The statistics are sad, in the holidays when the house is full of guests, owners very often not to their Pets, and veterinary clinics received an enormous number of animals affected by the fault or negligence of their owners. Tipsy guests, serving vodka Canaries, and aquarium fish - salad, small children, narasayya cat in the snow maiden, is, unfortunately, not fiction, but a sad reality. Therefore, we must do everything to make the day not turned into a disaster for your pet.
What dangers the most likely?
1. Runaway and lost dogs and cats.
One lucky, and they quickly get perplexed and go in search of. Others are lost forever. Probably no need to tell what it means for your pet accustomed to live "full Board", suddenly appear on the street. 90% of these "those lost dogs" die. And those who are still found, - are frozen, traumatized and are in a state of deep stress. With birds it is even more difficult to pinpoint the departed Canary or budgie is practically zero.
What to do: to monitor an entrance door. To warn guests in advance that the house has a pet, and ask them to follow the pet. But, as you know, seven nurses the child without an eye. And if these nurses still good drink, it is unlikely that this Board will work. But if the company has at least one non-drinking people - there is a chance that any troubles with your pet will not happen. As an option you can put the animal in the enclosure or to give to overexposure to friends who are not planning big celebrations.
2. Cats that fell from the Windows and from the balcony. Smoking is evil. This will tell you not only the Ministry, but any cat to fly with the nth floor, if, of course, will survive. Smoky kitchen or bathroom may well be a gas chamber for birds and small rodents - rats, mice, hamsters, because in this case they become passive smokers. If the cage with the bird hanging high, it is worse than a bird whose cage is low. By poisoning the bird falls to the bottom of the cell and is, almost no feeding signs of life. If in time people realize this, the bird is often saved. If smoke for several days, the bird is doomed.
What to do: be vigilant. On the Windows of houses where cats must be installed grid. And each newly arrived guest under pain of immediate expulsion should be prohibited to tear off the corners of the grid, "to breathe" or disposed in the box end. It's better to let smoke in the stairwell. And the apartment must be regularly ventilated. You should also prohibit Smoking in rooms inhabited by birds and rodents.
3. Cats, polakomilis Christmas tinsel
. If your pussy chose not to "Whiskas" and the product of the Chinese consumer goods, to make the most out of the day.
What to do
: don't wait until the "will" itself, and immediately bear to the vet. In this case, the animal is able to save. Abdominal surgery on the gut, two weeks post-operative care and significant material costs - such is the price of the negligence of the owners. If "wait" - the rain can cut delicate lining of the intestine, sometimes even in several places. This can lead to peritonitis or bowel necrosis and painful death.
4. Drunken guests.
Animals are very sensitive to drunk people - especially dogs - and not so keen to talk with them. But the people - on the contrary. There are cases when after the third glass of guest climbs cuddle to master the bull or Doberman and meets reciprocity. Who is to blame? Certainly not a dog.
What to do
the hosts are obliged to follow and for the guests and the animals in the house, especially if we are talking about large dog breeds. A large number of strangers, and drunk people in the house - a huge stress for the animals. The smell of alcohol makes them aggressive, because all these stinking and strangely behaving biped are given territory. And any self-respecting dog this area will be protected.
5. Firecrackers, fireworks, firecrackers. New year's eve surroundings are voiced not only by the clink of champagne glasses, joyful greetings and fireworks, but sounds triggered car alarms, as well as heart-rending howl and bark of wild beasts, not carrying a sharp noise.
What to do
: animals will not explain what a New year. But if the owner knows that his dog or cat is afraid of the sharp noise and flashes of light - let it please refer to the vet for a sedative medications. Such tools is absolutely impossible to choose - there is a very big risk to calm the animal so that it will have to revive.
6. Injury from contact with a tree. Dogs and small rodents love to chew garlands. Well, if it's just a short circuit. Another danger tree falling on the animal.
What to do: do not leave animals alone with dressed Christmas tree. Don't decorate a Christmas tree with treats if your dog's sweet tooth, he'll reach for the candy as soon as you remain alone in the room. Turn off the lights, light the Christmas houses under the tree, if you leave the room.
Comment Svetlana Fire, veterinarian:
Most tragedies comes from inattention. Celebrating, people may forget to refill rats or Guinea pigs water. Accidentally open a door or window. Accidentally close the cat in the fridge, cupboard and so on. Often errors are quickly detected and the case comes to serious consequences, but during the holidays you need to be especially careful.
Plan your holiday in advance! Protect Windows, if the house is a cat. If possible, send a dog, cat, birds or rodents to parents or friends who are not expecting guests. If you have a house cat is on the tree should be only large toys. Rain and tinsel, unfortunately, is prohibited. Do not smoke in rooms where live rodents, birds, terrarium animals. And if something happens, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Do with animals as well as with small children can't go wrong!
