Ball Safety: When dogs pant their throats visibly expand (pictured above). Balls that normally wouldn’t be an issue can get lodged when panting. Mandana found this ball and we allowed her to play with it a little but when she started to pant harder we exchanged it for our Ruffwear Gnawt-A-Stick. There is a technique for removing balls from a dogs throat that everyone should learn but it isn’t a guarantee. This kind of accident is mostly preventable so choose your toys wisely & monitor play time 😊

Preparing for Pets Health Emergencies

Preparing for pet health emergencies is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. Here are some steps you can take to be prepared:

Find a reputable veterinarian: Research and establish a relationship with a trusted veterinarian in your area. Make sure they offer emergency services or have a referral network for emergencies outside regular hours.

Know the location of emergency clinics: Identify the nearest 24-hour emergency veterinary clinics or hospitals in your vicinity. Keep their contact information easily accessible.

Create a pet emergency contact list: Compile a list of important phone numbers, including your regular veterinarian, emergency clinics, poison control hotline, and any other relevant numbers. Keep a copy in your pet's first aid kit and store it in your phone or on your refrigerator.

First Aid Tips and Preparedness Guide for Dogs

Pet insurance or savings: Consider obtaining pet insurance or setting aside an emergency fund for unexpected veterinary expenses. This can help alleviate financial stress during emergencies.

Pet first aid and CPR training: Enroll in a pet first aid and CPR course to learn basic life-saving techniques. Knowing how to administer CPR, handle injuries, and perform basic first aid can be invaluable during emergencies.

Stock a pet first aid kit: As mentioned earlier, assemble a pet first aid kit with essential supplies for treating minor injuries and emergencies. Regularly check and replenish the supplies as needed.

Pet-proof your home: Conduct a thorough pet-proofing of your home to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. Secure hazardous items, medications, toxic plants, and chemicals out of your pet's reach.

Identification and microchipping: Ensure your pet has proper identification, such as a collar with tags containing your contact information. Consider microchipping your pet as a permanent form of identification.

Familiarize yourself with common pet hazards: Learn about common household hazards and foods that can be toxic to pets. Keep potentially harmful substances safely stored and be cautious about what your pet has access to.

Have a pet carrier or travel crate: Keep a pet carrier or travel crate easily accessible. In emergencies, it may be necessary to transport your pet safely and securely.

Create a pet emergency plan: Develop a plan for what to do in various emergency situations. Assign roles and responsibilities to family members, establish evacuation routes, and identify pet-friendly accommodations if needed.

Remember, in case of a serious or life-threatening emergency, it is crucial to seek immediate veterinary care. Your veterinarian and the professionals at emergency clinics are the best resources to handle critical situations and provide appropriate treatment for your pet.

There is a scratch mark on the floor of the Council chambers that Mace has never noticed before. Not a deep one, mind, quite shallow. This matters because it’s making the white-hot pulse of agony stabbing through his eyeballs ebb momentarily. Then, he chances a glance upwards at the fidgeting Knight in front of them, and it returns in full force.

Huh, he’s never seen Oppo Rancisis’ face turn that colour before.

“Hmm”, Master Yoda hums, deep and scratchy. His expression is unreadable even to Mace beyond a baseline gremlinness, and the force with which he grips the edges of his seat is making his bones creak. Master of the Order you should become, they said. Follow the calling of the Force, you should. A fulfilling purpose, it will be. Mace is going to hunt the little goblin for sport when this is all over, and he’s going to laugh the whole time.

“Show us the livestream again, could you, Knight Parvo?” Yoda asks. Mace bursts a capillary, he’s pretty sure, and so does poor Knight Parvo, whose orange Mon Cala skin tips all the way into blood red with stress. “Most unusual, this is.”

“Absolutely not!”, Ki Adi intervenes before Mace has to, thank the Force for little mercies. Plo Koon’s tusks tremble slightly with either suppressed laughter or abject horror, maybe both, and Stass Allie has her head in her hands. “The holo stills should be enough”, Ki Adi proceeds to add, and Mace has to reconsider all feelings of grace he just felt towards his fellow Councillor.

He never wants to watch Yoda zoom in on someone’s abs again. Or Depa raise her eyebrows at the curve of thighs bent over the dripping front of a speeder.

“Speeder Wash For Our Troops”, his former padawan reads out loud from a still of what has to be hundreds of the things gathered in the public senate parking lot. “Fund Our Boys And Get A Wet Seeing-To!” The series of images features dozens of Coruscant Guard troopers in various stages of unkitted, gleaming and shining with soap suds and water. The fact that the whole thing is also massive shatterpoint after massive shatterpoint is, quite frankly, insulting.

“Well hello- oh dear”, Obi-Wan’s blue form crackles to life in his chair, followed by several sounds of choking that are definitely not him. Good, Mace thinks acidly. If he has to deal with this, then so does kriffing Skywalker. “I’m sorry, why am I looking at Commander Thorn using a washrag like a lasso on top of a speeder?”

“Oh, the Guard’s little fundraising project”, Bail Organa says, as he steps into the Council chambers. Normally, Mace likes the man well enough. Now, he just smiles and adds on, “I’ve already donated, in mine and Breha’s name. Remotely, of course.”

“The Guard’s fundraising speeder wash?”, Obi-Wan repeats, edges of his holo form flickering with what Mace suspects is Skywalker very unsubtly trying to edge in. Force, but the man really is horrible at any and all stealth, like kissing his secret wife in an open arena in front of his Master. “And they are fundraising for…?”

“GAR budget allocations have to come from somewhere”, Organa shrugs. “And with the tide of public opinion turning, they’ve been tending towards cuts. The Guard feels them more keenly than any other sector - they’ve been reduced from half to quarter rations, and medical supplies have not made more than a token appearance in the last draft. The Chancellor has cancelled three consecutive meetings on the matter, and thus it was agreed that a more hands-on approach was needed. Any surplus will go into the Army fund.”

“Surely it can’t be that dire”, Oppo protests, a slightly less concerning shade of purple now. Senator Organa shrugs again, jostling the smattering of cracks slowly building around his person in a way that makes Mace wince quietly. “It’s all publicly available data, Masters.”

It really can be that dire, as it turns out. And quarter rations is only scratching the surface of how dire, considering the Guard has apparently never had access to bacta in all their posting, and also includes requisitioning forms available to the Senate for reconditionings and decommissionings, two words Mace has only heard Ponds whispers amidst shuddering in the early days of the war before Shaak Ti went off and just about tore some throats out over it.

“Alright”, he concedes, rubbing at his temples. “Fair enough, we have failed to tackle a massive blind spot in the Guard’s well being. There is no Jedi assigned to Coruscant, and that’s an oversight on our behalf. But how in the everloving kriff did this get past the Chancellor and Commander Fox?!”

Who have both signed, black on white. Bail Organa smiles cryptically. “Well, if you scroll a bit past that one image, up to the industrial speeder in the back - Commander Fox is currently having credits stuffed into his codpiece in the back, I believe.”

“HE’S WHAT IN THE WHAT NOW”, Commander Cody screeches through the speaker of Obi-Wan’s holo image, and Mace has to summon every bit of Jedi-serenity he possesses in his body to keep from dropkicking a cackling Yoda through the chamber windows.

❤️‍🩹 Don't forget to bring your Firstaid Medipack! ❤️‍🩹

Imagine if the minibots were carried around like this by their bigger cohorts. I can definitely see Rewind being a purse puppy. Swerve would certainly be a sunglasses wearing backpack beagle (should I do more?😈🙃).

The Almighty algorithm decided I needed to know about dog sling harnesses for larger dogs that may have mobility problems or for emergency situations. I just couldn't help but laugh at how reluctant some of these dog models look lol. This was also supposed to just stay a doodle too 🙄...

[ #WeRate ] Terramycin Antibiotic Ointment: A Must-Have for Your Pet's First Aid Kit

We frequently travel with multiple pets and often find ourselves in remote areas where medical care for both humans and animals is typically at least 45 minutes away.

Televet appointments have been a tremendous help, but our Pet First Aid Kit has also been a godsend!

This post contains affiliate links, and we only recommend products we have either used, are using, or would use and share with our family and friends. Click here to read our Affiliate Disclaimer.

None of us want to see our pets injured or in pain, and the quicker we can start treatment, the less stress and discomfort our pets have to experience.

Which is why we highly recommend keeping Terramycin Antibiotic Ointment in your pet first aid kit.

This small but mighty 0.125oz tube is an essential item for treating eye infections in dogs, cats, and even larger animals like cattle, horses, and sheep.

What It Is

Terramycin is an antibiotic ointment specifically formulated for treating eye infections in a variety of animals. It’s small, easy to carry, and incredibly convenient for both at-home use and when traveling.

Whether you’re dealing with an accidental eye scratch during playtime or you notice the first signs of redness indicating an infection, this ointment is a great first line of defense.

Why We Love It

One of the best things about Terramycin is its versatility and ease of use. It’s a relief to know that if an eye issue arises, you have something on hand to begin treatment immediately. This is especially important if your pet is prone to eye infections.

While it’s important to consult your vet as soon as possible, whether through an in-person visit or a televet appointment, having Terramycin ready to go allows you to start care right away.

Terramycin is small enough to fit into any pet first aid kit, making it a breeze to take along on trips or to have on hand at home.

Things to Keep in Mind

While Terramycin is a fantastic product to have on hand, it’s important to remember that it’s not a substitute for professional veterinary care.

Always consult with your vet before starting treatment, especially if the issue persists or worsens.

To ensure the ointment remains effective, regularly check its expiration date and store it properly.

If you live in an area with extreme temperature fluctuations, like we do on the Gulf Coast, it's important to store it in a cool, temperature-controlled environment to maintain its effectiveness. The recommended storage temperature is between 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit (20-25 degrees Celsius).

In addition to this ointment, we also keep other vet-recommended essentials on hand, such as a saline eye-flushing solution and a product for dry eye relief, so we're prepared for any situation.

Would We Buy It Again?

Rating: ★★★★★

Yes! Terramycin is a valuable addition to any pet care arsenal for its affordable price and effectiveness. Knowing you have a reliable treatment option immediately available in the event of an eye infection provides peace of mind, especially when your vet might not be immediately accessible.

Terramycin Antibiotic Ointment is a small investment that can make a big difference in your pet’s health. Whether at home or on the go, it’s a must-have for any pet owner who wants to be prepared for life’s little surprises.

Disclaimer: We’re not medical professionals—just passionate pet owners sharing what works for us. Always consult your veterinarian for pet-specific issues, and if your pet experiences any adverse reactions, contact them immediately. Every pet is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Your vet is the best source of advice tailored to your pet’s health needs.
