VOMIT COLOR AND CONSISTENCY Various illnesses can lead to vomiting, making it challenging to identify the exact cause. Vomit comes in different colors, potentially revealing the cause. Different colors on the vomit chart indicate varying levels of concern. 🟡Yellow Normal vomit color, often containing bile due to an empty stomach. Can appear foamy or liquid. 🟢Green Might be due to eating grass or increased bile in the stomach. ⚪White Contains digested food, especially if the dog hasn't eaten for a while. White foam indicates an empty stomach with saliva and liquid. ⚫Black Could result from ingesting similar-colored substances or digested blood due to toxins or gut bleeding. Requires urgent veterinary attention. 🔴Red Indicates blood presence, possibly due to intestinal bleeding, toxin ingestion, or clotting issues. 🟤Brown Reflects the color of ingested food, often seen with dog food and kibble. 🟠Orange Could mean an empty stomach with bile that's slightly tinted The consistency and content of the vomit might help understand why they’re vomiting and when to seek help. 🚨Chunky Contains recently consumed food, either fully or partially digested. 🚨Liquid Empty stomach or acid-related issues, like indigestion or reflux. Yellow liquid suggests bile. 🚨Foamy Formed when excess saliva mixes with stomach contents, often clear or white. 🚨Foreign Objects Items like toys or rocks being vomited signal the body's rejection of non-digestible items, usually a concerning situation.

Brachycephalic Sufferers 🐾 Did you know that dogs will not open their mouth to breathe when asleep if they have nasal obstruction? Dogs can breathe through either the oral cavity or nasal cavity when they are awake. However, they are obligate nasal breathers when asleep. Therefore, if their nose is blocked, dogs will wake up, open their mouth to breathe and subsequently go back to sleep. Obstruction within any part of the nasal airway (i.e. from the external nostrils to the end of the nasopharynx) can lead to interrupted sleep or sleep apnoea in dogs. Affected dogs will often wake up multiple times during their sleep, and they may sleep in certain positions that will open up the nasal airway to relieve the obstruction. Some dogs may hold a toy in their mouth when asleep so that they can breathe through their mouth. Nasal airway obstruction can result from many conditions, not just BOAS, however brachycephalic patients are often more severely affected. Long-term, interrupted sleep due to nasal obstruction causes fatigue and a reduced quality of life. Severe airflow obstruction can also be life-threatening. If your dog shows any of the above signs frequently, investigation into the cause of obstruction is recommended. #drthvet #freeveterinaryadvice #veterinary #responsiblepetownership #responsiblepetbreeding #dog #dogs #ObligateNasalBreather #SleepApnoea #InterruptedSleep #BOAS #Brachycephalicdogs #SleepDisorderedBreathing #NasalCongestion

💞Tips from @eukanuba_sa to keep your pet fit during lock down; 🐕 Home exercise #1: Burpees. Issue a “sit” command, followed by a “lay” command, then hold a treat high while issuing a “jump” command. After your dog successfully gets the treat, repeat the sequence until it sticks. Once they're trained, do 3 sets of ten (you included). #ACTIVanywhere #ThatsAEukanubaDog #drthvet #stayathome #fitathome #keepyourpetfit #covi̇d_19 #homeworkout #responsiblepetowner #washyourhands #freeveterinaryadvice #dog #dogs #burpeeschallenge #burpeesfordogs #gooddog #begratefuleveryday

SAFE Home Disinfectant for you and your pets. 😷 ‼️NOT ALL PRODUCTS ARE CREATED EQUAL‼️ Ask your vet about a safe disinfectant for your home - some common disinfectants can be highly irritant & even toxic to animals. Especially birds, cats & exotic pets. 🦎 As a vet I recommend the F10 product range; and they have plenty of options available, from aerosol sprays to hand gels you can use in your own home. Ask your vet for recommendations and ensure you use them appropriately. #drthvet #f10products #safetyfirst #safeforpets #safeforhumansandpets #coronavirus #covid_19 #selfisolationsupport #responsiblepetownership #responsiblepetowner #animalsafety #washyourhands #getthekidsinvolved #basichygiene #dog #cat #bird #exoticpets #horse #freeveterinaryadvice #askyourvet #askyourveterinarian #beprepared #beresponsible #goodluck 🚫🦠

🦷Pet Dental Health 🦷 Should you brush your pet's teeth ? YES ! February month is dental health awareness month; Did you know periodontal disease (plaque, halitosis, gingivitis etc) can already be present from 2 years of age? The best defense an delay of onset is daily brushing. Here's how (video's at the end 🐩🐈): 1. Start at a young age. 2. Always, ALWAYS, use animal toothpaste or gel only. 3. Incorporate innovative ideas like the "bristle brushing stick" chew toy. 4. Treat with dental treats often - I always recommend "Greenies" for both dogs & cats. 5. Consider dental diets to help especially in animals with advanced problems at a young age. 6. Water supplements to delay onset of plaque but ideally follow your vet's recommendation. 7. Don't let the need for general anaesthetic deter the treatment if required. Talk to your vet early !

Jan = WALK your pet month It's middle January and most of our new year's resolutions are most likely out the door already. However, we have an easy way to keep some of our attempts to live a healthier life - by simply taking our dogs on regular walks. Australia passed a law recently where owners are fined if there animals don't get a least 30min of exercise every day which goes to show the importance of animal health requirements. Other countries will most likely follow this trend soon. Animal obesity is simply cruel - and can be quite challenging to overcome. (It is just as devastating to over feed a pet then to let it starve !)Yet it can be simple to prevent by daily exercise and by feeding them appropriately. Here's a video about how one such case overcame the challenge by incorporating hydrotherapy. Speak to your vet today about your animals weight, age and concerns, as well as what measures you can take to help. And simply take them for a 30min walk every day ... it will do you and your dog a world of good ! https://edition.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/01/09/dog-weight-loss-water-therapy-pkg-vpx.ktmf/video/playlists/stories-worth-watching/ #drthvet #januaryiswalkyourdogmonth #useharnessesinstead #pet #petobesity #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #arthritis #shorterlifespan #obesitycanbeprevented #obesitycanbebeaten #walk #dailywalk #walkforyourhealth #responsiblepetowner #responsiblepetownership #freeveterinaryadvice #veterinary #lovetowalkmydog #dog #dogs

⛔️ Xylitol Why is xylitol so dangerous for dogs and cats? Ingestion of xylitol primarily affects insulin release throughout the body. Insulin causes an increase of glucose (blood sugar) uptake into the liver, muscle, and fat cells resulting in decreasing blood glucose levels. Xylitol is perfectly safe for people, but because of different metabolisms, it can be fatal for dogs and cats.

World Rabies Awareness Day #worldrabiesday2019 REMEMBER!! World Rabies Day is celebrated on 28 September each year. Rabies remains a major concern worldwide, killing tens of thousands of people every year. World Rabies Day, launched in 2007, aims to raise awareness about the public health impact of human and animal rabies. September 28th 2019 will be the 13th World Rabies Day, and this year’s theme focuses on vaccination, the foundation of all rabies control efforts. The theme, Rabies: Vaccinate to Eliminate, can be used to raise awareness at many levels, for example – To ensure that dogs are kept vaccinated - as a reminder to dog owners, animal health professionals and local governments To help people in need to seek and obtain PEP – through human health professionals and educators To commit to the 2030 goal of eliminating rabies deaths – with national governments putting resources into rabies elimination What can YOU do? Vaccinate your animals and keep them away from wildlife that can spread the disease. Rabies is 100% preventable. Remember, your local veterinarian plays a key role in controlling rabies. Let’s ALL Vaccinate to Eliminate!!

🐈Ear Mites in Cats🐈 Look what we found today in a cat's ears !!! These nasty little blood suckers can cause severe ear inflammation and infection. A common sign is dirty ears with a dark discharge (basically digested blood aka mite poop). If you notice your cat has dirty ears or your cat is constantly flicking its ears - see the vet asap. for a proper diagnosis. Prevention and treatment these days are quite simple and very effective. #drthvet #earmites #cats #freevetadvice #freeveterinaryadvice #responsiblepetowner #responsiblepetownership #feline #otodectes #vetvideo
