WHEN IN DOUBT, IT'S BEST TO <br />KEEP ANIMALS OUT! <br />Do not let your pets or livestock graze <br />near, drink or swim in water where <br />you see blue -green algae blooms, <br />foam or scum on the surface. <br />• If your animal gets in blue- green <br />algae- contaminated water, wash the <br />animal off with clean water as soon <br />as possible. Do not let the animal lick <br />algae off of its fur. <br />• Contact a veterinarian if your animal <br />shows symptoms of blue -green algae <br />poisoning. Symptoms include loss of <br />energy, loss of appetite, vomiting, <br />stumbling and falling, foaming at <br />the mouth, diarrhea, convulsions, <br />excessive drooling, tremors and <br />seizures, or any other unexplained <br />sickness that occurs within a day or so <br />after being in contact with water. <br />Health and safety tips for pets <br />and livestock <br />
