Animal behaviorist learns from pets during lockdown
Many pet owners have gained greater insight into their pets' daily lives during the pandemic, including Candace Croney, a professor of animal behavior at Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. She says she's noticed new things about how her dog and cat interact with each other, and she's a little worried about her own separation anxiety when she returns to a normal work schedule.

The FDA is reminding pet owners that Easter lilies, chocolate bunnies and other seasonal items aren't safe for pets. Veterinarian Melanie McLean says that even a small amount of Easter Lily pollen licked off the fur can cause problems for a cat, so owners who think their feline friend has been exposed should seek veterinary attention immediately. Dogs are less susceptible to Easter lilies, but lily of the valley is dangerous to canines. Seasonal chocolates are also a source of danger, particularly to dogs, who are more likely to sample chocolate bunnies. LiveScience.com (4/14), Food Poisoning Bulletin
THE FOLLOWING ALERT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE INDIANA BOARD OF ANIMAL HEALTH ON JULY 18, 2013
PET OWNERS should be advised of the problems that occur after pets have been exposed to blue-green algae. BOAH (Board of Animal Health) has already received one report this spring of a dog dying after swimming in a pond with the aquatic plant, which typically grows in stagnant bodies of water after long periods of hot weather. After pets swim in outdoor ponds or lakes (private or public), owners should bathe them to remove any possible algae that the animal(s) could ingest, causing illness and sudden death

FOUR BATS in Indiana have tested positive for rabies in 2011 (July 11, 2011)
The positive bats have been located in Posey, St. Joseph, Marion, and Elkhart counties. One of the pets exposed was not current on its rabies vaccine, and now the owners are required to quarantine their dog for six months. The state of Indiana still requires all dogs, cats and ferrets three months of age and older to be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed and accredited veterinarian.
