Warning to everyone in Lincoln from the Happy Paws dog training. Ref seasonal canine disease. And others have posted on the link ref the Lincoln area......please be careful with your pets. *quote* LINCOLN WARNING: please be extra vigilant with your dogs if you walk on West common, or the Golf-course at Carholme Rd. Three dogs have died with severe gastric symptoms and convulsions in the last 2 weeks. We know that the second dog picked up a raw bone the morning that she died, and that it looked as if it was probably a rabbit bone. The third, a greyhound, had also eaten a rabbit carcass. The Lincoln Veterinary Hospital dealt with one death and is the usual vet for one of the others (which was dealt with by the emergency out of hours vet in South Hykeham). Their advice is that the local press should be informed and all dog walkers warned to keep their dogs on leads and away from any dead animals on the common or surrounding areas such as the golf course. Please keep your dogs close to you if you walk on the common. The second dog to die was on an extension-lead when she picked up the bone. Can we ask you to take two carrier-bags/dustbin liners with you if you walk in these areas, especially Carholme Golf Course and West Common. If you come across a rabbit corpse, please pick it up and contact me on 07920018038. One of the Happy Paws team will come and pick it up from you. We need a toxicology report on any carcasses. If you cant bear to take it home, please at least throw it in one of the bins around the common so that no other dog is at risk. There is a gastric bug in Lincoln, as many of you know. Seasonal Canine Illness is also about, but the vomit with this is bile. Poisoning results in vomiting of the entire stomach contents and the dog will deteriorate within a couple of hours, with its organs shutting down. If your dog goes down hill after vomiting, seek immediately veterinary treatment.
