WATER INTOXICATION IN DOGS

July 4, 2018

Does your dog like to play in the water? Too much of a good thing can be
dangerous, so look out for water intoxication!

Water intoxication, also known as hyponatremia is a relatively rare but
potentially fatal condition that is most commonly seen in dogs that love to play
in the water. Water games that involve retrieving items or diving into pools to
catch toys can cause them to ingest large quantities of water very quickly. It
can also happen when they “catch” pressurized water from sprinklers or hoses.

Excessive amounts of water cause the body to lose sodium. The body’s cells begin
to fill with water and swell. If the cells in the brain swell, it can affect the
central nervous system which can be fatal.

Symptoms include:

 * loss of coordination
 * lethargy
 * bloating
 * vomiting
 * glazed eyes
 * excessive salivation
 * difficulty breathing
 * seizures
 * coma

Water intoxication progresses quickly so if your pet has been playing in the
water and begins to show any of the signs mentioned above, it’s crucial to seek
veterinary care immediately to save your dog’s life.

Treatment of water intoxication typically includes IV delivery of electrolytes,
diuretics and drugs to reduce brain swelling. With aggressive veterinary care,
some dogs are able to recover, but sadly, many do not.

It’s important to closely watch dogs that are very active in water and ensure
they take regular breaks in between playing. Be especially careful on days when
the water is rough. If your dog empties their water bowl after playing hard or
exercise, ensure they are rested before refilling the bowl.

Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of water intoxication to keep your furry
family member safe!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 204-269-8162 or by
email at info@centennialanimalhospital.com.

HOW TO HELP INJURED AND ORPHANED WILD ANIMALS

Below are a few suggestions should you come across injured or orphaned
wildlife.  First, you need to determine if the wild animal is indeed injured or
abandoned without putting yourself in harm’s way. Try not to have too much
contact with the animal or to disturb the surroundings. If you are unsure, it is
best that you leave it be and call a wildlife specialist to notify them about
the animal and its location. Certain animals like rabbits and deer often leave
their young alone for long periods throughout the day. If it appears healthy and
well, do not disturb the animal.
