19.01.2022 Central Victoria is due to experience a huge storm in the coming hours so plan ahead NOW. - Bring your dogs and cats inside BEFORE the storm hits; - Do not rel...y on Electric Shock (perimeter fence) collars stopping your dogs running off. Every time we have a storm local fb feeds are strewn with lost/stray dog photos and many of them sadly have shock collars on. - If you are with your animal during a storm IT IS OK TO COMFORT. This will not reinforce fear. This is also TRUE with puppies too, for whom this may be the first storm they have experienced; - Create a safe haven for your pet. Work with what YOUR DOG WANTS. Allow them access to the bedroom, if they want to hide under the bed, or to the bathroom if they try to get in there, (many dogs feel safer in bathrooms during storms and fireworks); -Background white noise (TV, radio) can help; - Chewing is self soothing so some pets may be helped by providing something they can chew (bone, Kong, etc); -Some animals are so fearful of storms that they REQUIRE THE USE OF MEDICATIONS. Speak to your vet or vet behaviourist about this. Avoid using the drug called ACP (it does not help with the fear). There are better, more appropriate medications that your vet can discuss with you. - Unfortunately it is likely too late to organize medications for today's storm. BUT if your pet appears overtly distressed during it, plan ahead for the next one. Organize a vet consult ASAP to discuss your individual pets needs. STORM PHOBIAS GET WORSE, NOT BETTER, OVER TIME WHEN LEFT UNTREATED.

16.01.2022 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!
