Potentially dangerous...Fleas and Ticks





The risks to your pets...and you

Beyond causing serious discomfort, fleas and ticks can carry diseases dangerous to both you and your pets. Fleas can carry tapeworm larvae, which your pet can ingest. In cats, in particular, fleas can carry an organism called Bartonella henselae, which is one of the causes of cat scratch disease in humans.

Ticks can transmit such serious diseases as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever for both you and your pets.

Many pets are also allergic to flea bites. A single flea bite can cause an intense allergic reaction in both humans and pets. When the skin is irritated or inflamed it can also become infected with bacteria or others pathogens making the problem worse. Severe infestations will cause anemia, lowering your pets immune system and making them vulnerable to various illnesses.

Ticks can be a particular problem when present in large numbers or when they attach themselves to sensitive areas like inside the ears or near an eye.

Thankfully we have the availability of many tools in our arsenal to keep us all safe from fleas and ticks. They are applied topically or in pill form on a monthly basis. Many vets recommend year round treatment for best results. A single female flea can lay as many as 30 eggs a day. The eggs then fall and land on furniture and carpets and can lay dormant for up to 8 months before hatching, even during the winter months. Treatments are normally based on the area in which you live, daily routines and any pre-existing medical conditions.

FACTS FLEAS and TICKS on CATS verses DOGS

Ticks are more often found on dogs than cats.
Dogs are more prone to flea allergies.
Owners often miss signs of fleas in cats because they mistake the cats discomfort for normal grooming behavior.
Fleas typically bug dogs on the rump, thighs and stomach. Cats are often more affected on the face, neck and back.


Let's face it, fleas and ticks are virtually everywhere! Although certain parts of the country and at specific times during the year, no cat or dog is completely safe
from them.

Today there is no reason for any pet or owner to be bothered by these nasty biting little pests.

Along with keeping up with flea meds, bombing and spraying the house and spraying or spreading insect granules to your yard, vacuum carpets, floors and furniture regularly always throwing out the vacuum bags after any signs, as fleas can survive in the bag for weeks and months. Block off damp and shady areas around your home such as; under your deck and outside stairway as fleas love these areas. Wash your pets bedding, toys and towels once a week and regularly groom your pet.

Letters to Brevard Commissioners Needed Immediately......

Your Letters to Commissioners Needed Immediately!

Please send before the Commissioner Meeting on 4/14/09



Contact your Commissioners and County Manager Stockton Whitten:

D1.commissioner@brevardcounty.us, chuck.nelson@brevardcounty.us, trudie.infantini@brevardcounty.us, D4.commissioner@brevardcounty.us, D5.commissioner@brevardcounty.us, stockton.whitten@brevardcounty.us




At the bottom of this email is an email I sent to the Brevard County Commissioners. During a recent tour of the South Animal Care Center with a Commissioner and the County Manager, I personally witnessed what I feel are clear violations of Florida's Animal Cruelty Laws. I was horrified by what I saw. I saw dogs on Adoption Row completely exposed to the cold, harsh winds. I saw dogs kept in a room with no water, no mats, and no mental or physical stimulation. I will never, ever forget their faces. These dogs deserve to be treated humanely.


In my email to officials, I detailed the specifics of the cruelty and included the Florida Statutes to back up my claims. I asked the Commissioners to open the spot of Director of Animal Services for applications.


I hope all of you will write a polite letter to the Commissioners. The simple solution for them is to open the application process for a new, permanent Director (the current Director is only Interim and was hired with no animal experience). We need everyone to write letters ASAP to show support for a new Director. I cannot express enough how powerful your letters really are!! The animals need our help now and we are so close to real change, thanks to you!

Please write! Be Their Voice!


Contact your Commissioners and County Manager Stockton Whitten:

D1.commissioner@brevardcounty.us, chuck.nelson@brevardcounty.us, trudie.infantini@brevardcounty.us, D4.commissioner@brevardcounty.us, D5.commissioner@brevardcounty.us, stockton.whitten@brevardcounty.us




My letter I sent regarding my experience:





Hello,




I am emailing to express my absolute disappointment regarding my most recent tour of the South Animal Care Center (SACC). What I saw shocked and disgusted me. SACC is being allowed to commit what is clearly criminal animal cruelty under Florida Statutes, and the current Interim Director and Shelter Manager are allowing these criminal acts to continue..



During my visit, I observed cold, shivering dogs on "Adoption Row." The dogs were suffering unnecessarily as the cold wind rushed through their kennels. There was nowhere for them to go within the kennel to escape the elements. Some dogs did not even have a mat or blanket. I watched as one dog shivered horribly. This suffering could have easily been alleviated with additional blankets, or perhaps the staff could have closed the dividers on the kennels for a short while until the wind died down or the facility warmed up. It was much warmer only an hour later when I left than it was when I arrived. The dividers in the kennels should not be shut all day, but one hour would have made a difference for the cold dogs.



The "Quarantine Room" was absolutely unacceptable. Upon request, the Shelter Manager opened the door to the room. The dogs in the room had no access to food or water. There was a horrific smell that was much worse than the rest of the facility, and I observed a considerable amount of feces. The dogs only had access to one half of the kennel runs, and had no choice but to sit in their own feces. There were no mats or blankets to provide physical relief. Keep in mind these dogs in quarantine and court hold could remain there for several months on concrete. The Manger stated that these dogs are never walked or allowed outside. There were no toys in the kennel, such as durable Nylabones or Kongs, which research shows would provide mental stimulation and physical exercise for the dogs. Because of this, the dogs are being driven crazy, and the unnecessary stress causes the dogs to bark dangerously loud. When dogs are neglected like this, the barking can become very loud, much louder than what would normally
be expected in a shelter. This can damage a human's hearing and it causes unnecessary pain and stress for the dogs. The dogs I viewed in this room were terrified. For example, one dog was so terrified it began to uncontrollably defecate everywhere. There are simple solutions, such as those mentioned above, that can be implemented to decrease the excessive barking and ease the physical and mental suffering of the dogs.Yet, this cruelty is allowed to continue.



Further, during the visit to SACC, I asked the Shelter Manger, Mary Berley, many questions. Her answers were highly evasive. However, she did admit that they do not weigh animals to calculate the appropriate dosage of the euthanasia drug prior to euthanasia, but rather the technicians "guess" the weight of the animals. Euthanasia must be conducted humanely, and this requires using an appropriate dosage of the drug, not an “estimated” dose that leaves significant room for error.




I have included some relevant Florida Statutes in this email. The actions and neglect taking place at SACC are criminal and must stop immediately.




I am asking for the immediate removal of the Brevard Animal Services and Enforcement (BASE) Interim Director. He allows staff members, such as the Shelter Manager, to continue employment at BASE, and condones the criminal activity of staff. As long as the current management continues to be employed at BASE, there will be no permanent change in the shelter conditions. The situation regarding BASE has been ineffectively drawn out for far too long. The current director had no animal experience prior to being hired, and is too inexperienced to fix the numerous problems. The only efficient solution to the current problem is to open the application process for the Director position, and hire someone with the appropriate qualifications to be Director. A Director with animal care and management experience can make sure the shelters are run appropriately by the county.



I am asking that you please open the application process for the Director position immediately.

Thinking about rehoming your pet for free...DON'T



Dog Gone

People aren't the only ones losing their homes during these difficult times so are their pets, but beware, offer your pet free to a good home and it could vanish. Police are investigating several missing dogs, which were all given to the same man. Carmel Cafiero is here with this special assignment report, Dog Gone.
Reported by:



WSVN -- Robbie Coy: "He's 9 years old, left in a garage. The next door neighbors broke into the garage to take him out."

That cruelty is just one symptom of the kind of stress people are under these days. Throughout South Florida, dogs like these are being dumped, abandoned or turned in to shelters by owners no longer able or willing to care for them.

Robbie Coy: "That's Jumbo and Yumbo. They came in together."

As a result, rescue groups like Sabbath in South Miami-Dade now have more homeless dogs then ever before, and in Boca the Tri-County Humane Society, a no kill facility, is passed capacity.

Jeannette Chrisos: "And it's sad when you have to turn people away when they're in your lobby, and they're crying, and we must get 50 calls a day, and 20 people come into our shelter."

Some desperate owners have offered their dogs free to a good home, but experts say that can be a death sentence.

Jeannette Chrisos: "The worst thing you can do is give an animal away free."

They say people lie to get the animals and then...

Robbie Coy: "They can sell it as a laboratory animal. They can use it for fighting with pitbulls. They can torture it. They can do anything they want. You have no idea who they are."

And that's what the folks who raised and loved Bubba fear may have happened to him.

Mark: "I think Bubba's possibly dead. I don't think he's around anymore."

Mark and his wife Kim have asked us not to use their last names.

Kim: "We were trying to do what was best for Bubba."

Mark's out of work. They have a new baby and had to move to a home with no fence. They offered Bubba free to a good home on Craig's List and thought the man who took him in would give Bubba a loving home.

Mark: "He said, 'Just about every Sunday I have a barbecue.' He said, 'Give me a call, come by, visit with him, play with him.'"

Carmel Cafiero: "So Mark left Bubba here at this Hollywood home, but that same night, Kim was cruising the Internet and discovered the man who adopted him had been getting other dogs from the Internet too. She had a very bad feeling."

She called the next morning.

Kim: "I said we want him back this morning, and if not we want him back today, and he said, 'You can forget about it. You're not getting your dog back. Your dog is gone.'"

In less than 24 hours Bubba had vanished.

Mark: "He said you gave that dog to me, there's nothing you can do, forget about it. He's gone."

This is the man they trusted to give Bubba a good home. His name is Kelvin Quiles. He's a used car salesman with a criminal record. He moved out of the Hollywood house, but we found him selling cars in North Miami. He wouldn't tell me what he did with the dog.

Carmel Cafiero: "Where's Bubba? What did you do with Bubba?"

Quiles shoved the microphone away.

Kelvin Quiles: "I told you, get the --- out of here, OK?"

And then locked the door, but questions from law enforcement will not be so easy to dismiss.

Hollywood Police Lt. Scott Pardon: "We've been investigating since January 30th."

The Hollywood Police Department says it has an open and active investigation on Quiles based on dogs he has acquired.

Hollywood Police Lt. Scott Pardon: "We have people who love their animals, and they're entrusting him with them, and they don't know what's happening to them."

And not knowing is just one of the things that haunts Kim and Mark.

Mark: "I'm really afraid they took him and fought him, and when they were done with him, they killed him."

If you're facing the prospect of having to give up a pet there are options.

Jeanette Chrisos: "If it's just a matter of not being able to afford food for their animals, we can provide that for them."

Check local shelters but make sure you understand if there's a chance your pet could be put to sleep, contact rescue groups. If they can't take your pet, they may be able to help you find a foster home or a new home without your pet ever having to go to a shelter, but don't wait until the last minute.

Robbie Coy: "It's harder to adopt from a place like this than from a home."

In the wrong hands, your dog can end up dog gone in a matter of minutes. It's no way for a loyal and trusting friend to end up.

The Hollywood Police Department asks that anyone with information about Kelvin Quiles, please contact Broward Crime Stoppers. The number is 954-493-TIPS.

Letter from a Shelter Manager


I read this posting from the Orlando pets and I think everyone should read this. I do not know the original poster, but I commend this person on their fight to save lives. I know from experience and everything in this note is as true as the sky is blue.

A Letter from a Shelter Manager

I think our society needs a huge "Wake-up" call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all...a view from the inside if you will. First off, all of you breeders/sellers should be made to work in the "back" of an animal shelter for just one day. Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would change your mind about breeding and selling to people you don't even know. That puppy you just sold will most likely end up in my shelter when it's not a cute little puppy anymore. So how would you feel if you knew that there's about a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it is going to be dumped at? Purebred or not! About 50% of all of the dogs that are "owner surrenders" or "strays," that come into my shelter are purebred dogs. The most common excuses I hear are; "We are moving and we can't take our dog (or cat)." Really? Where are you moving to that doesn't allow pets? Or they say, "The dog got bigger than we thought it would." How big did you think a German Shepherd would get? "We don't have time for her." Really? I work a 10-12 hour day and still have time for my 6 dogs! "She's tearing up our yard." How about making her a part of your family? They always tell me "We just don't want to have to stress about finding a place for her we know she'll get adopted, she's a good dog". Odds are your pet won't get adopted & how stressful do you think being in a shelter is? Well, let me tell you, your pet has 72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off. Sometimes a little longer if the shelter isn't full and your dog manages to stay completely healthy. If it sniffles, it dies. Your pet will be confined to a small run/kennel in a room with about 25 other barking or crying animals. It will have to relieve itself where it eats and sleeps. It will be depressed and it will cry constantly for the family that abandoned it. If your pet is lucky, I will have enough volunteers in that day to take him/her for a walk. If I don't, your pet won't get any attention besides having a bowl of food slid under the kennel door and the waste sprayed out of its pen with a high-powered hose. If your dog is big, black or any of the "Bully" breeds (pit bull, rottie, mastiff, etc) it was pretty much dead when you walked it through the front door. Those dogs just don't get adopted. It doesn't matter how 'sweet' or 'well behaved' they are. If your dog doesn't get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn't full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed it may get a stay of execution, but not for long. Most dogs get very kennel protective after about a week and are destroyed for showing aggression. Even the sweetest dogs will turn in this environment. If your pet makes it over all of those hurdles chances are it will get kennel cough or an upper respiratory infection and will be destroyed because shelters just don't have the funds to pay for even a $100 treatment. Here's a little euthanasia 101 for those of you that have never witnessed a perfectly healthy, scared animal being "put-down." First, your pet will be taken from its kennel on a leash. They always look like they think they are going for a walk happy, wagging their tails. Until they get to "The Room," every one of them freaks out and puts on the brakes when we get to the door. It must smell like death or they can feel the sad souls that are left in there, it's strange, but it happens with every one of them. Your dog or cat will be restrained, held down by 1 or 2 vet techs depending on the size and how freaked out they are. Then a euthanasia tech or a vet will start the process. They will find a vein in the front leg and inject a lethal dose of the "pink stuff." Hopefully your pet doesn't panic from being restrained and jerk. I've seen the needles tear out of a leg and been covered with the resulting blood and been deafened by the yelps and screams. They all don't just "go to sleep," sometimes they spasm for a while, gasp for air and defecate on themselves. When it all ends, your pets corpse will be stacked like firewood in a large freezer in the back with all of the other animals that were killed waiting to be picked up like garbage. What happens next? Cremated? Taken to the dump? Rendered into pet food? You'll never know and it probably won't even cross your mind. It was just an animal and you can always buy another one, right? I hope that those of you that have read this are bawling your eyes out and can't get the pictures out of your head I deal with everyday on the way home from work. I hate my job, I hate that it exists & I hate that it will always be there unless you people make some changes and realize that the lives you are affecting go much farther than the pets you dump at a shelter. Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters and only you can stop it. I do my best to save every life I can but rescues are always full, and there are more animals coming in everyday than there are homes.
My point to all of this DON'T BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER PETS DIE! Hate me if you want to. The truth hurts and reality is what it is. I just hope I maybe changed one persons mind about breeding their dog, taking their loving pet to a shelter, or buying a dog. I hope that someone will walk into my shelter and say, "I saw this and it made me want to adopt." THAT WOULD MAKE IT WORTH IT!!

Potpouri can kill your pet.......

In a message dated 12/10/2008 6:25:17 P.M. Central Standard Time, Karencantner writes:

We have suffered a terrible, terrible tragedy last Wed. Two, beloved Cavaliers of mine, Haley and Zoe both ate potpourri from a decorative basket in my Living room

Within hours, they were vomiting it, convulsing and going into total body rigidity and shock. We took them to the after hours clinic, they had no idea what it could be and wouldn't listen to me about them vomiting potpourri at home and how I had such concerns about the toxic effects of it. They treated symptoms.

We transferred them to our day vet. He also wouldn't listen to me about the potpourri theory. He said they had "strychnine" poisoning symptoms. I kept telling him that the potpourri was Made In India, sold by a company in California and sold at my local WalMart. My heart told me that it was the culprit of their condition.

They declined rapidly throughout the day and we transferred them back to the after hours clinic for a second night. At midnight, I made the agonizing decision to put them to sleep. Haley was in constant seizures that wouldn't stop, fluid was filling up in her lungs, body temp was dropping on both of them, Zoe was lying almost lifeless on the table, struggling with every breath she took. Every muscle was completely rigid, you couldn't even move her.

I have devoted the last couple of days (now that I can get out of bed and function) to researching my concerns with the potpourri and have since found out I was right....... .....there is a lab in England that has case studies on toxic potpourri from India!! The toxin....strychnine , which in it's commercial source, comes from a certain tree grown in India . I am completely heart broken over this.

Please be aware of the potential toxins in any and all stuff like this in our homes. I would've never guessed this could happen but when I saw them both "playing" in the potpourri and then after about two hours saw the symptoms of a poisoning, I just put two and two together. Hug your babies, Love them and always take lots of photos along the way...it helps later on, trust me.

Warning for all pet owners........

Warning For Pet Owners...... Even if you don't have a pet, please pass this to those that do. Yesterday one of our dog agility friends experienced a tragedy and wanted me to pass a special message along to all of my dog loving Friends and family.
Please tell every dog owner you know. Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled, and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden.
Their dog Calypso decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk. Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.
Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats
Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees depending on each individual dog). 'However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it.'
This Snopes site gives the following information:
http://www.snopes. com/critters/ crusader/ cocoamulch. asp
Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and othergarden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called 'Theobromine' . It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of caution, check what you are using in your gardens and be
aware of what your gardeners are using in your gardens.
Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, axanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions
and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.
PLEASE GIVE THIS THE WIDEST DISTRIBUTION! !!

Shipping info:
How long will it take to get my order?

We usually ship on the next business day after your payment is received. If you pay by echeck or Google, your order will not be shipped until the day after the funds have cleared into our account
which normally takes 3 to 5 days to clear. We will notify you when payment clears. It will be shipped via USPS First Class Mail which is usually a 2 - 5 business day delivery time but it is not guaranteed. The USPS is usually pretty quick, but sometimes they do take their sweet time. 90% of our customers get their deliveries within 2 - 5 business days.

Caution;
Can I use K9-Advantix for dogs in a home with cats?
Yes, but extreme caution must be taken. The active ingredient Permethrin can be fatal to a cat if it is applied to or ingested by a cat. Due to their unique physiology, cats cannot metabolize permethrin. Caution must be taken to insure the cat(s) are not exposed to a dog treated with K9-Advantix. In a home where cats actively groom dogs, K9-Advantix is not recommended. Advantage is a much safer choice.

New Orleans is being evacuated as we speak, the people are being put on buses and trains for all those who have no menas of getting out otherwise.
The animals are also being shipped out too, IF anyone can help a resident by allowing them to camp out on your lawn, or in a barn, please let me know.
Anyone form northern parts of Ala, La, Georgia, or southern states of Tenn, Indianna, willing to allow anyone shelter from the storm, let me know.
I have rescues who need help, they can get out but no where to go.

Mass killings to start in Brevard Melbourne SACC Shelter today.....PLEASE HELP

I received this email this morning....please help!!

Because of the State of Emergency declared by both the State of Florida and the federal government on behalf of the State of Florida, new laws put into place since Hurricane Katrina dictate that all animals taken in by government-operated shelters be held for 90 days to giver owners time to find and claim their pets.



This means that the animals that are there now and are available for adoption are being pulled TODAY to be euthanized to make room for all the animals they will have to hold for 90 days.



There is a solution to this that does not require mass euthanization ... YOUR BREVARD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CAN CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY MEETING TO FORCE OUR BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT TO FIND IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY HOUSING TO BE RENTED TO HOLD THE NEW ANIMALS COMING IN NOW SO PEOPLE CAN FIND AND RECLAIM THEIR ANIMALS.



As usual, nobody in our County government seems to be able to think outside the box to do something creative to save lives. CALL YOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND CRAIG ENGLESON OF BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW AND ASK THEM TO FIND TEMPORARY SHELTERS TO HOLD THE ANIMALS FOR 90 DAYS SO THOSE THAT ARE AT THE SHELTER NOW DO NOT HAVE TO BE EUTHANIZED !!!!!!!!!

URGENT! PLEASE HELP LOOK FOR KIDNAPPED DOG LAST SEEN IN UNIVERSITY AREA OF CHARLOTTE , NC ! PLEASE HELP FIND "FRECKLES"!
This dog accidentally got out of the owner's home last weekend in the University Side of town Near Prosperity Church Road & Eastfield Road in Charlotte, NC, and was seen being put into a car a few blocks away by several young men…her collar and tags were found at the end of a street… Freckles is a special needs pet that already suffered a hard life before she was rescued…now, it is feared, she could be in the hands of people that are abusing her, and using her as a bait dog for dog-fighting… please, cross-post widely, and contact her owner (info below) AND Char-Meck Animal Control if you see a dog matching her description. This is a desperate situation, so please cross-post widely!

Lost Jack Russell Terrier Mix ( University-Eastfiel d/Prosperity Ridge Rd )

......

Reply to: manning82@bellsouth .net

Please help me find our beautiful female dog named Freckles. She is a JRT/Rat Terrier/Whippet mix with one blue eye & one brown eye. She is white with reddish brown spots on her coat & she is wearing her red collar with her red heart shaped rabies tag. Her name is Freckles & she is a little timid of new people but will come to her name when called.

She has had a hard life & needs to be found, if you find her please call 704-503-5886 or email manning82@bellsouth .net.

She is a rescue dog & we need help finding her~
I live in the University Side of town Near Prosperity Church Road & Eastfield Road. I have our neighborhood watch looking as well as they are going to send out a neighborhood email listing ehr description & name to help find her with a picture of her. We have 300 houses, so I am praying she chased a rabbit & someone nice picked her up to care for her.

I am attaching new pictures that we took of her this week. She has been doing really well, put on weight, walking nicer on her leash & only pee-d on me once this week in her nervousness to get to her leash to go outside. As many of you know, I have Sean, my special needs son, & as he was trying to come outside with my husband to go outside...freckles pushed thru & took off after a baby rabbit. She is very fast & unfortunately for us, she did not come back when we called her & searched for her in the woods, etc. I have contacted Animal Control after running into an Officer in the neighborhood, but he was there for pits. He had no calls for her & said to keep checking the website. I have also sent out a plea thru Craigslist & no response but it hasn't been posted but 2 hours or so. We waited outside last night for her until 11:30 pm & up again at 6:00 am to look for her. She ALWAYS comes back & I am really worried. Please post widely for her, she has had such a hard life & she is a bit skiddish, but she knows where she lives so please post & lets find her. She had a home visit this weekend to go be with another JRT male & that just kills me to know I have to call & say I lost her!!






I am so sorry, please help Freckles find her way home~
