It’s that time of year again…
Warm weather can bring dangerous blue-green algae blooms to our lakes, rivers, and ponds. These toxins can be deadly to pets, especially dogs who love to swim, drink, or even lick algae off their fur.

⚠️ Symptoms of Blue-Green Algae Poisoning in Pets:
• Vomiting & diarrhea
• Weakness or collapse
• Drooling
• Seizures or tremors
• Difficulty breathing

👉 If you suspect your pet has been exposed, seek veterinary care immediately – do not wait for symptoms to worsen.

✅ Prevention Tips:
• Keep pets away from water that looks discolored, foamy, or has a pea-soup green appearance.
• Don’t let pets drink or swim in water with visible algae.
• Rinse your pet off immediately if they do come in contact.

Your pet’s safety is our priority 💙🐾
If you have any concerns, call us at Eagle River Animal Hospital.

📍 Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors responsibly!

At Eagle River Animal Hospital, we care deeply about the safety of your furry family members. House fires can happen unexpectedly—being prepared could save your pet’s life.

Here are a few fire safety tips for pet owners:

🚫 Eliminate Hazards

🧯 Be Prepared
• Place pet alert window clings with the number and type of pets inside.
• Keep collars on pets and leashes by the door for quick access.
• Know your pet’s hiding spots—this will help firefighters locate them fast.

📦 Create a Pet Emergency Kit
Include food, water, medication, a copy of vet records, and comfort items.

🚨 Mushroom Alert in Eagle River — Is Your Dog at Risk? 🍄🐾

With warm, damp weather, wild mushrooms are popping up everywhere—yards, trails, and parks. While some may look harmless, even one toxic mushroom can cause serious illness or be fatal.

🧐 Watch for these signs of mushroom toxicity:
• Vomiting, diarrhea, or drooling
• Lethargy, weakness, or wobbliness
• Abdominal pain or loss of appetite    
• Tremors, seizures, or ataxia (stumbling/uncoordinated movement) 
• Jaundice (yellow eyes, gums, or skin) — indicates possible liver damage ()
• Increased drinking/urination (kidney involvement), rapid heart/respiratory changes 

🆘 What to do if you suspect ingestion:
1. Call Eagle River Animal Hospital ASAP — don’t wait for symptoms. Every minute counts! 
2. Bring a sample or photo of the mushroom (use a damp paper towel, paper bag—not plastic) 
3. At the clinic, we can induce vomiting (if recent), administer activated charcoal, start IV fluids, and run blood tests to monitor liver and kidney function 
4. Treatment may also include medications for seizures, tremors, gastrointestinal support, and liver protection 

⚠️ Prevention Tips:
• Assume all wild mushrooms are toxic
• Check and remove mushrooms from your yard daily
• Keep dogs leashed on wet, fungal-prone trails

Let’s protect our four-legged pals this mushroom season. Have you spotted any in your yard? Share your pics—or tag us on your safe hikes!
