Protect Your Pet from Holiday Hazard SUPPLEMENT ft) MeHENRI MNDEALER - PAGE 1« - TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, *»# imH If your only pet is a pet rock, you're safe. Other­ wise, be wary. The season to be jolly is also the season that offers the most hazards for cats and dogs, and you 11 have to be on the lookout for the safety of animals. The Christmas tree, with colored lights and balls, tinsel and artificial snow is a tempting curiosity for your cats and puppies. You 11 have to exercise extra caution to keep them out of the branches. Class ornaments splinter on contact and can cause perforation of your pet's gastric or intestinal walls. Chewing on the wires of colored lights, etc. can re­ sult in electric shock. Holly, poinsettias and mistletoe are especially dangerous toxins at this time of the year. Make sure these poisonous substances are kept well outside your animal's reach. Remember tokeep ribbon, string and wrapping paper from your pet as well. There's nothing a pet likes better than to munch on discarded wrappings. Watch where you dis­ pose of the remains of your holiday dinner. It's easy for a pet to gag on turkey bones thrown in a garbage bag. Also be careful of the kinds of toys you buy for your pet. Make sure they are made of sturdy rub­ ber that can't be chewed to pieces. Should an emergency arise, be sure to call your veterinarian for assistance. In the meantime, there are certain things you can do to help save your animal's life. - ; "v -v Approach your pet cau­ tiously, because he is fright­ ened and may try to bite or ;scrat<sfi anyone who comes neahjiim.

Orally, feed him hydrogen peroxide mixed with an equal amount of water, or two teaspoons of epsom salt to a cup of tepid water. If your pet swallows a . bone fragment, glass or oth­ er foreign object and you can see it, force his mouth open by pressing with thumb and forefinger on his cheeks, then reach in and try to remove the ob­ ject (provided'there are no sharp points). If the object has been swallowed, try to induce vt>miting by feeding him some bread, then placing a glob of salt on the back of his tongue and making him swallow it. Or try applying pressure. Press your palm firmly into your pet's abdomen, just below the rib cage. With the palm of the other hand, maintain constant pressure on the lower abdomen. The object should pop right out.
