Anna’s leg indicate she probably became caught in an illegal coyote leg-hold trap before eventually chewing off her own foot to escape. Her ordeal must have been horrifying, yet the day after her surgery at D.E.L.T.A. Rescue, Anna enthusiastically pulled her veterinary nurse into the facility’s grassy yard for some play time.

“Anna is showing us we can take hits and carry on our work here at D.E.L.T.A. Rescue with passion, in spite of a drop in donations in 2010,” Grillo explained. “She hasn’t let anything get her down. This special dog is inspiring me to work even harder to ensure our work here at D.E.L.T.A. Rescue continues, no matter what curve balls the economy is throwing us.”

For the rest of her life, Anna will remain at the 115-acre D.E.L.T.A. Rescue SuperSanctuary, where staff dedicate their time to providing loving care to Anna and 1,500 abandoned cats and dogs just like her. Once a cast-off, Anna now gives her caretakers the energy and stamina to keep going when things get tough.
