  Blog: Very Important Info on Bloat (GDV)  
Problem: Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) or BLOAT

Dogs most often affected: Big deep chested dogs.

What is it: GDV (bloat) has two components: gastric dilatation--an excessive accumulation of gas in the stomach--and volvulus--a twisting of the stomach, which can occur if the dilatation isn't relieved.

Effects or symptoms: Severe abdominal distension, restlessness, discomfort, excessive salivation, non-productive vomiting, shock and death, if untreated.

Prevention: Several factors increase a dog's risk of developing GDV, including deep-chested conformation; having a first-degree relative (parent, sibling or offspring) affected by GDV; age (older dogs are more susceptible); nervous personality; rapid eating and eating large meals; eating solely dry food; and eating from a raised food dish. Despite the common belief that water consumption during or after eating and that exercise after eating can cause GDV, the role of these factors, if any, has not been clearly demonstrated.

To reduce the risk of GDV, feed your dog a combination of dry and canned food from a dish placed on the floor. Encourage slower eating by feeding at least twice a day. If necessary, put an 8- to 10- inch piece of sturdy chain (1-inch links) in the food bowl--your dog will have to slow down to pick the food from around the chain. Avoid stressful situations either before or after mealtimes.

Treatment: Your vet will decompress the stomach using a stomach tube (if possible) or surgery; followed by gastropexy (a surgical procedure that secures the stomach to prevent recurrence); and concurrent administration of fluid therapy and medication for shock.

Pet Safety Warning: String, Thread, Yarn, Rope Toys, Etc. Danger!


Never let your pet play with String, Thread, Thread Spools, Yarn, Rope, String Toys, Rope Toys, Dental Floss, Fishing Line, Christmas Tree Tinsel, Shoe Laces, Etc. (or anything like this.) These items can be very dangerous to your pet. Small (or large) lengths of string can be inadvertently swallowed and lodge in the intestinal track. The workings of the intestine can cause the string to work like a cutter, causing damage and even death.

Blog: Please sign  

Hi everyone. Please sign this petition. There is a beach in
California called Casa Beach. The local harbor seals use this beach to have pups and as a haul out to rest. A group of rich locals are trying to dredge off this beach to scare the seals away and reclaim it for their human selfishness. There are miles and miles of beach and this section is small. The seals need us. Please forward this and sign. Thanks. Ty

Alert: save the wolves!  
Focus:Endangered Species
Action Request:Donation
Location:United States
From the defenders team I'd like to share the following:

When the Alaska Board of Game begins meeting next week, they’ll consider a proposal to extend the aerial gunning of wolves into May -- prime denning season for Alaska’s wolves.

Under the proposal, airborne marksmen licensed by the state could target entire packs -- just as the mothers of newly born pups are searching for food and their offspring remain vulnerable in their dens.


Extending the aerial gunning season is just one of the proposals the Board will consider over a ten-day period.

Also on the slate are measures that will collectively eliminate 80% of the wolves in a 50,000 square mile area; to make permanent “emergency” measures the Board took to get around a court ruling that temporarily halted aerial gunning in January; and to allow hunters to chase down wolves on snow machines.

We’re not taking any of this lying down. Next week, our legal expert will be on hand at the Board of Game meeting to argue for sensible, science-based, and humane management of Alaska’s wolves.


Aerial gunners have wasted no time getting back to gunning down wolves. In the five weeks since the Board of Game reinstated aerial gunning, more than 50 wolves have been slaughtered -- more than twice as many as had been killed this year prior to a state judge’s ruling that temporarily halted aerial gunning!

What Defenders Is Doing to Stop Aerial Gunning

The situation is dire, but we’re working hard to finally put an end to this brutal practice. Here’s what we’re going to do…

  • Take it to the People. We’re encouraging our Alaskan members and supporters to sign a petition being circulated by Alaskans for Wildlife, a group trying to bring aerial gunning before Alaskan voters. Alaskans for Wildlife’s signature gatherers are close to obtaining the more than 31,000 signatures needed to add the issue to the statewide ballot in 2008. Airborne wolf-killing by private pilots has twice been voted down by Alaskans.
  • Take it to the Media. To better highlight how brutal this practice is, Defenders has sent three film crews to Alaska in the past two years to get footage of an actual aerial gunning operation.
  • Take it to Congress. We’re meeting with Members of Congress to make it abundantly clear that the federal Airborne Hunting Act prevents states such as Alaska from allowing aerial gunning under the guise of ensuring high moose and other game populations.
  • Take it to the Courts. Alaska should obey the law without being sued, but Defenders’ expert legal team is prepared to challenge Alaska’s aerial gunning program in the courts. 
 
I am confident that we can end Alaska’s barbaric aerial gunning practice, but I know we’re going to need your help to do it.

Make a tax-deductible donation now to help support our Campaign to Save Alaska’s Wolves. If you’d prefer to donate over the phone, just call us toll free at 1-800-385-9712.

We’re fighting to protect Alaska’s wolves. I sincerely hope you’ll help.

Yours truly,
