“Indien jou hond vergiftig is – selfs terwyl hy stuiptrekkings kry- gooi onmiddellik 2 rou eiers in sy keel af met bietjie water,” it reads, in Afrikaans.
This roughly translates as: “If your dog has been poisoned – even while having convulsions – immediately pour two raw eggs down their throat with a little water.”
It continues: “Die eiers vorm ‘n chemiese verbinding met die gif wat dit neutraliseer! jou hond sal na ‘n minuut opstaan en wegstap asof niks gebeur het nie . gee asb vir almal hierdie raad – dit werk regtig en kan jou diere se lewe red!” x
Translation: “The eggs form a chemical compound with the poison that neutralises it! Your dog will get up after a minute and walk away as if nothing happened. Please give everyone this advice – it really works and can save your animals’ lives!”
Dog owners take their furry friends’ health very seriously. Like their human companions, dogs can experience health problems that seemingly come out of nowhere. But unlike the men and women who take care of them, dogs cannot call the doctor when something is bothering them. That responsibility rests on the shoulders of their owners.
A dog’s eyes can be a window into the animal’s overall health. According to the pet care professionals at Memphis Veterinary Specialists & Emergency, serious conditions such as liver disease, diabetes and autoimmune diseases can all present indicators in a dog’s eyes. The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation® says that dogs can experience physical and/or behavioral problems when they’re experiencing eye trouble.
