Emergency medical cat care at your fingertips

By Dr. Jessica Vogelsang
From The Daily Cat

We've all been there: It's midnight, and your cat is acting strange. Then it vomits. You watch your pet, wondering if you need to bundle it into the carrier and incur a $100 emergency vet bill to be told your cat is probably fine, or that you should wait until the morning and take your chances on not giving your pet immediate attention.

Friends of Scottsboro Animal Shelter posted this handsome guy's picture on Facebook Wednesday. They say he is finally off of his 10 days stray hold, which means he's available for adoption. A sponsor stepped up to cover his vetting expense, so his adoption fee is only $10. He is about 1-2 years old, male, and weighs about 50 pounds. Contact Scottsboro Animal Shelter for more information

Pet Safety for the 4th of July

Submitted by Lonnie Liebner, Community Web Producer

The Fourth of July is meant to be a celebration, but with all the festivities, it's important to be prepared and take safety precautions for yourself, but also for your four-legged friends.

Here are some safety tips from the doctors and staff at BluePearl Veterinary Partners.

BluePearl vets say prevention is always the best form of first aid. But if something does happen and your pet is burned or injured, here are some first aid tips you need to know:

• First, never put any types of cream, ointment, butter or margarine on your pet’s burn. These can introduce bacteria and other harmful substances into the burned area.

• If the burn is mild, cool the area as soon as possible with cool water and contact your veterinarian. Never use ice as ice increases the chance of hypothermia.
