Holiday Health Hazards For Pets
This information is not meant to be a
substitute for veterinary care. Always
follow the instructions provided by your
veterinarian.
The holiday season brings excitement
and commotion associated with
shopping, final exams, travel, and other
seasonal preparations. In all the
activities of the season our beloved pets
may be exposed to hazards less
commonly found other times of the year.
As homes fill with holiday spirit, pets
may be intrigued by the new sites,
smells and tastes. The following are
some of the most common health
concerns for your pet during the
holidays. If you have specific questions
regarding any pet health concern please
contact your veterinarian.
Holiday Lights
Decorative lights are another attraction
for pets to chew on. Both indoor and
outdoor lights should be carefully
examined to ensure safety for your
household pets. Electrical shock may
occur from defective cords as well as
from pets chewing on cords. Check
cords for any signs of bite marks, loose
or frayed wires, proximity to the tree's
water supply or evidence of short
circuits. Use grounded "3-prong"
extension cords and strictly follow
manufacturer's guidelines for light
usage.
Electrical shock can cause burns,
difficulty breathing, abnormal heart
rhythm, loss of consciousness, and
death. Call a veterinarian immediately if
your pet has been injured by electrical

if begun soon after the shock.

decorations. Child gates can be used
across doorways to keep your pet away
from the Christmas tree and decorations
at times they cannot be watched.
Overindulgence
Well-intentioned family and friends
may share holiday foods with pets
causing the pet to develop a stomach
upset or worse, pancreatitis
(inflammation of the pancreas) which
can be caused by eating fatty foods. To
control excessive food intake by your
pets and meet your guests' desires to
feed the pets, dole out the treats your
pets would normally receive and let
your guests "treat" the pets. If you want
to get festive, mix some of your pet's
regular food with water to make a
"dough" and roll out and cut into festive
shapes, then bake until crunchy.
Make sure pets are given some
"personal space" if they want to get
away from the commotion.
Try to spend a little extra "quality time"
with your pet to assure them they have
not been forgotten.
Chocolate
What would the holidays be without
boxes of chocolate and warm cocoa in
front of the fire? However, chocolate
can be toxic or even fatal to dogs and
cats. Chocolate may be mistakenly
given to pets as treats and may be
irresistible to the curious canine.
Chocolate poisoning occurs most
frequently in dogs but other species are
also susceptible.
Poinsettias & Mistletoe
Poinsettias fill homes with color during
the holidays. Poinsettias have received
bad publicity in the past whereas in fact,
poinsettias are not very toxic to pets.
They do contain a milky sap that can
irritate the mouth but if signs develop
they are usually mild.
Mistletoe can be very toxic to animals
and you should seek veterinary
consultation immediately if your pet has
potentially ingested any part of the
plant. Mistletoe can cause vomiting,
severe diarrhea, difficult breathing,
shock and death within hours of
ingestion.
There are many species of Holly (genus
Ilex) Berries and leaves can be a
problem although signs of poisonings
are generally mild, and include
vomiting, belly pain, and diarrhea.

What's the rush? - By Jill Blankenship
Armbrust Acres is a lovely
neighborhood filled with families of all
ages from brand-new families to retirees
welcoming grandchildren. An ideal
place to raise children. Well, almost
perfect.
I live with my family on Oak Street, one
of the main thoroughfares through our
neighborhood and since moving in, I
have developed a paranoia about my
children getting anywhere closer than
sidewalk distance to the road. Why?
Because although the posted speed limit
is 25 mph, people whiz by my house all
day long, some fast enough to “catch air”
on the speed bump down the road from
my house.
Yes, Oak Street is a main road into the
neighborhood, and yes, some of that
traffic is due to people taking a shortcut
through the neighborhood, but I have
seen people who live, work, or visit our
neighborhood whiz by too. And it's not
only Oak Street. Ever walk by the park in
the evenings? I have seen people speed
by there as well, driving as fast as cars do
on Center.
the longer it takes you to stop.
If my son chases after a ball in the street
(a recurring nightmare-thanks speeders),
and you see him from my next-door
neighbor's driveway, you should be able
to stop without hitting him if you are
going the speed limit. At 45 mph, you
would be able to stop – one house down
from ours. At 60 mph, you would stop,
finally, two doors down. Just going 45
mph down our road is a danger to our
kids, our pets, our friends. And the
stopping distances I cited are for cars
