You know what I hate about the internet? Sometimes people will just lazily slap a “citation” on an infographic and trust that they’ll be completely taken at their word and nobody is going to dig deeper. And it works all the time. As an example, please look at this photo someone posted to dispute my assertion that garlic can be toxic to dogs.

Okay well, kind of a pain to manually type in that link but obviously I am going to look into this study that is confident enough to recommend people feeding their dogs garlic. So here’s the article, kind of a weird journal choice for this graphic to reference from but looks like a legit (though 20 year old) study

Funny thing is, almost immediately this article acknowledges that garlic can indeed be toxic to dogs. The health benefits mentioned in the graphic are referring to human health, not canine. This section is literally in the introduction of the article and one of the first things you read. Emphasis here is mine.

Crazy to me that someone would imply that this article encourages giving dogs garlic when it in fact immediately asserts that doing so has the potential to cause hemolytic anemia. The article does explore the anti-thrombotic effects of garlic components in dogs and humans, but by no means does it say that “contrary to misconceptions garlic is safe for pets”. It is dishonest to assert this in an infographic. However the creator of the image correctly assumed nobody would check, because the person who posted it took it as fact without further investigation.

I am begging you to be skeptical. Check your sources. Check their sources. Check my sources. Learn how to dig deeper and exercise that muscle as much as you can, especially on the internet. You will be absolutely shocked how much misinformation is casually stated and received as pure fact.

Pilling my dog

Me: shoves pill into the very back of her throat

Me: holds her muzzle closed and slightly tilted back, waiting until she swallows.

Me: lets go and watches suspiciously

Me: feeds her a treat to wash down the pill and for being a good girl

Dog: chews and swallows treat

Dog: spits out unswallowed and unchewed pill

Me: Not again!

What to Do If a Snake Bites Your Dog

Late summer and fall bring hunters and dogs to the field, and more chances for an encounter with a venomous snake. Here’s your bite plan.

by T. Edward Nickens

We’re entering a time of year when sporting dogs and venomous snakes are most likely to be in each other’s face, says Dr. Chris Jenkins, a biologist and CEO of the Orianne Society, a science-based reptile and amphibian conservation group. Encounters with “piz’nous serpents,” as one old fellow once described them to me, can take place any time of the year in the South, Jenkins says, but late summer and fall is all about the overlap of time and space. Hunting dogs are in the woods and swamps. Rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins, and coral snakes are still active. When the latter takes offense at the former, dog owners need to have a plan. Jenkins is an avid hunter who’s dealt with his own snakebit dog, so he comes to the issue with some unfortunate serpent cred...

Do you think that Medicine Pocket would talk to their puppies/doggies with a different voice? Like how some people would talk to their pets in a higher pitched voice or smth?

I remember watching this video a long time ago where someone explains how they only talk to their pet in a gremlin voice, and thinking back on it now , I feel like it’s kinda Medpoc coded. People just think that they’ve finally lost it when hearing it out of context.

I need your opinion on this.

👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 DISRESPECT 👏 THE 👏 PUPS 👏

One of the hardest things about working in a veterinary ER is delivering bad news. I feel like at least once a shift someone is blindsided by their pet being diagnosed with a condition they’ve never heard of before. In many cases this is unavoidable but I really feel that some of the most common critical emergencies I see would be easier for owners to process if they had prior knowledge about the illness.

The following infographic is far from a comprehensive list and truthfully I have a LOT more to say about diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of each of these conditions. However, this image shows just a few of the major points that I wish owners had been able to prepare for prior to hearing about them in the ER. Some of these conditions are preventable and some are not but they all require an owner to make difficult decisions in a crisis situation. If your pet fits into one of these categories, please just do a quick google about the condition, and maybe discuss with your vet signs that you can watch for at home.
