[NAGDU] FW: Should You Learn CPR for Your Pet?

Fri Oct 8 12:16:24 UTC 2021

This little email from a large vet hospital in New York City contains a theory on why grapes sometimes are dangerous and sometimes not, a canned dogfood recall, and advice on learning CPR for animals.  Spoiler:  they say No, just get the dog to the vet ASAP.

THE PREMIER RESOURCE FOR PET HEALTH INFORMATION

 <https://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=1053994797&msgid=2247973&act=C0G9&c=425849&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amcny.org%2Fpet_health_library%2Fpoisoning%2F&cf=64378&v=e9908e4fb5ec0cc9cd7341f2ee1aad8ed21ea81cf256ae852c359cbe0151fbcb> 

Veterinarians have known for years that grapes and raisins are dangerous for dogs, but the reason has remained a mystery. Equally baffling is why some dogs have eaten the fruit without incident while others suffered effects as serious as kidney failure.

A new theory by veterinarians from the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) may shed some light on the situation. The APCC veterinarians suggest that it is the tartaric acid in grapes that makes the fruit toxic to dogs.

They made their discovery while investigating a case of a dog who became sick after eating homemade playdough. The dog’s signs didn’t match those usually caused by salt in playdough, so they asked for the recipe. They found that the playdough contained cream of tartar, which is a byproduct of tartaric acid.

Tartaric acid is also found in grapes and raisins, and the concentration varies depending on the type of grape, growing conditions, and ripeness. That may explain why grapes sometimes cause no problems and other times are deadly.

Should You Learn to Perform CPR for Your Pet?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency first-aid technique that sustains blood flow to the brain and heart in the event of cardiac arrest. Unlike humans, however, pets do not have heart attacks. When a pet suffers a cardiac arrest, it is because they have a serious systematic illness. In addition, CPR in pets has very different risks and considerations than CPR in humans. All that being said, are there scenarios where pet owners should learn or perform CPR on their pet? Check out our blog at the link below to learn more.
