16.01.2022 **ALERT** The Animal Poisons Helpline has received an increase in the number of calls regarding pufferfish poisoning over the past week. As we are about to en...ter summer, we would like to remind all pet owners to be cautious with their pets whilst on the beach. Pufferfish (also known as toadfish, blowfish or simply blowies) can be very attractive to pets. Dogs have been known to quickly eat washed up pufferfish before their owners can stop them, in some cases whole! Sometimes pet owners may be unaware that their pet has ingested a pufferfish until they develop the signs of poisoning soon after a visit to the beach. Most pufferfish are toxic when ingested. They contain a highly potent neurotoxin known as tetrodotoxin in their organs and skin. Pufferfish ingestion can be life-threatening and result in a rapid onset of paralysis which typically begins in the back legs and progresses forward to the respiratory muscles. If your pet has ingested a pufferfish, they require urgent veterinary attention. Do not wait for symptoms to develop. Whilst on the beach, always observe your pets and do not allow them to approach any washed-up fish. To the fishing enthusiasts, please immediately return any pufferfish that are caught to the water rather than leaving them behind where dogs may eat them. For all animal poisoning queries, you can call the Animal Poisons Helpline on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ). Our service is free for all pet owners.

14.01.2022 Cats can get stressed!! Quarantine has led to lots of change in our human routine and acquisition of plenty of new pets. These can amount to a difficult time for out feline residents. Keep an eye out for signs your cat's behaviour has changed. They may be stressed and this can lead to health problems including urinary tract disease, behaviour change, weight change, skin disease, gastrointestinal disease. Speak to your vet if you are concerned and try instigating some of these tips to being a feline friendly household!

12.01.2022 Spring has sprung!! Little reminder about being vigilant as snakes are out and about and on the move as the weather warms up. Lots of parks and public reserves are quite overgrown currently so remember to be vigilant and keep your dogs on a leash!

07.01.2022 Here is a handy list of the top toxic human foods to avoid feeding your pet. If you suspect your pet has eaten any of the following foods, please note the amount ingested and contact us CPE 8790 1625 or the Animal Poisons Centre as soon as possible. Whilst some foods may just cause gastro-intestinal upset, others can be life threatening. Avocado All parts of the Avocado plant contain persin. Ingestion can result in gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting and diarrhoea. Seriou...s poisoning in dogs is rare however some other animals such as birds are much more susceptible to toxicity. Chocolate Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine which are both toxic to dogs and cats. Chocolate toxicity is dependent on the type of chocolate, the amount ingested and the size of your pet. Chocolate poisoning in dogs can be life threatening so always call us or the Animal Poisons Centre if you suspect your dog has ingested any. Grapes, Sultanas, Currants and Raisins These can be dangerous in any quantity and can result in kidney injury and failure in dogs. The cause is unclear, however symptoms include repeated vomiting and lethargy. If your dog has a habit of stealing food off the table, be sure to put dried fruit out of reach. Macadamia Nuts Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, depression, vomiting, tremors and hyperthermia (high body temperature) in dogs. Signs usually appear within 12 hours of ingestion and can last approximately 12 to 48 hours. Onions Onions contain compounds called disulfides and thiosulphates which can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. The severity can range from minor gastrointestinal effects to a potentially serious, life-threatening haemolytic anaemia. Garlic, chives, leeks and other Allium species contain the same compounds. Initial signs of ingestion may include vomiting and diarrhea, however more concerning signs may take days to appear as red blood cell changes occur. Salt or salty foods Avoid feeding salt-heavy snacks like potato chips, pretzels, and salted popcorn to your pets. Large amounts of salt can produce excessive thirst and urination. Signs that your pet may have eaten too many salty foods include vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, seizures and even death. Xylitol Xylitol is used as a sweetener in many products, including gum, candy, baked goods and toothpaste. Xylitol is particularly toxic to dogs, causing insulin release resulting in dangerous low blood sugar levels. There is also risk of delayed liver injury. Initial symptoms include vomiting, lethargy and loss of coordination.
