While everyone is eager to get outside including our pets be cautious of the hazards out in this big world. Animals love to chase things and that can cause some trouble. If you live close to a busy road be aware of the dangers involved with your pet being out. If possible leash walk or put in an electric fence. They also have fences out that will keep cats inside your yard and safe from the dangers of traffic. Also animals eating decaying wildlife can be a potential hazard for parasites and other intestinal problems. Enjoy the outdoors but take a little time to think about what can happen to your pets. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Take care

If anyone has a question about the livestock animals I have listed above please feel free to ask me. I have knowledege in these animals. I work for a vet office and I answer a lot of questions people call about and I answer them. Of course there are some questions I can’t answer but I can always ask the Dr. I work for and get an answer.

Some animals do not do well when left alone. This could be for a couple of minutes to a couple of hours. They may show anxiety when left alone by destroying things in the home they normally wouldn’t bother if someone was with them. Some ideas to make your pet feel like someone is with them while you are away is to make the home feel like someone is there. Keep a TV or radio on so the house is not dead silent. Have a neighbor stop in every couple of hours if possible. If your pet does not do well with any of the suggestions, you may have to use a crate while you are away so that your house is not being destroyed. You may also call your veterinarian and ask about medications that may help with anxiety as well.
