20.01.2022 IMPORTANT LEPTOSPIROSIS UPDATE Unfortunately, we can confirm that we have had our first confirmed diagnosis of Leptospirosis in a dog in Balmain (ever). This h...as just followed another diagnosis in Newtown. These are the most recent diagnosis following the outbreak last year around Surry Hills and Darlinghurst. Fortunately, the dog from Balmain is currently recovering from the illness. The dog from Newtown sadly did not recover from the illness and passed away. An investigation is still underway at the University of Sydney to confirm the specifics of the infection and what strains (serovars) of the disease were involved in the Balmain Case. Currently it appears that the Copenhageni strain was involved again (which is the strain we currently have a vaccine for) but there is suggestion that another strain may have been involved too. Fortunately we have a vaccine available for the Copenhageni strain of this disease. Whilst there has only been one case documented in Balmain so far, given this is an emerging disease with potentially fatal consequences, we are recommending that all dog owners on the peninsula vaccinate their dog against this disease if they have not done so already. Basic Facts of the Disease: What is Leptospirosis? Leptospirosis is a Bacteria (not a virus) Where does it come from? Leptospirosis bacteria are usually found in the kidneys of host species of animals including cows/pigs and rodents. The host species most relevant to us in Balmain are rodents. The bacteria live in the kidneys of these animals and are excreted in the urine of these host animals. How could my dog get the disease? Your dog is at risk of contracting this disease if they drink out of stagnant water where a rodent has urinated and contaminated the water source with bacteria. Your dog is also at risk of contracting the disease if they swim in a stagnant water source (lake/pond) Finally, your dog may contract the disease by coming into contact with a rodent directly. Can I get the disease? Yes, Leptospirosis is a zoontoic disease which means we can catch the disease from your dog. Leptospirosis can cause serious illness in humans. NSW health have a good page dedicated to Leptospirosis: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au//fa/Pages/leptospirosis.aspx What does the disease do to your dog? Like humans, Leptospirosis can cause serious illness and even death in your pet. In fact, to date, every case of Leptospirosis in Sydney has died from the disease EXCEPT the case from Balmain. The disease can cause many issues including: - Acute kidney failure - Acute liver Failure - Eye disease (uveitis) - Haemorrhagic disease (bleeding disorder) What are the symptoms of Leptospirosis in my dog? The symptoms of the disease can vary depending on how it affects your dog. Some of the symptoms of Leptospirosis infection include: - lethargy - Fever - Increased thirst - Jaundice (going yellow) - bleeding spontaneously from the gums, nose, nowel) - volmiting/diarrhoea Can Leptospirosis be treated? Interestingly Leptospirosis has been present in places like Queensland for some time and many animals have been successfully treated and recovered from the illness. As a disease, if you get treatment early enough in the course of the illness, the disease can be treated successfully. Unusually, and we still dont fully understand why, the cases in Sydney have been particularly severe and have resisted conventional treatments with the majority of the animals dying from the disease despite treatment. How do I prevent my pet from getting this disease? - get them vaccinated (once yearly vaccine that should not lapse by more than 15 months) OR two vaccines no more than 6 weeks apart if they have not been vaccinated before and are starting a new course. - If your pet has not had a vaccine for over 15 months, they will need to re-start the course of two vaccines to regain immunity. - Likewise, if your pet has started a course, if you do not give the second vaccine within 6 weeks you will need to re-start the course. - Avoid rodents. - Avoid drinking from stagnant water sources. - Avoid swimming in stagnant water. If you suspect your dog is developing signs of Leptospirosis they must be seen immediately to give them the best chance of survival. If Balmain Vet Hospital is closed, please take your dog to the nearest emergency hospital.

06.01.2022 Leptospirosis Case on the Lower North Shore Further to our recent post about a confirmed case of Leptospirosis in Newtown, we have now received confirmation of ...another Leptospirosis case in the Lower North Shore. This dog was from the Artarmon / Crows Nest area. Leptospirosis is a highly contagious, potentially fatal bacterial infection. Dogs become infected by coming into contact with contaminated rat urine or soil - for example drinking from contaminated puddles or stagnant water. The current recommendation is to vaccinate all dogs living in a 5km radius of Crows Nest / Artarmon, or dogs who frequent this area. A vaccine is given initially, followed by a booster 2-4 weeks later, then yearly after that to ensure protection.

05.01.2022 The Problem With Rescuing Dogs - Kahla Delahay - Head Trainer at Valleys Dog Behaviour and Training This may be a tetchy subject, but the notion of rescuing d...ogs really, really bothers me. Most days I see videos shared of beautiful rescue stories. Terrified dogs saved with a cuddle. Aggressive dogs cured with love. I also see the photos posted of a shut down, mangy dog followed by a healthy dog with a huge smile. Its feel good! I love seeing these stories but the majority arent entirely truthful. You dont see the people that work with these dogs having to escape a kennel as a dog flies at them. You dont see them having to hold a lead tight away from them as a dog climbs the lead towards their hands. You dont see the training that goes into even getting a harness on a fearful dog. You dont see the heartache of the ones that dont make it because their behaviour is too far gone. The thing is, fearful dogs, aggressive dogs, however you want to label them do need love, but we need to stop peddling the idea thats all they need because its doing our dogs a huge disservice. When you go to a rescue, you need to be open minded. You need to accept that a lot of these dogs need training and that bringing them home, giving them a sofa and a cuddle often isnt enough. Love alone is not enough. These dogs have no obligation to be grateful you bought them a new collar and bed. Its all too easy to make martyrs of ourselves and pick the most downtrodden, the most fearful, the most aggressive and then be surprised when love doesnt cure them. Dogs, especially those that have been failed by either their previous owners or breeder, need love, yes, but they also need the following; TIME: let them settle! It can take up for six months for a truly traumatised dog to relax. More commonly its about a month or so. Dont force interaction, dont force anything. If they want to hide in their crate, let them. If they dont want to be handled, leave them be, at least for the first few weeks. BOUNDARIES: yep. They need boundaries too. Dont give your new rescue dog run of the house then be mad at him when he poops on your bed. Baby gates are magic for this! Likewise dont be letting him run loose straight away. Manage him with your lead. Teach him how to walk on lead. Teach him how to recall to you. This one is especially important to me as my own Peaches (right in the pic) was returned to rescue because she was renamed, then let off lead in the same week and unsurprisingly didnt recall and caused havoc. CALM: Dont take your new rescue dog to meet the entire extended family and then go to a busy pet shop and then go to Barry Island beach on their first week. Keep it calm. Let them settle. TRAINING: This has to start immediately. Start as you mean to go on. Reward everything you like such as eye contact, a check in, loose lead walking. Dont be surprised if there are odd behaviours either for example humping or mouthing. Use your lead, leave one on in the house if you have to, stop the behaviour, redirect to a more appropriate activity and reward the better choice. CONSISTENCY: this means doing all of the above daily. Being consistent with your training and boundaries. Consistent with your management. Consistent with your calm. Consistent with your time. If I had a for every client who has said yes I tried that but it didnt work and it turns out theyd done it on and off for only a week then I wouldnt be writing blog posts like this from the bathtub, Id be writing them from a sun lounger in Hawaii! (Lets be honest here Id be writing it from a hot tub Id installed at my multi million pound training centre) LOVE: this is the last thing they need, and they do very much need it but its part of a bigger picture. Show your love with time, boundaries, calmness, training and consistency. Give your rescue dog all they deserve and more in a less selfish way. Our goal, our picture in our mind is usually cuddling our dog on the sofa after a day at the beach frolicking in the waves. Your dog may enjoy this, but they need safety and security above all else right now. In short, yes, love your rescue dog, but realise love alone wont save them all. In my years of working with dogs, years of working with rehomed rescues, years of working in kennels and more recently months of working within a city dog pound, love is amazing, but it alone is never the cure. *** theres loads of rescues wanting to use this article for adoption packs etc and youre more than welcome!
