KEEPING PETS SAFE AROUND ELECTRICITY |
| Electricity is our friend, but it is necessary to protect pets from potential household electrical hazards. Kittens and puppies are likely to chew anything they can get in their mouth. Birds, such as parrots, can use their beaks to rip electrical wires and components and create a danger to themselves and others. Bunnies, hamsters, and other small pets enjoy chewing on things such as wires without realizing the danger. | |  | |  | No matter how diligent you are, it is impossible to supervise your pet all of the time and young animals have a habit of getting into trouble the minute your back is turned. Therefore, prevention is better than cure and a bit of time and effort spent pet-proofing your home and garden is far preferable to the trauma of an accident and expensive | | Any animal that has suffered electrical shock must be rushed to the veterinarian immediately. Before you approach any animal which know or suspect is suffering from electrical shock, take precautions to ensure that there is no danger to yourself from live wires or electric fires. Treatment will be most effective if begun soon after the shock. |  |  | Symptoms include loss of consciousness, burns, difficulty breathing, and abnormal heart rhythm. Untreated, all of these could result in the death of the pet. That is why immediate vet care is critical. | |
