The show’s design is to educate guardians, thereby reducing unnecessary surrenders and the ultimate euthanasia of 5 million cats and dogs yearly, simply because they’re homeless.

Stolen Selle Francais Stallion

STOLEN SELLE FRANCAIS STALLION
ALERT!

We really need your help. Last night, 9/30/06, a friend of mine's black stallion was stolen out of her pasture in Canton, GA. He is a 17.3 HH Selle Francais stallion. He is 19 years old and 1500lbs. He has no distinguishing marks as he is pure black. However, his muzzle and under his flanks may appear brown due to sun bleaching. He also shivers with his hind legs when you try to pick them up. Attached are two pictures of him. Please pass this information on to as many friends as you can as we are desperate to have him home again. Anyone who has information about this horse, please notify the Cherokee County Police Department in Canton GA @ 770-844-6777, and ask for Deputy McNeal and refer to the case # 06-92843. We really appreciate your help and support.

German Shephard/ Black Lab Mix Puppy

A client e-mailed the following to me. We have a neighbor boy that bought a German Shephard/Black Lab mix about 3 weeks ago. He bought him from a lady in Kent who needed to find him a new home because she would not be home much. This puppy is about 4 months old (I’m guessing). The boy has since decided he doesn’t like him because he bites. This kid doesn’t have a clue on how to take care of a puppy. So because of this he built him a pen outside and this is where he stays 24/7. They never play with him or take him for walks and he doesn’t have any toys to chew on or play with. It’s very sad and I’m trying to find him a good home. He hardly ever barks except when the kids are in the back yard playing. My husband took him on a walk last week and he was so good. He was very excited to be out of his pen. We have asked 2 other times to take him for a walk but the kid (15 year old) won’t let us. He said he would sell the dog to us (can’t because we have 5 cats). There is some tension between us because I am so disgusted with him. I will put up the money for him if I can find him a good home. Money talks with this kid so I am pretty sure he would let me have him.
He’s all black with German S. type hair and floppy ears. He really is cute and he really is a good boy. He just needs someone who knows what they are doing and give him love, and I’m sure the biting will stop. He’s not doing it in an aggressive manner, just play.
I hoping you might know someone that may be interested in this little guy. He deserves better.

This puppy lives in the Kent area of Washington state. If you are interested in the puppy, please contact Martha@talkwithyouranimals.com. He needs a home full of love.

Sugar Substitute

May Be Dangerous to Dogs

(SCHAUMBURG, Ill.) September 29, 2006—If you think it’s no big deal that your dog just ate some sugar-free gum or a cookie or two, think again. You may want to make an immediate trip to your veterinarian. While veterinarians have suspected that the sugar substitute xylitol can make dogs sick, there is now further clinical evidence of an association between the product and possible liver failure in canines.

A clinical report appearing in the Oct. 1 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA) discusses the sometimes fatal conditions developed by dogs that have ingested xylitol. Xylitol, a sweetener found in many sugar-free chewing gums, candies, baked goods and toothpastes, is a naturally occurring product, but it may have far-reaching negative health effects on dogs.
While not all pets become ill after eating xylitol, veterinarian Sharon Gwaltney-Brant said the public – and especially dog owners – needs to be aware of the potential dangers. She added that pet owners should make sure that products containing xylitol are kept away from dogs. If an owner suspects that their dog has eaten products containing xylitol, they should contact their veterinarian immediately.

In the report, Drs. Dunayer and Gwaltney-Brant, staff members at the Animal Poison Control Center of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Urbana, Ill., used the Control Center’s database to gather information on eight dogs that were treated between 2003 and 2005 after eating products containing xylitol. Each dog became ill, and while three of the dogs survived, five of the pets either died or had to be euthanized because of liver failure possibly stemming from xylitol ingestion. Dr. Gwaltney-Brant said three other dogs that ingested xylitol after the study was conducted either died or had to be euthanized after becoming ill. All three, Dr. Gwaltney-Brant said, had liver failure.

Dr. Gwaltney-Brant described the potential negative xylitol effects on dogs as a “species difference.” “People only absorb a certain percentage of it,” she said. “The body doesn’t even notice it. However, in dogs, xylitol triggers significant insulin release, which drops the blood sugar. It is definitely a species difference. People aren’t in danger from sugar-free gum; dogs are.” There is no information on whether severe xylitol poisoning has occurred in cats, Dr. Gwaltney-Brant said. “If we get exposures, we have blood sugar checked as a precaution,” she said.

Dogs, however, are potentially at risk. And while further studies need to be conducted to definitively establish a cause-and-effect relationship between xylitol ingestion by dogs and liver damage and bleeding disorders, Dr. Gwaltney-Brant hopes the message gets out.

The number of xylitol-related pet poisonings is on the rise, according to Dr. Gwaltney-Brant, partly because of increased awareness, but more so because xylitol is being used in more products. The incidence of reported xylitol poisonings climbed from 70 in 2004 to 170 in 2005. As of August, the Poison Control Center reported 114 cases of xylitol poisoning this year.
