Thursday February 16 2023 7 GOING PLACES: Jacob Neale (left) and Jayden Potts have been named in the Junior Black Sox world cup squad after being named MVPs of the U19 national championships last month. Six Canterbury players have been named in the squad. Canty players make world cup squads • By Jaime Cunningham FIFTEEN AGE-group Canterbury softballers have made three world cup squads for tournaments taking place this year. In the Major Sox (U23) team, Liam Potts, Josh Lubiejewski, and Caleb Stewart will play at the first world cup at this age level in Argentina in April, in a team dominated by Auckland players. Selectors have gone for the same 16 players as last October, before the tournament was postponed. Said co-coach Steven Deans: “This group (has) worked hard both on and off the diamond and have done everything asked to get the team in the best possible shape to perform at the World Cup.” After winning the U19 national championships last month, Canterbury have the most representatives in the Junior Black Sox squad heading to this year’s U18 World Cup. The tournament’s most valuable players, Jacob Neale and Jayden Potts, were named alongside teammates Hapene Kumeroa, Connor Stanley, Fletcher Due and Hunter Simpson. Former Black Sox captain Jarrad Martin will again coach the junior side. Three of the 19-man squad will be named as non-travelling reserves ahead of the tournament, with the dates and location of the U18 World Cup yet to be confirmed. It’s an exciting year for women’s development in the sport, with the inaugural U15 World Cup set to be held in Tokyo, Japan, in October. Bella Folesi, Jade Croskery, Hannah Jones, Aimee Goodmanson and Jorja Simpson will assemble with other players for two days of training before taking part in Auckland’s Easter Classic in April, in a bid to impress selectors and be named in the final world cup squad. Softball Canterbury development manager Anthea Stringer will be leading the team for a fifth year. • For full squad lists, go to https:// www.facebook.com/SoftballNZ Summer is not without its perils for your favourite family furries. Every summer we see a high proportion of the same cases coming in so I thought I’d mention a few. Barley grass seeds are particularly nasty, especially for dogs. They usually enter from the paws but can weave their way into any part of the dogs coat, then they penetrate the skin and just keep tracking. We have surgically removed barley grass seeds from the abdomen, bladder and one caused an abscess underneath the spine. It is common also for Dr Steve Heap to remove them from eyes ( conjunctival sac). Early detection is the key. Thoroughly check your dog all over after exercise. Most dogs will excessively lick the area of grass seed penetration, may be lame and often you can see a point of entry. A grass seed in the eye will cause intense pain, spillage of tears, and a red eye that is partially closed. This is an emergency and your pet should Summer perilS Flea and / or mosquito bite hypersensitivity. Barley grass stuck in the conjunctival sac of this cat. Spaniels “ love” getting ear infections in summer be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Another cause for vet visits are ear infections ( Otitis externa). These are complex, usually involve both ears and are painful. Typically pets will present for head shaking, scratching, a foul odour and hot painful ears. Sometimes wax or a discharge is seen in the ear canals. The most common causes of otitis externa are ear mites, food or environmental allergens, Grass seed foreign bodies, bacterial or yeast infections and endocrine disease. The most important step is to be able to examine both ear canals and especially view the tympanic membrane ( ear drum) as this allows a treatment protocol to be worked out. We will then perform ear cytology to see what infectious agents we are dealing with. More often dogs need to be sedated to allow a thorough gentle clean to allow ear treatments the best shot at working. Plus assessment is crucial in removing foreign objects, checking for tumors/polyps and making sure the middle ear isn’t involved. Over represented dogs are Spaniels and Retrievers - with there large hairy drooping ears they create the right environment for nasties to grow. Many dogs need weekly ear cleaning during the summer months and used after a swim in a dirty pond to prevent issues. Flea or mosquito bite allergic facial dermatitis in cats can also be commonly seen too in summer. These cats are usually very itchy and self mutilate themselves, with the nose and the ear tips being targeted most. The lesions are often devoid of hair, ulcerated, red, infected and swelling is seen. Secondary infections then follow due to the disruption of the skin barrier, allowing water loss and the penetration of infectious organisms. We typically treat these with antibiotics, pain relief and anti inflammatories, plus effective flea control. Many older dogs suffer from Acquired Laryngeal Paralysis. It is more common in large breed dogs over 9 years of age, with the Labrador being over represented. Symptoms are worse in the summer months for these affected dogs. Clinically these dogs will present with many symptoms, depending on the severity of the disease. Commonly seen signs are changes in the bark, difficulty breathing, coughing, non stop panting, regurgitation, exercise and heat intolerance and sometimes collapse. Many of these dogs also suffer from ataxia and weakness in the hindlegs, with knuckling of the paws seen when tired. This is because dogs with Laryngeal paralysis often suffer from generalised “ Neuromuscular Disease”. This is often referred to as Geriatric Onset Laryngeal Paralysis and Polyneuropathy.( GOLPP) Conservative treatment options include walking these dogs in a harness, keeping them cool and in a well ventilated environment, not overheating them and short exercise activity when its cooler. Sometimes medications are given to help the cough and calm them down if they are anxious and restless. Surgery is an option for those dogs with severe respiratory signs that are unresponsive to conservative treatment. Our darling Lola has GOLPP but is well managed conservatively. She can still exercise for an hour a day but I avoid the hotter parts of the day. She loves swimming but Im careful where I take her as she can regurgitate up excess water swallowed. I elevate her food and am careful what I feed her. She’s not currently on medications. All in all for a 13.5 year old cancer survivor, she’s doing awesome.
