Valentine's Day and Our Pets

Valentine's Day is special for our pets also.  This article highlights several potential hazards for our smaller family members.  And accidents do occur.  As this article mentions, alcohol toxicity can occur in pets.  One of the first emergency calls I ever received involved an intoxicated dog.  The owner has a party and the guests set their drinks on the floor.  "Fluffy" helped himself and became very ill, to the point of needing hospitalization and treatment.  "So let's be careful out there!"
