Irene's Brisbane Animal Ambulance has been a vital service, dedicated to providing emergency and non-emergency transport for pets across Queensland. Their mission is to deliver immediate, professional and compassionate care and transport for pets, including critical transfers between veterinary clinics. Irene’s commitment to the animals is unmatched, and her efforts often extend to transporting injured wildlife to the RSPCA during her travels.
Recently, however, Irene’s custom-built animal ambulance broke down, jeopardizing the essential service she provides 24/7 to pets and wildlife throughout the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Northern NSW. While she continues her work with a smaller vehicle, it’s far from ideal for handling critical cases. Repairs to the ambulance have been quoted upwards of $30,000, yet due to the vehicle’s age, a reliable, long-term solution may involve purchasing a new ambulance, with costs above $90,000!
Irene has set up a GoFundMe page. Your support can make a tremendous difference in getting this service back to full strength. Every dollar raised will go directly toward repairing or replacing the ambulance, ensuring that Brisbane Animal Ambulance can continue its life-saving work. Thank you for helping keep this crucial service on the road, ready to provide urgent, compassionate care whenever it’s needed most.

🚨**ALERT**🚨

🐍 Please be aware that snake encounters are once again becoming more frequent as the weather begins to warm up in many parts of Australia. All bites (including suspected bites) should be regarded as life-threatening.

Signs of a snake bite in pets include:

☠️ Sudden weakness or collapse, which may be followed by transient improvement
☠️ Vomiting
☠️ Laboured breathing
☠️ Paralysis, starting with the hind legs
☠️ Loss of bladder and bowel control
☠️ Shaking or twitching of the muscles
☠️ Blood in the urine

Snake bites are a time critical emergency and if your dog or cat has been bitten by a snake, immediate veterinary assessment is recommended in all cases. It is vital that you keep your pet calm and as still as possible. Try to limit any movement (including walking) where possible and transport them to your nearest veterinary practice immediately, even if they look well. If possible, the veterinary clinic should be phoned to alert them that you are on the way. The sooner your pet is treated, the better their chances of survival.

❌ DO NOT try to catch or kill the snake for ID or for any other purpose
❌ DO NOT apply a tourniquet
❌ DO NOT wash the bite site
❌ DO NOT cut, suck or apply any other treatments to the bite-site

Whilst veterinary treatment of snakebite can be lifesaving, it can be very costly in many cases. This is especially true if antivenom is required or if secondary complications from the bite occur. Pet insurance provides peace of mind and protection in the event that your pet is ever bitten. Our platinum sponsor Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance are currently offering two months free pet insurance in the first year of coverage for Animal Poison Helpline followers. Visit https://bowwowinsurance.com.au/poisons/ and enter AP368 at checkout to take advantage of this offer.
