12.01.2022 **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.

12.01.2022 **ALERT** As the weather continues to warm up, we have noticed a significant increase in calls regarding pets ingesting compost. But did you know that your ...compost pile could be a serious hazard to your pet? Some pets (particularly dogs) are attracted to compost. Dogs will often put a lot of effort into trying to access compost and will readily eat it if given the chance to do so. So, what is the risk? Not only can compost contain certain discarded human food scraps which may be toxic to your pets, but it also encourages the growth of microorganisms that can result in serious complications when ingested. Mould can flourish in compost, and some strains produce toxins that are potentially life-threatening to our pets if eaten. These toxins, known as tremorgenic mycotoxins, stimulate the central nervous system resulting in profound tremors and convulsions. Clostridium botulinum is another microorganism that can grow in low oxygen environments such as compost. Ingestion of the botulinum toxin produced by these bacteria can result in a severe and persistent paralysis, known as Botulism. In its most severe form, botulism can cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles. Whilst botulism is rare, it is potentially life-threatening. If you are the owner of a mischievous pet and a compost pile, you need to put measures in place to ensure they cannot eat the compost. Compost bins that are secured with locking mechanisms work great. Other options may include fencing off the area or restricting your pets' access to that area of your garden. You should also avoid placing highly attractive food items into the compost, such as meat and dairy products. Please help us raise the awareness of pet poisoning by sharing this post with any pet-owning gardeners you may know, or to any Facebook gardening groups you may belong to. If your pet has ingested any compost, please call the Animal Poisons Helpline immediately on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for advice, even if your pet looks well. Our service is free for all pet owners. For pet poison updates, sign up to our mailing list at animalpoisons.com.au/stay-up-to-date

03.01.2022 Who else loves a dog dressed up as a pumpkin? Or a cat in a batman costume? Happy Howl-O-Ween! As fun as this day can be, extra caution is needed when you hav...e pets. Keep your pet safe by making sure you’re familiar with these common Halloween dangers. Chocolate there will be lots of it! The darker the chocolate the more harmful it will be to your pet. Ingestion might lead to a fast and irregular heart beat, changes to blood pressure and excitability. Sugarless lollies, chewing gum and baked treats may contain the sweetener xylitol that causes low blood sugar (due to insulin release) and liver damage in dogs. Costumes not poisonous, but can have a number of negative effects on your pet including stress (in the reluctant participant), injury from tripping or falling, injury from bumping into things especially if it impairs their vision, sores and cuts around the legs, neck and ears from ill-fitting costumes, injury from catching the costume on another object, and intestinal obstruction should they eat part of the costume. Escape with doors opening and closing, lots of strangely dressed people on the streets, the raucous behaviour of sugar-filled children (and adults), the risk of escape and becoming lost increases. Keep your pet secure in a quiet area of the home if possible and ensure their identification details are up to date. Grapes, sultanas, currants and raisins - these can cause kidney failure in dogs. Be mindful in particular of these grape products that can be ‘hidden’ in baked goods like breads and muffins. Burns lit candles add to the spooky ambiance of Halloween but are a fire and burn hazard when your pet is around. If your pet does get burned by a candle, once the area is made safe, run cool water from the tap over the affected area for at least 10 minutes then seek veterinary attention. Glow-sticks/Jewellery popular with trick-or-treaters, some pets (especially cats) chew on them, releasing the bitter material inside which is an irritant that can cause vomiting and diarrhoea. Don't forget to add our phone number (1300 869 738 for AU, 0800 869 738 for NZ) to your mobile phone contacts so you can get rapid help when out with your pet; it could save their life.

02.01.2022 **ALERT** Over the past 24 hours, the Animal Poisons Helpline has received several reports of dogs eating beached bluebottles (Physalia physalis) in the Auckl...and area. If you are in Auckland, please be cautious when taking your dog to the beach. If you have any dog owning friends or family that live in or around the Auckland region, please share this alert with them. Stings to the mouth and throat can be very painful, and in some cases may result in swelling in the throat and breathing difficulties. If your dog has ingested or chewed on a bluebottle, we recommend removing any adherent tentacles with a protected hand (you can use your own clothing) and taking them to a veterinary clinic for assessment and observation. 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.
