07.01.2022 12 dangers of Christmas With the holiday period just around the corner, we thought we would remind you to take extra care around your pets. Christmas/New year becomes a very busy time for our vets with lots of exciting new things for our pets to get into The following dot points outline what you should be looking at for this holiday season... Chocolate if you happen to find your pet helping themselves to your chocolate stash this Christmas please call your vet or use this link https://www.vets-now.com/dog-chocolate-toxicity-calculator/ to calculate if your pet has eaten a toxic amount Onions Everyone loves some onion especially on the BBQ, whilst it might be tempting to throw the extra to our pets, think twice. Onion can cause anemia which can be life threatening to our pets. Raisins another Christmas food that can be harmful to our pets, raisins can lead to kidney failure. Fatty Christmas meats fatty meats whilst yummy for yours pets can cause a whole lot of pain, fatty meats can let to pancreatitis this is a condition that maybe include vomiting, diarrhoea and a very sore tummy for your pooch Xylitol is a sweetener that is very toxic to dogs it can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure or even death. Please note this sweetener is also found in a lot of Peanut butters. Macadamia nuts toxic to our pets and can result in joint pain in the hocks and carpus leading to weakness and ataxia Fireworks whilst fireworks and fun and exciting to us, some of our furry friends might find them terrifying. Make sure tour pets are locked away in a safe place and their microchip details are up to date incase they happen to get out. Christmas decorations very pretty and something new for our pets to chew on, Christmas decorations if eaten can cause an obstruction in your pets tummy, some signs to look out for include vomiting, lethargic and not wanting to eat. Some decorations and ornaments can shatter easily causing cuts and wounds. String/ribbon these are favorites for our feline friends, very pretty and something new for our pets play with/eat, Christmas decorations if eaten can cause an obstruction in your pets tummy, some signs to look out for include vomiting, lethargic and not wanting to eat BBQ skewers another Christmas danger that can cause an obstruction in ours pets, because skewers are sharp they can cause gastrointestinal tract perforation leading to our pets becoming septic this can very quickly become fatal. Mistletoe Not really seen with an Aussie Christmas but we have 97 varieties of mistletoe here and these can be very dangerous to our pets even fatal. Dog fights with sunny days and holidays more people are out and about walking their dogs because of this we see an increase in dog fights, if you have a reactive dog or a dog that doesn’t always come straight back when called please consider keeping your dog on a lead during this busy time.

06.01.2022 SNAKES!!!!! Please be careful when your pets are outside or when on walks. Please phone Reptile Rescue on 0407 565 181 if you have seen a snake, as they can safely remove them from the location. ... If your pet has been seen with a snake or been bitten please call your vet IMMEDIATELY. If your emergency is after hours call AHVEC 1300 302 912 Tasmania has only venomous snakes and so any snake bite is potentially very dangerous. In Tasmania there are tiger snakes, copperheads and white-lipped whip snakes. Snake bites can cause a wide range of clinical signs but commonly include vomiting, neurological signs, collapse/paralysis and dilated pupils. There will often be no visible bite marks. The time between the bite and clinical signs of envenomation is very variable, it can be almost instant or anywhere up to 12 hours (unusual) and sometimes even longer in cats. The animal’s clinical signs along with blood tests will help us to determine whether a snake bite is a likely cause of the animal’s symptoms. Snake venom affects the internal body systems in several different ways; they can both be present or only one of them. Tasmanian venomous snakes have three broad types of venom Venom attaches to the junction between nerves and muscles, causing paralysis and weakness. In worst case scenarios this can result in animals muscles of breathing being paralyzed and they require mechanical ventilation By attaching to the clotting cells, making them clot throughout the body. This leads to exhaustion of the clotting cells and liver clotting factors, leading to animals being prone to bleeding. Venom attaches to the muscle cells, causing breakdown of muscle tissue. This also causes weakness and pain, but is difficult for the kidneys to excrete, and it can lead to kidney injury. Symptoms can include: Vomiting Lethargic Muscle tremors Dilated pupils Ataxia (weakness) generally sudden onset followed by collapse. Paralysis Loss of bladder and bowel control Death
