Preventing A Pet Poisoning On Valentine\u2019s Day"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"left\" src=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/AllPets_iStock_000032185210_Medium-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"AllPets_iStock_000032185210_Medium\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>For a holiday that\u2019s all about love, Valentine\u2019s Day can also be about inadvertently exposing your pet to dangerous chemical compounds. Not at all romantic or dreamy, a pet poisoning can have dire consequences. But if you remain vigilant and invite your pet to play or snuggle (instead of check out your candy stash), the love fest can stay on schedule.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Culprit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Already fully stocked on shelves across America, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates present the most significant risk to your pet. Your pet is probably curious about anything you bring through the front door, but a red or pink, shiny box is even more enticing. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chocolate\u2019s Toxicity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chocolate not only contains dangerous levels of caffeine, but a compound known as theobromine, as well. Various types of chocolate have different amounts of both, but dark, cocoa powder, or baking chocolate having the highest levels. Your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/dog\/chocolate-toxicity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pet&#8217;s weight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ngm.nationalgeographic.com\/2007\/10\/pets\/chocolate-chart-interactive\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">amount<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of chocolate eaten will determine the course of pet poisoning. For example, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/pet-health\/puppy-kitten-care.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">puppy or kitten<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may have different symptoms from an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/pet-health\/pet-wellness.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adult<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/pet-health\/senior-pet-care.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">senior pet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> immediately if you suspect a pet poisoning, as your pet may require life-saving <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emergency care<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red Flags And Symptoms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each pet poisoning is unique to the pet\u2019s age, size, weight, and age. The following symptoms should never be ignored:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restlessness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drooling excessively<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rapid heart rate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased respiration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seizures or tremors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unconsciousness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xylitol and Pet Poisoning<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While chocolate poses significant risk to your pet, there is another common culprit around Valentine\u2019s Day: Xylitol (yes, it is as scary as it sounds).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Found in all manner of baked goods, gum or candy, and even human <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/veterinary-services\/pet-dental-care.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">toothpaste<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this sugar substitute is toxic to your pet. Responsible for triggering a severe drop in blood sugar levels (also known as hypoglycemia), Xylitol pet poisoning can result in liver failure. The symptoms are similar to those prompted by chocolate consumption, but also include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weakness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of coordination <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lethargy or depression<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, if you notice changes in your pet\u2019s behavior, please <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Pet poisoning occurs very quickly and can have serious long-term effects.

Remember not to bring anything inside your home that may be dangerous to consume, and a sa general rule, don\u2019t let your pet anywhere near your bouquet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show The Love<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your pet deserves your love and attention on Valentine\u2019s Day. Take the time to choose a new toy or collar for him or her, or go ahead and make a catnip mouse or DIY healthy treat. It\u2019s also a wonderful opportunity to snuggle or play more. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share The Love<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, you may show your love for all pets by donating toys, bedding, food, or similar donation to our local shelter or rescue. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy And Safe<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/about-us\/veterinarians-staff.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our veterinarians and staff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Volunteer Veterinary Hospital wish you and your four-legged sweetheart (cat, dog, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volvethosp.com\/pet-health\/small-mammals-pocket-pets.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small mammal, or pocket pet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), a happy and safe Valentine\u2019s Day!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a holiday that\u2019s all about love, Valentine\u2019s Day can also be about inadvertently exposing your pet to dangerous chemical compounds.
