Could you help us out?

As part of the final year of Vet school, the students are asked to complete a written research project. Caitlin has opted to complete her final research project on common poisons to cats and dogs and an owner’s ability to identify what may be poisonous. She would greatly appreciate it if you could take less than 15 minutes to complete this survey.
Once you have completed the survey you will be able to see the answers immediately and potentially gain some knowledge regarding substances that may or may not be poisonous to your beloved pet.

Participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous. No data that is linked to you will be stored. This research has approval from Murdoch University Ethics (project number: 2023/171).

To be eligible to participate you must currently reside in Australia, be at least 18 years of age and currently or have previously own/ed a dog or cat while living in Australia.

Further information regarding this survey and project is available here:

REHOMED TO A WONDERFUL FOREVER HOME

Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to locate this little darlings owners. We are now looking for a perfect home. Behaviour here suggests maybe previously an avairy bird or cage with minimal interaction. Is very happy for people to be walking around and talking and will whistle in reply but not keen on being handled at all. Seems to be a young bird and may tame with a lot of interaction. If you think you might be able to give the perfect home please give us a ring on 95246644 :)

Please ring 95246644 if you think this bird maybe yours as Facebook is not manned for comments.

WARNING: PERTH SNAKES ARE WAKING UP

If you suspect your animal has been bitten by a snake, please contact your local vet or emergency centre ASAP and advise them you are on your way with a possible snake bite.

Snake bites can often present as subtle changes at first and progress rapidly to paralysis and breathing difficulties.

Some of the common signs of snake envenomation:
🐍 Sudden weakness or collapse or paralysis
🐍 Dilated pupils
🐍 Salivation/ drooling/ frothing
🐍 Vomiting
🐍 Breathing difficulties
🐍 Weakness or shaking of limbs
🐍 Blood in urine or lose of bladder control

To minimize the chances of your pet from being bitten, keep dogs on a short leash when walking in or near bushland and prevent dogs sniffing in areas that snake may be hiding. Prevent cats from wandering, keep the lawn short and remove rubble from around the house.

If you see your pet with a snake, do not approach, call the animal away and attend a vet clinic. Do not try to kill or catch the snake in your yard, we encourage you to look up a local snake catcher and call to get the snake removed safely.

Regular user of our dog parks? There'll be some temporary closures at St Clair Reserve and Seahaven Reserve enclosed dog parks during September while we do some w**d spraying to keep the lawn in pawfect condition for your dogs. 🐾

We’ll be tackling one section of the dog park at a time so you will still be able to access the alternate side of the park while the other side is closed for treatment. Large and small dogs are encouraged to play in the same area during this time, or visit another dog park.

Due to the unpredictable nature of weather conditions, we’re unable to confirm exact dates for the spraying but signs will be clearly displayed at the parks during the application and until the surface has dried. Treatment will be undertaken by licensed contractors under the supervision of City staff.

The operations will be monitored by City officers and we kindly ask you not to enter the area while the signs are displayed.

Contact the City on 9528 0333 with any enquiries or visit
