14.01.2022 With hot weather like today, your dog could experience heatstroke. Heatstroke is an emergent life-threatening condition that can be rapidly fatal. Cases require urgent vet care: prompt recognition & treatment is crucial in saving lives. Effects of heatstroke:... Organ failure, cognitive dysfunction, swelling of the brain, internal bleeding, blood abnormalities, & death What can cause heatstroke: - Warm, humid temps & poor ventilation - Lack of shade - Inadequate drinking water - Excessive exercise - Brachycephalic breed (short-nosed dogs such as Bulldogs & Pugs), obesity, pre-existing heart & respiratory disease, age extremes (very young or very old) & pets with long/thick coats Signs of heatstroke: - Panting & drooling - Bright red tongue & gums - Convulsions, seizures or muscle tremors - Vomiting or diarrhoea - Glazed eyes - Rapid heart-rate - Dizziness & lack of coordination - Staggering, weakness, or lethargy What to do if you suspect heatstroke: - Remove them from the hot environment immediately - Phone ahead to your nearest vet to advise your pet will be arriving shortly as an emergency - Cool your dog quickly by spraying lukewarm water to the fur & skin. Avoid cold water or ice as these will constrict the blood vessels in the skin, impairing heat loss - Lay your dog on towels soaked in tepid water - Fan your pet to maximise heat loss - In practice, lay your dog on wet towels in the car & leaving the windows partially down to create a breeze as you drive to the clinic.

06.01.2022 **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. For more pet poison updates, subscribe to our mailing list at animalpoisons.com.au/stay-up-to-date

06.01.2022 WARNING: SURGICAL PICTURES Why is it important to check your dog daily for grass seeds? Grass seeds get caught in dog fur using a sticky residue, and weasel their way through the skin and into the body cavity. ... Common areas are the feet and belly, but it's possible to latch onto any part of the body including the face, eyes and inside the mouth. Sometimes the material will break down in the body, but more often that not, they don't and continue to travel through tissue. Not only can they be painful and itchy, they can cause abscesses (infected masses) or can lodge into organs. Running your fingers over your dog daily is a great way to detect grass seeds (and to give your pooch a massage!) Make sure to check in between the toes and paw pads, under the ears and armpits. If you notice any wounds, lumps or have any concerns, please call The Dog Clinic on 6227 9586 to book in for a consultation to examine it. Grass seed removal is a common procedure throughout many vet practices - prevention is better than treatment!

05.01.2022 **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
