All the Creatures

Here is a handy page for you to bookmark. It is the FDA’s list of pet foods and livestock feeds that have been recalled by the manufacturers due to contamination or having an ingredient added that should not be in the food.

FDA recall page for livestock and pet feeds

The page is always being updated and the list is fairly long. Protect your pets and keep an eye on the products you feed them or expose them to.

It is time for their annual vaccines and I had to pile my dogs into the car for their trip to the vets office. They are pretty good about the visit, the dogs that is. They never seem to realize that they only take a trip in the car to see the vet, although they do go in the car for trips to the coast.

At the vets office they never seem to be bothered by the shots. I guess that is because the vet tech gives them lots of treats before and after the event. The vet tech I had last time we were there had on a pretty scrub top with horses all over it. I asked her where she got it and told me of a discount scrubs place in town. I made a mental note to check the place out, but never did, maybe one day……..

After we got back home, it was a day of fetch and fun in the backyard.

Do you ever suspect that your pet could have trouble seeing? I know that one year my dog tried to chase a firework on the ground and would see something that was not there for days after the occurrance. Even years later I have noticed that he will growl at me if he sees me at a greater distance than 150 feet. He just does not recognize me unless I am closer to him than that. I wonder if it was that incident with the firework years before or is it now age related.

Since we live on and maintain country property, we have a welder and welding supplies. These are kept and used in the shop area of the barn. When my husband welds, I make sure that all of the animals are out of the barn so that they cannot look at the arc. We both know the dangers of blindness due to welding and take precautions to protect our animals.

I do wish that people would be aware of eyesight dangers to pets and animals. It is very rare that animals with eyesight damage are treated unless they are a highly prized show animal or valuable breeding stock in a zoo. Most are undiagnosed.
