Serving pet owners in Cedar Bluff, AL

Weiss Lake dogs, and the hooks that come with them

Weiss Lake covers more than 30,000 acres with something close to 450 miles of shoreline, fed by the Coosa, the Little, and the Chattooga. A very large share of dogs here spend real time in and around the water.

Leptospirosis vaccination moves from optional to sensible. Blue-green algae can bloom in warm, still water in late summer and is dangerous if swallowed; if the water looks like paint, keep the dog out. Ear infections are the routine consequence of swimming several times a week. Dry the ears. Get a persistent head-shake looked at.

This is the Crappie Capital of the World, and dogs go out on boats. Fishhooks in lips, paws, and mouths are a recurring injury. Do not pull an embedded hook out yourself. The barb does more damage coming out backward. Call us. If we are closed, go to the nearest emergency hospital and call us afterward.
