🦇 Health alert for Northern NSW residents 🦇

With a rise in sick flying foxes being reported across Northern NSW and Southern Queensland, locals are urged NOT to touch or handle any bats — no matter how distressed or injured they may appear.

⚠️ Why?
Flying foxes and microbats can carry Australian bat lyssavirus, a deadly virus similar to rabies. It can be transmitted to humans through bites, scratches, or contact with bat saliva via open wounds, eyes, or mouth.

It may be heartbreaking to see a bat in distress, but please don’t touch it. Call your local wildlife rescue service instead.

📞 If you spot a bat in trouble, contact:
WIRES: 1300 094 737
Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers: 02 6628 1866
Tweed Valley Wildlife Carers: 02 6672 4789

🧼 If bitten or scratched:
▪️Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes
▪️Apply an antiseptic with antiviral action
▪️Seek medical attention immediately for post-exposure treatment.

🚫 Remember:
There is no effective treatment once symptoms of lyssavirus begin — early action is critical.

🌡️ With warmer months ahead, bat activity will increase. Stay safe, stay informed, and help protect our community.

Finding a lump on your senior cat can be worrying. 🐱 Common lumps include lipomas (fatty tumours), sebaceous cysts, and unfortunately, cancer.

While many are benign, some require prompt treatment. Never assume a lump is harmless based on appearance alone! 🔍 Early detection is crucial for successful treatment of cancerous lumps.

If you notice any new lumps, bumps or swellings on your cat, book an appointment now with our vets to get it checked out. 📞
