23.01.2022 SNAKES As the weather warms up, so do Australia's snakes. This is a reminder for all pet owners to take precautions. ... Signs of snakebite can be subtle at first, and can progress with devastating rapidity to complete paralysis and an inability to breathe, which is the most common cause of death in dogs and cats. Additionally, snake venom may stop the blood clotting, causing internal bleeding, and with Tiger snakebites severe muscle damage also occurs. If you see your pet in close contact with a snake it is important that you take your pet to the vet immediately. Ring ahead and inform them of a potential snakebite. If you can, carry your dog to the car, as activity hastens the signs of envenomation. Do not take a wait and see approach, and don't waste time looking for the bite as it is rare to be able to find the bite in dogs and cats. If your pet has been playing with, or near, a snake and suddenly vomits, loses control of its bowels, collapses or has unusual breathing, salivating, dilated pupils, unsteady gait or weakness, and then appears to recover, it is highly likely to have received a potentially lethal bite, and will require treatment. If you can identify the snake, notify practice. However, DO NOT attempt to kill or catch live snakes (which are protected species). If your pet stops breathing en route to a veterinarian, you can give mouth to nose breathing to help keep them alive. Australia is lucky to have the best antivenine in the world and with intensive care, most dogs and cats bitten by snakes will survive and live a normal life.

23.01.2022 The purchase of a well bred purebred did not sentence another dog to death. The purchase of a well bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs... in shelter. Someone wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted. Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto. I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either. It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe I needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death. A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs. The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them. Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem. Your friend who impulse bought a dog at Pet Land IS contributing to the problem. That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem. Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter so she can experience motherhood or because she’s just so sweet IS contributing to the problem. Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem. A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it. It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced. If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes. In conclusion, Blaming responsible breeders for shelter dogs is like blaming Harvard graduates for crack babies. See more

04.01.2022 With the cold weather upon us, we have noticed an increase in the number of cases involving instant single-use heat packs. These packs are often used as hand or... feet warmers and may contain varying amounts of iron powder. When ingested, typically by dogs, iron poisoning may ensue. Early signs of poisoning can include vomiting which may contain blood, salivation, lack of interest in food and abdominal pain. Poisoned animals may appear to improve, but then develop progressive liver and kidney failure which can be life-threatening. Early veterinary treatment can potentially be lifesaving. If you have any of these heat packs in your home, please ensure they are kept out of reach of your pets. If your pet has ingested anything they should not have, you can call the Animal Poisons Centre on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ). Our service is free for all pet owners.
