⚠️EASTER CHOCOLATE WARNING FOR PETS⚠️

Chocolate 🍫 is poisonous to dogs 🐶 mostly because of its theobromine content, which dogs are unable to metabolize effectively.

All types of chocolate are on the do-not-eat list but cooking chocolate, cocoa and dark chocolate generally have the highest levels of theobromine, and ingesting just a small amount of any of these can do a dog serious harm. Cooking chocolate is typically the most dangerous.

Once eaten, theobromine stimulates the nervous system, often causing an increased heart rate, increased urination and even seizures. The more theobromine that has been ingested, the worse the symptoms, so be on the lookout for the following signs of chocolate poisoning:

🐶vomiting
🐶diarrhoea
🐶increased thirst
🐶excessive panting
🐶shaking

If your dog has eaten chocolate, or if you suspect he has, give us a call or if it is out of our opening hours contact WAVES emergency veterinary hospital as soon as you can.

The vet will ask questions about the type and quantity of chocolate eaten and the weight and breed of your dog. This information helps to determine whether a toxic or lethal amount has been ingested and will dictate the type of treatment needed.

For any of our beach 🏖 loving dogs 🐶 and clients, please keep an eye out for any sea hares that may have been washed up on on the beach. They are very toxic to dogs, should they come in contact with them.

‼️WARNING FOR DOG OWNERS - PLEASE SHARE‼️

We're hearing reports of sea hares washing up again on beaches in Perth and the South West. 😲🐶

Have you spotted any at your local?

Margaret River vet surgeon Amy Forsythe says the slimy football-sized slug-like sea creatures are getting worse - showing up on more beaches in WA and making more pets sick every year.

A dog with suspected toxicity poisoning has already made its way into her care this season.

The most common symptoms of sea hare toxicity in dogs include increased excitement, inability to walk properly, tremors, vomiting, lethargy, and seizures.

If your dog comes into contact with one of these molluscs, take it to your nearest vet IMMEDIATELY!

They can be FATAL to your pooch!

Pet owners beware, a chemical that can be found in trace amounts in some COVID-19 rapid antigen test (RAT) kits may be toxic to animals if ingested. 🧪⚠️

The WA says RAT buffer solutions may contain a chemical called sodium azide which could be a risk to small animals such as puppies, small dogs, cats, kittens, small mammals, and birds.

"As Rapid Antigen Test kits become part of our lives, please ensure you take the care to keep them out of reach of animals and dispose of them properly to minimise the risk to your pets," the RSPCA said.

"Please call your veterinarian or contact the Animal Poisons Helpline on 1300 869 738 urgently if an animal has ingested even a small amount of the buffer solution."

2. If pets are outside ensure you have adequate shade for them to try and stay cool. Ideally keep them indoors if possible.
3. For pocket pets having frozen water bottles in their cages to allow them to cool down.
4. Ensure not to leave your dog in the car, even for 1 minute, keep them safe, leave them at home.
5. Restrict only walking dogs to early mornings or late evenings to reduce them over heating or burning their paws on hot pavement.

Just a reminder to keep your pets up to date with their vaccinations. Perth has had some recent cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal parvovirus.

Feel free to give us a call to check your dogs vaccine status is up to date.

Click here to book your dogs vaccine appointment online https://sagevets.azurewebsites.net/BookingApp/ if you know your dog is overdue.

Perth pet owners are being warned to vaccinate their dogs, and ensure boosters are up to date, after cases of the deadly parvovirus have been recorded in suburbs both north and south of the river.

RSPCA WA has issued an urgent parvovirus vaccination plea after a horror weekend which saw seven puppies and an adult dog die from the deadly virus.

"We are urging owners to please check their dogs are vaccinated, and that boosters are up to date. If cost is a concern, ask your vet about a payment plan," RSPCA WA said.

"The cases this weekend bring the total number of deaths in December so far to a heartbreaking 17 – and those are just the ones we know about.

"Reports to RSPCA WA in recent weeks have come from Cannington, Waikiki, Medina and Geraldton. Parvo is highly contagious and can stay on surfaces, and in environments, for months on end."

The City of Wanneroo also alerted residents that two dogs were reported to have contracted parvovirus in the Wanneroo area.

"Owners said both dogs had visited Edgar Griffiths Dog Park in the days leading up to their diagnoses," the city said.

Yanchep Vet, Dr Sam Sorensen, said she was forced to close her practice to puppies yesterday and conduct a deep clean and disinfect of the surgery and car park after a dog with parvo had to be euthanised.

In Perth's south, the Kwinana Veterinary Hospital said it was "incredibly distressed" to report there were confirmed cases of fatal parvovirus in the region.

"In addition to a first recent case in Medina, we now have confirmed cases in Parmelia and Orelia," they said.

The Dogs' Refuge Home of WA said common symptoms of parvovirus include vomiting and diarrhoea, lethargy, and loss of appetite.

"If the virus is detected early enough, it can often be successfully treated with fluids and antibiotics, but if left untreated, there is an up to 91% mortality rate.

"Parvovirus is especially dangerous in young pups, but dogs of all ages can be infected.

"If you suspect your dog has parvovirus, please seek veterinary attention immediately.

"Make sure you call your vet ahead of time, so precautions can be put into place to protect the other dogs that may visit the vets."
