🎃👻 Halloween Safety Tips for Your Pets!👻🎃

With Halloween right around the corner, it's important to keep our furry friends safe from spooky surprises! 🎃 While we humans love a good treat, did you know that candies and chocolates can be harmful even dangerous for pets. Here are a few tips to keep your pets safe this Halloween:

🍬 Keep treats out of reach! Chocolate, lollies, and especially sugar-free candies containing xylitol are toxic for pets. Even small amounts can lead to serious health issues.

👻 Pet-friendly treats only! If you’d like to include your pets in the Halloween fun, give them their own pet safe goodies.

🚪 Trick or treating caution! The excitement of Halloween night can be overwhelming for pets. If you expect visitors, make sure they’re in a safe, quiet space to keep them calm.

From all of us at Vet Around The Corner, we wish you a safe and fun Halloween!

Stay spooky and safe! 🎃🐾

⚡️⛈STORM PHOBIAS - Storms can be very scary for some of our canine furbabies, and it’s never nice seeing them feeling so unsettled and afraid 😣. Some common signs are escape, inappropriate soiling, vocalising, destructive behaviours, trembling, hiding, pacing and salivating.

🤷🏻😱WHAT causes storm phobias?
Phobias are exaggerated irrational responses to something (regardless of whether they cause harm). They develop from fears and can often be triggered by something harmless. 🌩With storm phobias, it could be the change in barometric pressure, gusts of leaves and wind as the storm approaches, or small rain showers.

🐶🐕HOW can I manage my dog during a storm?
🌈Check weather reports and monitor events such as New Year’s Eve for risk of exposure to noise sensitives💥
😌Create a safe haven for your dog in an appropriate area of the house
🙉Background “white noise”, sound muting cage covers may reduce the intensity of noise
🤗If it helps your dog feel more settled, talking calmly, long smooth strokes and body contact may help

OPTIONS of treating storm phobias:
1. 🎧Desensitisation: This is exposing your dog to the scary stimulus starting at a very low level so they are not scared. This may be helpful if your dog’s fear is the sound of thunder. Playing a recording of thunder noises at a very low volume and gradually increasing the volume as your dog gets used to the volume may help.
2. 💆🏻‍♀️Relaxation training: Train your dog to settle and relax on their bed before any scary sounds are added. Encourage calm responses to cues (eg “lie down”) and follow with a tasty treat.
3. 🩺💊Depending on severity, anti-anxiety medication may be needed and should be given 1 hour before the storm develops to have a chance to work. These can be prescribed by your vet. If your dog has other behavioural issues, your vet may prescribe a daily anti-anxiety medication, with an additional therapeutic agent to be used for storms.

🚨PARALYSIS TICKS: Tick cases are seen year-round in Queensland, but especially between August and March (known as Tick Season).

One particular tick us Queenslanders need to be extra careful about is the PARALYSIS TICK (as pictured). Although tiny in size, paralysis ticks are one of the most dangerous parasites that can cause severe illness and even death to our pets.

🦘🐨Ticks normally attach themselves to native animals such as wallabies, kangaroos and possums, so please be extra careful if you live in or near bush land areas with wildlife as ticks will be prevalent!

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS
🚨Paralysis of the hind legs
🚨Unsteady staggering walk, uncoordination
🚨Dry cough, gagging and/or vomiting
🚨Change in your furbaby’s meow or bark
🚨 Laboured breathing
🚨 Refusal to eat
❗️ Note: Some pets may not show hind limb paralysis at first, initially exhibiting a gurgling choking cough, however their condition will quickly deteriorate.
🚑 If you notice any of the above symptoms, please contact your vet and search for ticks on them
🚑 If you find a tick on your pet, remove the entire tick immediately and contact your vet.

WHAT CAN I DO?
✅ Check your pets daily for ticks 🔎 Feel for small lumps and remember to also check under their collar, between their toes, lips and gum line, around their butt, and inside their ears.
✅ Use flea and tick preventative treatment to effectively protect your pet from the risk of ticks.

🤷🏻‍♀️ There are many preventative treatments available, and it can be confusing and overwhelming choosing the best preventative for your furbaby. Vet Around The Corner is committed to helping you tailoring the best preventative treatment for your pet to ensure they remain protected and safe.
