    Bloat Risk And Exercise

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I'll admit, I'm excessively paranoid about bloat.

     

    I try to keep them as quiet as possible after they eat. It's just something I'm afraid that if I let my guard down- something bad will happen.

     

    I did have to load Cookie into the car right after a meal a couple times so we could go to a meet n greet and I was worried about it the whole day but I'm doing better with relaxing things a little. I hated walking them after their evening meal but I think I got used to the routine and stopped worrying so much.

     

    Cookie's foster mom told me a story about someone's golden who got bloat and died very suddenly, and it has stayed etched in my mind, I'll admit.

    Iverhart Plus Recall?

    Something else also. I received this in an email Aug. 23 so hopefully everyone who uses it has been notified.

     

    Iverhart recall

     

    Heartworm preventative Iverhart Plus is being recalled by manufacturer Virbac; lots 090093 and 090095 are affected.

     

    VIN News, a veterinary news service reports that Virbac “did not share the company’s (recall) letter with the VIN News Service, sales representative Tara Youngblood explains that veterinarians are being asked to contact their distributors to see if they’ve purchased product from the recalled lots.” http://news.vin.com/vinnews.aspx?articleId=13680

     

    The FDA website did not provide any information of this heartworm preventative recall, however the FDA website did provide a FDA Warning Letter issued to Virbac, Inc. dated December 10, 2008. http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementAction.../ucm1048051.htm

     

    The FDA Warning Letter to Virbac stated an inspection discovered “numerous violations of current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations…the documented violations cause drug products manufactured at your facility to be adulterated”.

     

    Neither Virbac Corporate Website (http://www.virbac.com/p-virbaccompuben/display.aspx?srv=p-virbaccom&typ=pub〈=en&cmd=view&style=styles/home.xsl&monrep=&select=) nor the Virbac Animal Health website (http://www.virbacvet.com/ ) provided information regarding the Iverhart Plus recall (perhaps the information is on Virbac company websites, however I could not find it).

     

    If your dog is taking Iverhart Plus heartworm preventative, contact your Veterinarian.

     

    Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,

    As far as fan placement, I have an idea that I use. I don't use A/C, myself, just fans. Can't do A/C!

     

    I have a round fan, and it can move from being upright to pointing to the ceiling. I actually point it to the ceiling and the air seems to circulate pretty well.

    We've never had A/C in any our homes.

     

    My bf did say that running fans generates more electrical usage than A/C, so it's entirely possible it's more economical to use the A/C. This may be something to look into before making a decision.
