25.01.2022 TRAINING CANCELLED Tuesday 27 October training is cancelled as the grounds are still extremely wet.

22.01.2022 PLEASE BE AWARE WHEN COMING ON THE GROUNDS An elderly female wombat was found on Sunday afternoon on the TDTC grounds; she was under a car in the instructor car park, adjacent to the main training area. While the rangers relocated the elderly lady closer to Pine Island, it's possible she may return. Please keep an eye out for this wombat when driving on the grounds and/or walking with your dog on the grounds, as she is more likely to be injured than our usual cohort of wombats. Thank you.

20.01.2022 The dangers of your dog eating compost Composting is an environmentally friendly way of recycling your kitchen waste and other compostable items. While compost ...is great for your garden, it is very harmful to your dog! Decaying food material contains many types of mold and the mold spores produce mycotoxins. Therefore, if your pet eats mold it will cause mycotoxin ingestion and your pet will show signs of tremors and imbalance. Other signs may include vomiting/diarrhea, fever and excitability. These symptoms can last for many days if not treated. Treatment should be implemented ASAP. Vomiting will be induced if ingestion has occurred a short time ago, In addition, activated charcoal should be administered to help bind and absorb the toxins within the gastrointestinal system. Intravenous fluids are also beneficial to support the body and prevent dehydration. We unfortunately have seen many extremely sick dogs from eating compost, with a few not surviving the ordeal so we urge people to keep a lid on your compost and keep it safely away from your pet.

16.01.2022 GRASS SEEDS - Need to be feared We are experiencing a fabulous season for the farmers and our gardens but as a result the grass is literallly growing li...ke a weed. We have seen a recent spike in the numbers of pets and livestock presenting with issues due to grass seeds. These invasive little critters will get anywhere and migrate through the body, causing grief to pets, vets and owners alike. The most common areas we find grass seeds are paws and lower limbs, ears and eyes but also up the nose, abscesses over the face and body, in the chest (after being inhaled) and even in the bladder (see the black and white photo below- ultrasound of bladder with grass seed inside). The photo with Dr Anita’s finger next to it was pulled from the nose of a medium sized dog this week . This dog presented sneezing with discharge out of one nostril. The biggest issue we find is because they migrate and by the time the animal presents, we don’t always find the seed first go. The earlier the animal presents, the better our chance of finding the culprit. Symptoms in our patients are dependent on the site of seed entry and include: - ears head tilt and shaking head - eyes red inflamed eyes with squinting and increased tearing - paws lameness, licking at paws and discharge between toes - nose sneezing A LOT - face or body pain and swelling of affected area which may be associated with lethargy, reduced appetance and fever - chest - coughing and increased breathing rate Prevention of issues with grass seeds: - only walk your pet in areas with short or slashed grass or keep to bare and sealed areas - keep your lawn well mowed - clip long haired dog coats during grass seed season to prevent seed lodging in the coat - check your pets coat every day and remove any seeds that have hitchhiked on the coat. Remain vigilant while grass seeds are about and if you suspect your animal is affected seek veterinary attention ASAP.

03.01.2022 SNAKE SIGHTED A black snake (possibly a red belly black) has been sighted on TDTC grounds, in the exercise yard adjacent to Pine Island Road. Snakes are always active at this time of year. It is a good idea to scout the area (for snakes, kangaroos, wombats etc.) before you let your dog(s) run free.

03.01.2022 What an amazing dog. This would have taken a lot of training.
