Sadly this boy’s injuries were too severe and the kindest option was to give him his wings.

The vets suspect that he was unowned but will leave up just in case he was owned or someone was feeding him.

Thank you to the lady who picked him up and didn’t leave him to suffer. 🙏

EXTREMELY URGENT‼️

Gorgeous Bono is in urgent need of foster or forever home.

He is very sweet boy with people, but needs a confident home without other pets or livestock.

Incredibly sad outcome.💔

There is no fool proof way to keep pets 100% safe, but keeping them inside in warner weather when left alone, can significantly reduce chances of being bitten. If you have chooks, birds, small animals or a rodent issues there will be a greater chance of snakes entering yards. Installing snake mesh won’t stop snakes all together, but may reduce them entering yards and keeping yards clear of any debris or wood piles can also assist.

Teaching a solid leave it command through counter conditioning can help in situations where owners are present.

We just want to point out that using electric collars does not give guarantees that dogs won’t be bitten by a snake. Unfortunately we hear of situations where owners have spent significant funds, only to lose their dogs to snake bites. Or sadly the dog has gone on to develop serious fall out behaviours such as anxiety, fear and redirected aggression.

You can also read about it here from a vet:

We must do more for all species of animals used in inhumane sports and all forms of electric shocking used on animals. 🚫

“The paper is co-authored by Dr Di Evans, Senior Scientific Officer from RSPCA Australia, and compares the regulation and enforcement of the use of electric prodders in the thoroughbred horse racing industry with those in rodeos.

“We know inflicting electric shocks on a horse can cause significant pain,” Dr Evans said.

“This is why the use of electric prodders in horse racing is prohibited in all jurisdictions under animal welfare legislation ... but the same cannot be said for rodeos.”

Media: New study shows Australia must do more for the welfare of horses in rodeos. Read more: https://rspca.au/KrJt9E

It’s disappointing seeing “trainers” using BOTH prong and electric/shock/e-collars at the same time on dogs.

It takes very little skill to inflict pain and discomfort on a dog, so if a trainer needs these devices to get results, perhaps question their qualifications and abilities.

We strongly advise against the use of choke chains and prong collars. ⚠️

These types of collars can potentially cause permanent damage to the windpipe or the soft tissues around the neck, not to mention being painful for the dog.

Ask our team if you need help to fit an appropriate flat collar and/or harness, available in our waiting room 🐕
