Snake Bites
It’s every dog owner’s fear: their furry best friend being bitten by a snake and running away, leaving you frantically searching for the culprit. The first thing to do if this happens is to get all other dogs under control to prevent them from being at risk of a snake bite. However, identifying the snake is not necessary when it comes to getting your dog veterinary help. If your dog displays symptoms of envenomation, it’s essential to seek emergency services regardless of which type of pit viper was the culprit. Fortunately, all pit viper bites are treated the same way with the same antivenom. As a dog owner, it’s important to know that quick action can save your pet’s life should they ever fall victim to a snake bite.
Rattle and Cottonmouths snake bites can be a frightening experience, with different signs to look for and potentially different treatment plans depending on the severity of the bite.

According to Pet Poison Helpline for Cats
- Household Cleaner
- Pyrethroid-based Insecticides
- Rodenticides
The two other main types of bait commonly seen today are anticoagulant rodenticides (cause severe bleeding and death) and the cholecaliferol/vitamin D type rodenticides (cause elevated calcium and phosphorous levels in the blood and kidney failure). - Dewormers
Again these include the ivermectins (just like dogs) and pyrantel dewormers that are not labeled for cats. - Human medication
Antidepressant class of drugs, but especially Effexor - Insoluble Oxalate Plants and Asiatic Lily
Philodendron, Dumbcane, Pothos, Elephant Ears and Peace Lilies are a few of the frequent offenders in this class of plants. - Essential Oils
Cats are so, so very sensitive to essential oils. Many oils, including liquid potpourri (very common exposure around the holidays), Tea Tree Oil or Melaleuca, Oil of Wintergreen, Citrus Oils, Pine Oils, Peppermint Oils and Cinnamon Oils are a few, but the list is a long, long one when it comes to the oils that we have seen concerns with in cats. - Glow Sticks
