Healthy Treats and Boosters for your dogs.

UPDATE Saturday 10/8/19
We have had a number of people contact us with regard to those that have been affected by this, so it’s hard to tell how many victims there are in total, but we BELIEVE FROM REPORTS that there 12 affected and 8 lives lost. We cannot be 100% sure of numbers as we are feeding off our community and the rescue and vetinary network. Please keep in mind that not everyone involved wants contact with media.

What we definitely know:

❗️- Areas affected are Newstead and Newfarm Dog Parks
❗️- The poison is thrown in with and rolled in mince like meat as well as pieces of meat off cuts. Some dogs were believed to ingest the meat around the dog park and not actually in it.
❗️- The first poisoning (that we know of) was reported to a vet in the Newstead area on Thursday afternoon, and the most recent at an vet on the city fringe in the early hours of this morning.
❗️- Brisbane City Council has been sited at both dogs parks inspecting

We encourage everyone to be vigilant no matter where they take their animals as those responsible could strike again.

UPDATE: NEWSTEAD has also had reported baitings today: we are now aware of 8 deaths in 24 hours!!

❗️❌ DOG BAITING WARNING ❌❗️

NEWFARM AREA BRISBANE

We have received 2 reports in the last hour from different vets within this area of a number of dogs that have been brought in having ingested bait in new farm park dog park or new farm park.
2 dogs passed away overnight with another few in critical condition

Their former owners blamed the drought and cost of feed, but the RSPCA hopes the animals will get a second chance at life.

SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST?

Definitely longer than a year!

According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Schultz, Ph.D. – “ Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions.”

What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)?

Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds:

“Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001).

Severe and fatal adverse reactions include:

•Susceptibility to infections.

•Neurological disorders and encephalitis.

•Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression.

•Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001)”

SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST?

According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): “Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter”

Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz:

Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines:

Distemper- 7 years by challenge
Parvovirus – 7 years by challenge
Adenovirus – 7 years by challenge
Canine rabies – 3 years by challenge

The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems!

What’s a titer test?

A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet.

It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination.

Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE!

According to Dr. Dodds:

“Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance.”

Don't give in to those puppy dog eyes!!!! No chocolate for your dogs.

It sounds like good life advice (for all humans), but you should never give your pets chocolate as it can lead to fatalities – especially for dogs. Definitely keep all your chocolate for yourself and be sure to store it out of your pets' reach.

A POPULAR dog food brand is being tested by authorities after an “extremely rare” and incurable illness that infected and killed police squad dogs, and also wiped out service dogs interstate.

Some people need a good kick up the arse.

A Labrador was rescued yesterday from a locked car by Toowoomba Police after a concerned passer-by noticed the distressed animal.

The dog is recovering with RSPCA Queensland after receiving care and a lot of affection from officers at the station.

Please everyone, don’t leave your pet in the car. Temperatures can quickly rise to dangerous levels even when parked in the shade or with windows down. https://goo.gl/W5kkxv

This is what I've always thought about vaccinations. Pharmaceutical company's making more and more money with unnecessary vaccinations.

The owner of this dog needs to be held accountable for this. Please share.
