Dental Disease in Your Pet
Just like people our pets need to have good oral care to keep the teeth and gums healthy throughout their life.
Dental disease affects many cats and dogs causing pain, bad breath, a build up of yellow tartar, inflamed gums (gingivitis), bleeding gums, tooth loss, loss of appetite, grumpy behaviour and dribbling. If left untreated, the bacteria and toxins produced by dental disease can lead to kidney, liver and heart disease.

Mammary gland tumors are common in unspeyed bitches. Female dogs that have been spayed before their first heat cycle rarely acquire breast caner. Statistics show that if a female dog is speyed after her first heat cycle but before her second cycle, her potential to develop mammary tumors is greater than the dog that was speyed prior to a heat cycle. The more heats a dog has, the higher chance the dog has to developing mammary tumors.

Urinary incontinence is an involuntary loss in the ability to control urine. It occurs in dogs of both sexes and of all ages. There is no 100% cure for the condition, but treatments are available to manage the symptoms. Dogs will leak or dribble urine, often while sleeping and they awake to wet spots. They are often unaware of the accident. Female dogs are more commonly affected, and in more than 20% of cases the symptoms appear after the female has been spayed. Older dogs tend to develop incontinence as part of general aging, regardless of breed or sex.

Feeding bones to your dog can be potentially dangerous. Small bones like chicken bones, lamb, steak and pork bones are the worst as they are easily chewed into sharp splinters. These splinters and other bone fragments can lodge in the GI tract and cause life threatening lacerations, obstructions and perforations. Symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhoea, gut pain, reluctance to eat, and lethargy. If your dog exhibits any of the above signs after being fed bones it is important to seek veterinary attention immediately.
