25.01.2022 Only 3 puppies so I gave them more friends to cuddle. Even with eyes still closed they found them right away.

25.01.2022 I just learned so much. Thanks to: instagram.com/dr.hunterfinn tiktok.com/@dr.hunterfinn

24.01.2022 Socialising a young dog? Opportunities are everywhere! First stop was Spoonville - all those people staring. A little bit of "leave it" practice .. we don't ...want the Spoon People eaten or peed on! Take a seat for a while and watch all the bikes, joggers, scooters & people walk by. Practice reinforcing calm behaviour. People will stop & tell you how beautiful your dog is ... another fab opportunity to do some no jumping practice and keep rewarding all that lovely calm sitting. Walk past loads of other dogs & reinforce no reactivity or jumping. Stop to talk to the lady who jumped out of her car to take a photo of your dog while he poses on the rock wall. Head down to the beach & walk past babies, picnics and people on the sand ... more opportunity to reward nice walking & no jumping. Then through the playground past all creatures. Try out some new surfaces - rocks, sand, wood. Check out the pelican. Finish up with a sit under the railway bridge. Listen to road traffic and the train. Reinforce confident & calm behaviour. Maybe pick up a coffee at Freddies Kitchen Socialisation is forever - for the life of the dog! Enjoy! And, remember, everything is a training opportunity!

23.01.2022 In September 1893, (127 years ago this month), there was a dog born who would come to be known as the father of the Border Collie Sheepdog. His legacy lives on ...still today. So take a moment, pet, hug and kiss your Border Collie and raise a glass to the greatest dog that ever lived - 'Auld Hemp'. See more

20.01.2022 Some useful information I found shared by a friend. Worth a read That bite of summer has well and truly come early this year and with that heat, comes snakes. ...This article was written by Rob Timmings Rob runs a medical/nursing education business Teaching nurses, doctors and paramedics. It’s well worth the read #ECT4Health 3000 bites are reported annually. 300-500 hospitalisations 2-3 deaths annually. Average time to death is 12 hours. The urban myth that you are bitten in the yard and die before you can walk from your chook pen back to the house is a load of rubbish. While not new, the management of snake bite (like a flood/fire evacuation plan or CPR) should be refreshed each season. Let’s start with a Basic overview. There are five genus of snakes that will harm us (seriously) Browns, Blacks, Adders, Tigers and Taipans. All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white). When bitten, a snake injects some venom into the meat of your limb (NOT into your blood). This venom can not be absorbed into the blood stream from the bite site. It travels in a fluid transport system in your body called the lymphatic system (not the blood stream). Now this fluid (lymph) is moved differently to blood. Your heart pumps blood around, so even when you are lying dead still, your blood still circulates around the body. Lymph fluid is different. It moves around with physical muscle movement like bending your arm, bending knees, wriggling fingers and toes, walking/exercise etc. Now here is the thing. Lymph fluid becomes blood after these lymph vessels converge to form one of two large vessels (lymphatic trunks)which are connected to veins at the base of the neck. Back to the snake bite site. When bitten, the venom has been injected into this lymph fluid (which makes up the bulk of the water in your tissues). The only way that the venom can get into your blood stream is to be moved from the bite site in the lymphatic vessels. The only way to do this is to physically move the limbs that were bitten. Stay still!!! Venom can’t move if the victim doesn’t move. Stay still!! Remember people are not bitten into their blood stream. In the 1980s a technique called Pressure immobilisation bandaging was developed to further retard venom movement. It completely stops venom /lymph transport toward the blood stream. A firm roll bandage is applied directly over the bite site (don’t wash the area). Technique: Three steps: keep them still Step 1 Apply a bandage over the bite site, to an area about 10cm above and below the bite. Step 2: Then using another elastic roller bandage, apply a firm wrap from Fingers/toes all the way to the armpit/groin. The bandage needs to be firm, but not so tight that it causes fingers or toes to turn purple or white. About the tension of a sprain bandage. Step 3: Splint the limb so the patient can’t walk or bend the limb. Do nots: Do not cut, incise or suck the venom. Do not EVER use a tourniquet Don’t remove the shirt or pants - just bandage over the top of clothing. Remember movement (like wriggling out of a shirt or pants) causes venom movement. DO NOT try to catch, kill or identify the snake!!! This is important. In hospital we NO LONGER NEED to know the type of snake; it doesn’t change treatment. 5 years ago we would do a test on the bite, blood or urine to identify the snake so the correct anti venom can be used. BUT NOW... we don’t do this. Our new Antivenom neutralises the venoms of all the 5 listed snake genus, so it doesn’t matter what snake bit the patient. Read that again- one injection for all snakes! Polyvalent is our one shot wonder, stocked in all hospitals, so most hospitals no longer stock specific Antivenins. Australian snakes tend to have 3 main effects in differing degrees. Bleeding - internally and bruising. Muscles paralysed causing difficulty talking, moving & breathing. Pain In some snakes severe muscle pain in the limb, and days later the bite site can break down forming a nasty wound. Allergy to snakes is rarer than winning lotto twice. Final tips: not all bitten people are envenomated and only those starting to show symptoms above are given antivenom. Did I mention to stay still. ~Rob Timmings Kingston/Robe Health Advisory #vrarescue #snakebite

15.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS..... The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting pet owners and veterinarians to be aware of the potential for neurologic adverse events in ...dogs and cats when treated with drugs that are in the isoxazoline class. Posted on the FDA website 9/20/18: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting pet owners and veterinarians to be aware of the potential for neurologic adverse events in dogs and cats when treated with drugs that are in the isoxazoline class. Since these products have obtained their respective FDA approvals, data received by the agency as part of its routine post-marketing activities indicates that some animals receiving Bravecto, Nexgard or Simparica have experienced adverse events such as muscle tremors, ataxia, and seizures. Another product in this class, Credelio, recently received FDA approval. These products are approved for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations, and the treatment and control of tick infestations. The FDA is working with manufacturers of isoxazoline products to include new label information to highlight neurologic events because these events were seen consistently across the isoxazoline class of products. The FDA carefully reviewed studies and other data on Bravecto, Credelio, Nexgard and Simparica prior to approval, and these products continue to be safe and effective for the majority of animals. The agency is asking the manufacturers to make the changes to the product labeling in order to provide veterinarians and pet owners with the information they need to make treatment decisions for each pet on an individual basis. Veterinarians should use their specialized training to review their patients’ medical histories and determine, in consultation with pet owners, whether a product in the isoxazoline class is appropriate for the pet. Although FDA scientists carefully evaluate an animal drug prior to approval, there is the potential for new information to emerge after marketing, when the product is used in a much larger population. In the first three years after approval, the FDA pays particularly close attention to adverse event reports, looking for any safety information that may emerge. The FDA monitors adverse drug event reports received from the public or veterinarians, other publicly available information (such a peer-reviewed scientific articles), and mandatory reports from the animal drug sponsor (the company that owns the right to market the drug). Drug sponsors must report serious, unexpected adverse events within 15 days of the event. In addition, they must submit any events that are non-serious, plus any laboratory studies, in vitro studies, and clinical trials that have not been previously submitted to the agency, on a bi-annual basis for the first two years following product approval and annually thereafter. The FDA continues to monitor adverse drug event reports for these products and encourages pet owners and veterinarians to report adverse drug events. You can do this by reporting to the drugs’ manufacturers, who are required to report this information to the FDA, or by submitting a report directly to the FDA. To report suspected adverse drug events for these products and/or obtain a copy of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or for technical assistance, contact the appropriate manufacturers at the following phone numbers: Merck Animal Health (Bravecto): Phone 1800 230 833 Email http://www.bravecto.com.au/contact Elanco Animal Health (Credelio): Phone: 1800 226 324 Email: www.elanco.com.au Merial (Nexgard): Phone Boehringer Ingelheim Animal health Customer Solutions: 1800 808 691 (9am-4pm AEST) Zoetis (Simparica): Phone 1800 814 883 Email [email protected].

14.01.2022 One of the First questions I ask clients who come to me for advice on behavior or training for obedience is, Why did you Choose this breed? So many times the... answer is, Because they are really cool dogs! This, of course, is not a valid reason for choosing one breed over another. When you see a dog doing what he was bred to do, harkening back to his ancestors whispering into their ears, telling them exactly how they should perform the task....well, it can make you weep. EVERY dog needs a job, a purpose to validate them. A job that makes them stand proud and causes his tail to wag and his heart to smile. Dogs were bred to work alongside humans, and they consider that a high calling.....along with educating us..... And if one does not have sheep for a Collie or rabbits for a Beagle, or rats for a Terrier, there are still other functions for them to perform within their households. Our job is to find that activity, introduce it to the dog, and enjoy the companionship. There's a woman that jogs with her GSD every day by the Indiana K9 Learning Center. She puts a prong collar on her huge working dog and off they go. We had a nice visit over the fence the other day. I complimented her on her dog's manners. I stood about six feet from her when we initially met and he was relaxed and unconcerned. (And no, I didn't ask if I could pet him). That's when I find out what a mean owner she is. Her large GSD carries a doggy style backpack with water in it and she's been told that's mean. She stopped at a yard sale, bought some books, put them in the backpack and she was told that's mean. She's been chastised for running her dog with her because running a dog is mean. I'm not sure why someone would feel that a 100 pound working breed isn't capable of carrying 10 pounds of books but someone did. I'd say that person has never looked up what a GSD was bred for. It's bred for work! I know a Canadian that has huge herds of sheep free ranging on hundreds of acres. He has two border collies that he sends out as a team to round them up and bring them in to be counted. They'd go out before the sun was up and by mid afternoon they'd have them gathered in a large pen for him. He'd do a head count, open the gate and off they'd go. Imagine the intelligence and duration those dogs have to do that seven days a week! Now take those dogs and put them in an apartment. Yowza! How about the frustrated woman who brought her German Short Haired Pointer in for classes...AKC's website said the breed is "easy to train" so she got one. She's a white collar wife with a young son who lives in a suburban neighborhood. That breed may be easy to train for a hunter or someone that is experienced with independent, strong willed breeds but she was really struggling with him. His energy level, strong personality and tenacity is a requirement for the job he was bred to do but a typical owner will really struggle with this breed. Can we all agree on something right here, right now? Every dog that is in a home, in a shelter, in the show ring, or anywhere else comes from someone that was breeding dogs for a purpose. It may be way back in the dog's pedigree but it's there. Hunting, fighting, chasing, pulling, retrieving, protecting, patrolling, killing...your dog laying at your feet right now has ancestors that did at least one of those tasks very, very well. Those instincts don't disappear when they walk through your front door and become your family pet. There's a reason terriers are tough! Because you have to be a tenacious little shit to go down a hole after a rodent bigger than you knowing you're likely to get bitten. There's a reason you can't get your beagle's nose off the ground during agility classes. Watch a youtube video of beagles in the field! There's a reason your whippet wants to chase every squirrel in the yard. Watch a youtube video of sighthounds lure coursing! There's a reason that cattle dogs go in low and nip anything moving. Watch a youtube video of them working cattle! Here's the kicker...a cattle dog that goes in low and nips is probably the result of someone's responsible breeding. Same with the beagle, the whippet and the border collie. Those are desirable behaviors in each breed. Understanding the propensity of certain behaviors in breeds and mixes will help owners understand where the behavior is coming from. It doesn't mean the dog gets a free pass for the behavior, but someone looking for an agility dog may not want to go with a bloodhound "because I just love their ears" or a herding breed "because I want a dog to lay around all weekend with." All of us in the dog industry, including shelters and rescues, have a responsibility to the dogs we're in charge of and the people that want to add them to their family. We're responsible to educate the uneducated. - Michelle Steigmeyer, Indiana K9 Learning Center Book reference: Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds by Caroline Coile, PHD. #SupportResponsibleBreeders #ResponsibleOwners #PurposeBred #Purebred #Dogs

14.01.2022 Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn't recognize me. Being a nanny I thought I woke him up and he was having a night terr...or. Sunday, he was still acting weird. I realized that I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off. Sunday afternoon, he was feeling better. Today at work, my dog sitter said that he wouldn't come out from under the bed. It was very odd as he is a happy dog. I came from work early and again, he was very confused about who I was. So I took him to emergency vet. It turns out that the tea tree oil I was using in the diffuser is toxic for dogs. Thankfully the test showed that his liver was ok but we weren't out of the woods yet. He was given fluids under his skin to get the toxins out. The vet and the poison control are saying that they see these cases often now that the popularity of essential oil is growing. Please make sure that the essential oils you are burning are not toxic for your pets. Here is a list of essential oils not to use if you have a dog at home Anise (Pimpinella anisum) Birch (Betula) Bitter Almond (Prunus dulcis) Boldo (Peumus boldus) Calamus (Acorus calamus) Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) Cassia (Cassia fistula) Chenopodium (Chenopodium album) Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) Garlic (Allium sativum) Goosefoot (Chenopodium murale) Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) Hyssop (Hyssopus sp. with the exception of Decumbens) Juniper (Juniperus sp. with the exception of Juniper Berry) Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) Mustard (Brassica juncea) Oregano (Origanum vulgare) Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) Red or White Thyme Rue (Ruta graveolens) Santolina (Santolina chamaecyparissus) Sassafras (Sassafras albidum) Savory (Satureja) Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) Terebinth (Pistacia palaestina) Thuja (Thuja occidentalis) Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) Please share this story as it may save someones precious furry family member!

07.01.2022 To all the offleashers, Why do you walk your dog without a leash? No, I get it your dog is amazing and well trained. Maybe you and your dog have been through ex...tensive training and your dog knows a slew of verbal commands. Or maybe your dog is a service dog or a therapy dog that visits sick kids in the hospital. I get it, you have a good dog. The truth is, I don’t care about your dog in that moment. When my fiancé is running with our dog leashed and your dog is unleashed, my concern is for my loved one and our dog, not you or your unleashed dog. But of course your dog would never do anything wrong or spontaneous, I get that too. Dogs may not mean to do anything, but they’re animals and they’re going to react instinctively. When I’m working with my horse, I don’t think she’s going to purposely spook, but I’m prepared my whole ride for that one time she does take off with me on her. It’s simple, animals are wired to react instinctively. You said your dog was okay to approach, but before my fiancé knew it, your dog had latched on to our dog’s head. You stood there and did nothing. My fiancé had to fall to the ground and basically suffocate your dog to get her to let go of our dog. If it had been me running with our dog instead, she would be dead. We had to bring our dog to our veterinarian and she stitched our dog’s ear back together and the large gash on the side of her head. Now she has stitches, has to wear a cone for two weeks, and whimpers in pain. Not to mention the long-term effects, like PTSD and fear of other dogs that she didn’t have before. I hope and pray that our dog doesn’t live with these residual effects the rest of her life. Next time you want to walk with your dog off leash in a public rec area, think twice. You almost took our dog from us too soon. I wouldn’t even have been able to say goodbye to our girl if your dog did end up killing ours. I don’t know how to make you care about other people and their animals, but please let this be a lesson to you. LEASH UP YOUR DOG. With love, Heartbroken Dog Owners

05.01.2022 This is my foster dog Marley. He’s cute as hell. His cuteness has been both his curse and his blessing in life. Marley bites. Bad. Marley was a cute puppy. He w...as treated like a stuffed toy by a young child who wasn’t supervised with him. When Marley got big enough he started to defend himself from this unintended abuse the only way a dog knows how. With his teeth. At ten months old Marley was surrendered, covered in mats because the family who bought him didn’t understand the needs of a hypoallergenic dog. By this time the damage was done. Imagine not washing your hair for months the whole time someone was dragging you around like you were a teddy bear. So what do you do with a dog that’s snappy and won’t let you get close to it? You lock it in a cage. You let your frustrations get to you and you shove him into the cage because he’s biting you while your trying to get him in there. So now he obviously has issues with the cage. Marley was sent to a training facility that deals with aggressive dogs. I have worked with some very aggressive dogs. Marley is not an aggressive dog. Marley has no trust in people because all they have ever done is wrong him. Marley is terrified to be touched the wrong way because all his life he has been shown that touch only leads to pain and hurt. They said he had no respect and that he was unfixable and unadoptable. When I first heard his story I laughed, I thought he was a poodle with an attitude. Now that I have known him a while I know better. I can see the pain and the suffering this dog has been through. The animals don’t have a voice but if you know what your looking at they will tell you their story. Marley now has a voice, mine, and I am telling his story. Marley is going to be with me quite a while so he can learn to trust people again, working at his own pace towards his recovery. Marley is well trained. He can sit, stay, come, lay down, roll over, Fetch (exceptionally good at Fetch), and high five. He is house trained. He follows the rules of the house. He walks well on a leash. Marley does not need training. Marley needs to recover. I’m writing this with Marley at my feet. A dog that was a gift to a small child. A dog that was supposed to be therapeutic. A dog that was made into a monster. So this holiday season please remember; a dog is NOT a gift. A dog is NOT the responsibility of children. A dog (any dog) is NOT to be left unattended with children. A puppy/new dog is NOT a therapy dog. A therapy dog is a therapy dog. It takes years of expensive training to turn a dog into a therapy dog. You don’t buy them from some donkey selling designer puppies out of their backyard. A dog is NOT an impulse. If you want a non shedding dog be prepared to take care of that hair. If you want a German Shepard be prepared for all the training required. If you want a Dalmatian be prepared to deal with a stubborn pain in the ass. At the beginning of this I said his cuteness was his curse and blessing in life. The curse is obvious after reading this. The blessing? If Marley looked like a Pit bull he would have been put down a long time ago. Update: I adopted this dog in March. He is now an obedience master working towards his intermediate agility, and he helps me train other broken dogs. You can follow him in his new life on Instagram @john.is.for.the.dogs

04.01.2022 FRIDAY SPECIAL POST - and a timely reminder how our beautiful bees and our beautiful furry friends are unfortunately not best friends

02.01.2022 I saw my boy Jasper today. What a beautiful well mannered boy he is.

02.01.2022 ***TICK SEASON ALERT*** Rachel here from Paw to the Floor Pet Services. I had first hand experience at 6:30am this morning to a cat suffering from the effects o...f a paralysis tick. I was woken to her vomiting very violently, it was more distressing than usual so it caught my attention immediately. I noticed a few things, at this stage we didn't know she had a tick, so hopefully this helps other people. - wide dilated eyes - not happy or willing to move much - breathing very shallow - raspy breathing - pale gums - coughing / looking vomity / gagging I honestly thought she had something stuck in her lungs or tummy... we decided a trip to vets was required and proceeded to get ready and call ahead. ONLY while cuddling her and listening to her chest with my ear to her side did I run my hands over her just in the right place to feel a little lump on her shoulder. And yep, there it was. Never Ever in 7 years of PTTF had I actually seen a P-tick. But I knew exactly what to do... I found a mini desert fork and slid it right up to the base of the fork prongs, then twisted really slowly in a circle and bam, the little big bugger came off! It was still alive too! We bagged it in a zip lock and off to the vets we went.. her breathing was pretty bad but strangely enough she did perk up a bit straight after like, thank god that's off me! Scout has a flea and tick collar on, it's only 1 week since she's had it on but please don't think that this means they are totally protected! Apparently NOT! The 'spot on the back of the neck treatment' is apparently much better than a collar.... She is in an oxygen tank and responding well. Lucky it was only a mild case (apparently, but felt like a bad case to me, distressingto see her like that) and I wonder even if the collar helped a little with it? Not sure. Scout lives in #newcastle so please pass this on to you friends and share. Not even a week into spring and the ticks are about! Educate yourself on ticks and how to remove them safely! The sooner they come off the better chance they have at survival. All fingers crossed she should be well enough to go home tomorrow.
