HOT SPOTS
Hot spots occur predominantly in dogs (rarely in cats) secondary to an underlying skin condition which causes itch or pain. If a dog is uncomfortable in a particular spot, they may lick the area repeatedly to alleviate some of the discomfort. If this happens continuously and obsessively, that area will lose fur, become red, and will start to exude a serum that causes the fur around the edges of the hot spot to become matted. Eventually, the hot spot itself becomes the uncomfortable itchy thing, even when the underlying condition may have already resolved. It becomes a vicious cycle, where a small itchy spot can turn into a large painful sore. Treatment has to be multifactorial. The key is to stop the dog from licking the area (eg. with an e-collar), while also administering medication (topical and/or systemic) that will alleviate the itch and make the dog comfortable.

A big heartfelt thank you🐾 to everyone who voted for us, stood as a candidate, donated and volunteered for us - we love you and would not exist without you! Thank you for putting your trust in us. 🫶🐨🐱🐸

It was a tough election for the Animal Justice Party and the animals. We had a fake news campaign falsely accusing us of wanting to ban pets to deal with, and it was difficult to cut through and get animals on the political and media agenda. Despite the challenges, we did well!! 🚩

We achieved over 4% of the vote in the Blue Mountains, Cessnock, Cabramatta, Blacktown, Wollongong, Macquarie Fields, Mt Druitt and The entrance, and came very close in Campbelltown✊️✊️✊️. These results mainly occurred in areas where we have a strong presence and active regional groups who campaign and engage with their communities all year round. If it wasn’t for our strong regional structure we would not have achieved these results - big thank you to every member of every regional group. ❤🖤👏👏👏

But as you all know our focus was always the Upper House and getting Alison Waters - Animal Justice Party Lead Candidate for NSW Upper House elected. That is what we have all been working so hard for. We are in a very similar situation to when both Emma and Mark were elected 4 and 8 years ago respectively. Again, we did not secure enough primary votes (number 1 votes) to get elected outright so we will have to wait for the distribution of preferences. It is very early in the count and very hard to speculate, but we are hopeful and we are in with a good chance of winning one of the final seats!!!!🌞

The final result will not be known till the 20th of April so please keep your fingers and toes crossed. An excruciatingly long wait…We will keep you posted and give you updates as the count progresses. ⏳

Thank you all once again and if you want to join the movement for animals and haven’t signed up yet, you can here: https://nsw.animaljusticeparty.org/membership - Sign up! ✏️

Girls only!
Periv***ar dermatitis occurs when moisture and dirt get trapped in the fold around a female dog’s v***a. In severe cases, this fold may have to be surgically altered to prevent recurrence of infections. In milder cases the dermatitis can be treated topically with medications prescribed by your vet. When these medications are applied, its is important to prevent your dog from licking them off. An e-collar is a very useful tool in preventing your dog from licking her v***a during treatment.

An Innocent Assassin

We have all experienced a splinter at one point in our lives. They get under your skin, causing pain or even infection. Grass seeds lodge themselves in this same manner but the consequences can be disastrous to a dog.
A grass seed is shaped like an arrow allowing smooth entry, and most have an awn that fans out. This action makes it very difficult to extract the seed without an incision. Many dogs are quite resilient to pain, making it difficult for owners to identify the problem until the point of entry becomes red, swollen and infected. It is absolutely crucial at this point that you take your dog to a vet urgently for a surgical removal of the seed or the little culprit might cause an abscess or even travel to through tissue to cause deeper infection in vital organs.
Most common spots that dogs experience grass seeds are on the paws between the digits, the eyes, ears, or inside the mouth. Check with your vet if you notice an excessive licking, redness or swelling. To protect your dog, frequent brushing and thorough inspections should be done regularly. Licking, either before or after removal should be discouraged with a recovery collar.
