N.T. Vet has issued another warning considering the tick medications only work AFTER THE DOG is bitten it is going to be infected anyway. if you have a dog DONT go there. Would be far more effective in preventing carriers returning home to infect the local ticks and on to other dogs. dogs infected with heartworm were spread Australia wide after the cyclone in Darwin. now its endemic everywhere. Hervey Bay Rural Supplies. t23o JSpuonnen ats custsSh0o7f:Snrm2dedc3ei · DOG DISEASE - EHRILICHIOSIS Deadly dog disease 'explodes' across the north as the nomads return. A veterinarian working across northern Australia has sounded a new alarm over what he calls "an explosion" of cases of the deadly dog disease ehrlichiosis. Flying vet Campbell Costello said thousands of dogs had now died in the Northern Territory and more were dying daily. "I am sick of looking at dead dogs, tell people down south they have no idea what is coming." Ehrlichiosis is a disease spread by the common brown tick which was first discovered in northern Western Australia early last year. Diseased dogs or ticks have since been found in Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. Dr Costello, from Outback and Airborne Veterinary Services currently based at the Barkly Veterinary Practice at Tennant Creek, said the re-opening of borders has seen the return of the grey nomads and other visitors for the dry season in the north. He has already been called on to treat their dogs for ehrlichiosis infections, and keeps seeing a 80 per cent mortality rate. "Little Fluffy in the back of the van is either going to die up here of be a carrier when they go back home." Dr Campbell Costello working in a makeshift surgery trying to save yet another dog from a highly lethal new disease. Dr Campbell Costello working in a makeshift surgery trying to save yet another dog from a highly lethal new disease. Dr Costello said he was appalled there were no biosecurity road blocks for people travelling north to advise them of the outbreak, and warn dog owners to get two kinds of tick protection. "It just shows you we were not ready for this, or for rabies or whatever else comes in," he said. "We are getting crucified up here, we are snowed under ... 80 per cent of the dogs that come in have it. "The official advice is that ehrlichiosis is well established but that's not right, it is endemic." Dr Costello said the disease had not only decimated dog populations in remote communities but was killing backyard pets in urban areas as well. "Cases are going to explode across Australia after this grey nomad season." He said the only defence to ehrlichiosis was two forms of tick protection, there are no vaccines. He said the chewable tablets people often believed provided adequate tick protection were not enough. Cloudy eyes as the disease takes hold. Cloudy eyes as the disease takes hold. "That takes five hours to remove a tick, it is only taking 30 minutes to an hour for a tick to pass it on." He said a repellent like a Pyrethrin collar was also needed. "If you think you can just run your hands over your dog and find the ticks you can't. "I have been a vet for 11 years and I still miss them." He was alarmed there was not a greater public biosecurity alert about the disease. "It has highlighted how underprepared we are when a new disease like this gets in."

my vets would describe his condition as perfect. The fatter the shorter the lifespan he says. my horses dad was massive, he had a heart attack at 20. his son lived to 29 in fit condition similar to your boy. even won an open race against 13 horses aged from 6 to 17 at 26, beat 14 at 27 by 1/4 mile margin. no kidding. The winning margin to 2nd place he finished so fast was the lap of that track, half a mile. the announcers comment, "Aeneas first, the rest? no where? second? Where is second?" the bay in front and the chestnut to the right were among the first five to finish. It was what they call an Ironwoman race.

finally found the FDA stat figures. if everyone had access to them then at least then you have the opportunity to make your decisions knowing these figures.

In a few other spots too. some panic and just keep trying to get out at the same spot

they are not waiting for complaints, they are inspecting everyone for "compliance" interestingly they have the right to "interpret" the Pocta. so despite the fact the height of boundary fences is not in the legislation they are now running the measure and if its under 6 foot your toast now. yet 12 months ago only the pens which in the legislation must be 6 feet. has been "re interpreted" as including any area where your dog exercises.

Any one heard of this man Malcolm Roberts. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1083536528374841/posts/4204293576299105/

your lucky, only 9 or 10 years our rahms is 36 and still acts like a yearling at times, vet had just finished trimming her feet, let her go and we get to watch her pronging around us for the next 10 minutes as she celebrates her new feet. He commented, "Ive never seen that much impulsion even at the start of an endurance ride?" (he vets at many rides has done for so decades) ok she isnt a dog, one very hot tomalie welsh mountain x arabian

so says those who have not yet learned differently the hard way and to speak up is to be told, "where there's smoke there's fire". so the vast majority smoked stay silent, the only other demographic sworn to such shame and silence is? the other quote from the Hon Richard Amery's reply was to the effect "you have nothing to fear from the rspca" well my dog disappeared for 13 days, I had to pay for all the tests they ran without my or his vets consent, that proved both their inspectors and their vets "opinion" were wrong, he was perfectly healthy at the time of seizure. Could not say the same for his return, he was immediately taken to his vet and diagnosed with torn trachea and pneumonia. You have lots to fear. but you talk about what happened and still all these years later I read another here have the hide to tell me, "where there's smoke there's fire" This news story was posted 3 hours ago. they plead for more powers to seize, yet remember my dog was taken in November 1999, and Richard Amery's Letter was written in January 2000, so the power to seize based on "formed the opinion" was already in place? They are very selective in deciding when too. don't want the Cretans to realise the power they already have and take fright, do they? Might slow down the acquisition of more https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-25/tas-rspca-calls-for-law-changes-to-give-it-more-power/100241966

They have the right to inspect, you can arrange an appointment time if your lucky, but the legislation empowers the rspca to enter if they "believe an animal may be in distress" even break into your home , there is an episode of their tv program when the inspector found a ladder and climbed into an open upstairs window to assure herself that "the dog in the house had access to water." That she could see through a lower window but could not see any water bowls through any windows. she found it utterly hilarious that the "dog" turned out to be a life-size statue. Pretty chilling, considering she never queried why the dog never responded to her calls, let alone what if it had been capable of tearing her apart being a stranger entering its owners home? A scenario that has hit headlines for other unfortunates killed who were {either waking by a property or there by invitation} attacked over the years. LOL , they have the right to "form the opinion" whats mind bending is the opinion being formed does not have to be correct or any knowledge of the subject to do so. Once they decide to "form the opinion" your pet's "best interests would be served by seizure and removal to their facility" (that's a direct quote from a letter from the Pollie in charge the Hon Richard Amery, of the dept of agriculture at the time of its writing in 2000, so they have had this massive power for over 20 years) they can take it and there is no avenue of appeal save through the courts which cost mega. Lots who have learned the hard way are keeping the medical profession busy treating those who have trouble coping with the resulting stress outcomes. There is now a task force to inspect, (the nsw rspca last year were given $250,000 to eliminate puppy farms, which they rebadged as a POCTA taskforce instead, so from late november 2020 been busy inspecting registered breeder's instead, (any member of the many Pet and Ankc registers) much easier to target than find any unregistered puppy farms) and you have to have every box of of POCTA inspection ticked. or I hear people have been issued $500 on the spot fines for every non tick. (that's a new one) in previous POCTA inspections you had two to four weeks to comply) one lady had to pay 1500. No two weeks to fix as in the past. read that link of Powerlegs very carefully, that's not a recommendation. you have to tick every point in it. as that's the blue print for the inspections. There is no such thing as a hobby breeder now. you either tick all those boxes which means you are a complaint puppy farm or your toast. Its never been about eliminating puppy farmers, its all about creating everyone as a complaint puppy farm. the end goal is the rspca want a yearly flat fee payment for the "rspca approved" sign on the gate and will keep up the pressure until it is achieved.

A Barking Chance Animal Rescue tSrSg14a fpSoJunmne astgeorre 0hrge6a:dt44s · Shaken vet reveals: This is what pets do minutes before they fall asleep Every pet owner has to deal with the idea that the beloved member of the family will most likely die before you. If you grew up with dogs or cats, you probably had to say goodbye several times. This farewell doesn't get any easier with time. Most pet owners find it particularly bad to have to put their animal friends down. Watching your four-legged friend die can make you sick. Nevertheless, pet owners should be strong in these moments - for the sake of animals. Unfortunately not all master and wifey have the courage and strength to stay with their animals until their last breath. They're not there to make the transition easier and prefer to leave the vet work all by themselves. Now a vet who wants to remain anonymous has decided to share his thoughts about this decision with the public. The vet's message: ′′ As a pet owner, it's usually inevitable for your pet to die in front of you. So if you need to take your pet to the vet to bring them a worthy pain free end, I want y'all to know something. You were THEIR TOTAL LIFE LONG at the heart of their world!!! Of your own life, they may have been just a small part, but to them you, their family, were all they knew. It's a crappy decision / day / time every time, it can't be denied, and it's upsetting for us humans to lose it. But please, I beg you, DON ' T LEAVE HER ALONE! Don't let them commit the transition from life to death in a room full of strangers, in a place they can't stand. What most of y'all don't know is they LOOKING FOR YOU IF YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!! They search every face in the room for their loved ones. They don't understand why you left them behind when they were sick, scared, old or taken away by cancer and they needed your comfort. Don't be a coward because you think it's just too hard for YOU. Imagine how they feel when you leave them in their most sensitive time. People like me are every time trying to comfort them, ease their anxiety and try to explain to them why you just couldn't stay. From a tired vet with a broken heart." So true, I see my vets in tears so distressed because they have had to put someones pet down, its an incredibly stressful job. I see it as the choices we make when have them, its tough to remind yourself to remember the joy having them in your life gave you, when the day comes that you have to deal with the grief when you lose them. You make that choice again when you find another, there is a price to pay because their lifetime is less than yours regardless of the cause of their loss.

The problem lies with the people who did not realise they had any risks to weigh up and lose the plot when its their pet that is the unlucky one. The fact a percentage of vets do not give them that information at all , then what gets me is some tell the heartbroken owners that "its the breeders fault? Demand a refund or replacement." another reason to give up breeding, yet people need pets and somehow i don't think domestic dogs and cats or we who love them would be thrilled about PETA planning their extinction. Doubt it? it has its own thread in the news section. interestingly no one has bothered to make a comment, why? because even here the chant is to adopt not shop. with no realisation if all breeding is eliminated, surprise, surprise there went even be any for the rescues . As for the vets who think the only good pet is a desexed one, wonder where they think their clients will find a pet in the future? Let alone any clients , perhaps go back to uni and acquire Dr, to add to their BV.Sc A quick squizz of adoption offers isn't a promising list of breeds to be found. Suspect in future if you have a loved pet, keep saving up to have it cloned if you dont want to end up on a massive waiting list or cant even find a waiting list. Barbara Striesand did just that when she lost her favourite dog. Interesting future

They are working sled breeds, very independent and many are wonders at getting out, friends daughter in law races them and she doesn't even bother with fences, they are in roofed, concrete floored kennels. In Alaska they are on individual chain and kennel setups. they love to work and they love to have a job. They have been bred for sled work not family pets or herding so very different temperament compared to German shepherd, different as chalk to cheese. A cavalier is very interesting breed. devoted as a German shepherd and very trainable, but no initiative. Fascinating demo by a chap to show the difference in the herding breeds with initiative and the cavalier with little to none, with all three dogs CDX, a Kelpie, a German shepherd and a cavalier. Put a treat under a can and told all three it was ok to eat it. the Kelpie and the German shepherd hit the can so hard it was still in the air as they ate the treat. The Cavalier circled the can perplexed at how to access the treat. then he put all three at sit and stay. dropped a light tablecloth over each of the three and called come. both the Kelpie and the shepherd came at the run with cloth flying off them. the cavalier? turning in circles looking for the way out? any breed will develop injuries if allowed to jump at a young age, friends lab puppy she bred its owners let it jump off a veranda and it fractured both elbow joints. Looks like you have already decided The Kelpie, German Shepherd and the Cavalier have in common the strong desire to please you. As my friends daughter in law commented, her sled dogs desire is what can you do to please me? and being allowed to run in harness is their idea of heaven so they are happy doing what she loves too, flying along the trails. Actually, another breed that will lift that paw and eventually ask you, "Whats in this for me? is the Chihuahua. Very independent thinkers. notorious for being hard to house train, love dark places under furniture, (what u cant see you cant get upset over) especially when its raining. good luck, fortunate you are experienced

Found on fb "The WA Government has *fixed* the rspca debacle but are being a little bit tricky about it. In 2019 they took prosecution powers away from the rspca and now the Police do all animal cruelty prosecutions. The WA Government has never officially told the public they had stripped the rspca Inspectors of their powers, surely the public have a right to know the reasons why this radical decision was made? Now the rspca can only investigate, and prepare a brief, then the decision to prosecute or not is made by the Police. Consequently there have only been 5 or 6 genuine cruelty cases each year since 2019. So different to the hundreds of (vexatious and invented) cases Inspector Amanda Swift was pushing through the courts every year, prior to 2019. Swift has now been retrenched, she should have been prosecuted for malfeasance (abuse of power) but as usual the government, once caught out, just swept it all under the carpet and made the necessary changes to ensure the rspca would never have prosecutorial powers again. All without telling the public that one of the largest charities in Australia had stuffed up so badly that they were kicked out - there were no consequences for the rspca though, no charges were laid on the Inspectors who abused their powers for decades. Hundreds, maybe thousands of animal welfare cases were put through WA Courts prior to 2019, all of which were illegal! No attempt by the WA govt to examine and overturn those illegal prosecutions, nope, just forget about them, and move on. Nobody suffered any consequences for their illegal actions!" one state finally. how long before the other six stop the nightmare of abuses of power?

These images of them is on the net. appears to be golden smooth-coat with dark muzzle n golden smooth-coat without dark muzzle. certainly solid head . well equipped to the job done. Frankly looking at them you couldn't pay me enough to go near them. I know the saying is " blame the deed not the breed" . But whatever they are, those heads were build to tear anything to pieces. I've been bitten to the bone by three of a friends dogs when I had to crate them in an emergency to get her to hospital. but their deed ability to tear me to pieces was severely restricted by the fact they were chihuahuas who thought I was trying to steal them I think. the deed is greatly influenced by their ability to do damage too many forget.

So tragic, that poor, poor woman. Condolences to her family. three articles name a breed or breeds including the original link actually? But without photos it could be anything, n as accurate as the link below? one link included a video on how to avoid an attack which I thought would be helpful, so many people dont know the video supplied by the AVA. https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/news/queensland-woman-mauled-to-death-by-dogs-in-maryborough/news-story/3cda4c313b1c7e01016d6f309052b524 as for the rest of the news below the video ?. well according to it they were loose on the street? so much for accurate reporting

Nearly choked om my breakie this morning. Our dear Prime Minister is appealing to the World Trade Organisation, to step up to the plate as an avenue of appeal when other nations cancel imports despite adhering to the rules in place for said goods being exported from Australia. No two guesses what nation is leaving millions in value goods stuck and causing millions in losses to Australia's export Industry. So why am I incredulous? well none of our politicians are willing to create let alone enforce an ombudsman as an avenue of appeal when the overzealous, answerable to no one to date, rspca inspectors take your pets. Its the courts only, by then of course the court costs will send the target bankrupt or have to sell whatever they have. But Scotty wants the WTO to step up to the plate as world ombudsman? I heard that a not so minor miracle has occurred in WA The WA government has stripped the rspca of their powers of prosecution and handed it back to the Public Prosecutor. Apparently nothing has been declared publicly . But the person who told me, said the prosecution cases have dropped from the hundreds per year to 5. Apparently it was triggered by the case of the stolen Borzoi, that the owner was vindicated, won her case and the magistrate ordered the dogs return. Except the rspca inspector involved loaded her on a plane and sent her to SA to be adopted. She was not charged with contempt of court, in fact the pollies pardoned her? The only good outcome is she has been stood down. BUT apparently it was the trigger to the status quo finally being returned to the Public Prosecutor in W.A. Now we only have every other state to hopefully fall into place and strip all the other rspca state bodies from using their own solicitors instead of the Public Prosecutors in their respective states. Which it had always been the case. I never understood why the Public Prosecutors or the Magistrates refuse to let them, when the change meant the people being prosecuted were then subject to blackmail, "plead guilty or we will destroy you financially." This subject was directly addressed by Leon Mills, a retired Public Prosecutor some 11 years ago. To so many's dismay his well written submission was ignored by the NSW Government? Why? Just what is the agenda of treating the rspca like a sacred cow? " 3rd June 2010 The Honorable Members General Purpose Standing Committee No.5 Inquiry into the R S P C A raid on the Waterways Wildlife Park Dear Members, My full name is Leon Andrew Mills and I have resided in Gunnedah since 1982, I moved to Gunnedah as a result of my applying for the Police Prosecutors position for the Gunnedah Local Court Circuit. I continued in that position until my retirement in 2006. In 2008 I stood in the Local Government elections and was successful in gaining office as a Gunnedah Shire Councillor. I am still in that position today. The two submission I would like the Honorable Committee to consider are that the compliance section of the RSPCA 9RSPCA Inspectors) be disbanded and that all the duties that they try to perform in relation to the investigation and brief preparation for alleged offences under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 (the Act), be given to sworn Constables of the NSW Police Force in particular the Rural Crime Unit. My second submission is that all prosecutions under the Act be done by Police Prosecutors in the Local Court jurisdiction. RSPCA Inspectors obtain their powers s a result of being issued an Authority under .section 4D(2) of the Act. In relation to this Inquiry it is clear that Inspectors Prowse and French have no idea of their powers. I say that on this basis, the Act is clear in relation to what an inspector can do and is set out in Division 2 of the Act. On the Friday following the taking of the Koalas a report was broadcast on the 6.30am local A B C News that Officer Prowse said the reason for taking the Koalas was that they were “stressed”. There is no power under the Act to take an animal that is stressed. It alledging distress, as referred to in Section 24H subsection (5) of the Act, there is no evidence at all that any of these animals were suffering debility, exhaustion or significant physical injury. To support what I am submitting, the Honorable Committee would note that the Officers examined the Koalas at about 10.30-11am. They gave no treatment to these Koalas from that time until after 4.30pm, why? There was nothing wrong with them, and of course we are talking about Officers that would be expected to take immediate action if an animal was suffering debility, exhaustion or significant physical injury. These two Officers had to do something and they illegally removed these Koala for the sole purpose of the T V show R S P C A Animal Rescue. To further support this submission the head of the R S P C A Mr Steve Coleman said no proceedings would be taken against Nancy Small as a result of community outrage. I completely reject this statement. As a former Police Prosecutor of 28 years both in the city and country on rare occasions there is community outrage when some proceedings are taken. I have never before heard of proceedings for a criminal matter being abandoned or not brought because of community outrage. The reason there were no proceedings brought was that there was nothing wrong with these animals. Offences under the act are Criminal. Officers French and Prowse were supposed to be “investigating” this matter. It is interesting to note the quality of this so called investigation. No interview with Nancy Small or any other carers of these Koalas. No exhibits such as, stool samples, feed provided in the Koala enclosure, photos for identifications of each Koala, no tagging for identification. When one looks at the R S P C A Seizure Notice re this matter S N 010 16 the Officers have not even identified the Koalas to the extent of their sex. This so called investigation is absolutely pathetic and shows the quality of how RSPCA inspectors carry out their duties. The N S W police have a branch now called the Rural Crime Unit these branches operated both in the city and country. They are staffed by sworn Police who have been fully trained in investigation techniques. Many of these Officers are fully trained Detectives. It would be my respectful submission that these officers should take over the compliance section of the R S P C A. Of course it would require extra staff and resources. It would be my suggestion that appropriate funding could be transferred from the funding the State Government gives to the R S P C A to the Police Budget. Another benefit of a transfer to Police is that all Police investigations are subject to review by independent authorities such as the Ombudsman or I C A C. This is not the case with R S P C A inspectors, they answer to no one other than themselves. On the 18th of February last I attended the local branch meeting of the R S P C A as the head of the organization Mr Steve Coleman was attending. During the course of the meeting he answered a number of questions re the Waterways incident. Mrs. Dodd asked him a question being, “who can I complain to”, Mr Coleman’s response was “the Chief Inspector of the RS S P C A”. From a community point of view in this day and age it is totally unacceptable that we have an organization such as this that when a complaint comes in they investigate themselves. The subject Koalas were living in a happy well cared for environment when they were illegally removed by Inspectors French and Prowse. One of the females had a baby Koala in her pouch that Mrs Small was aware of. I have been told that the R S P C A Inspectors became aware of this fact over the 48 hours following their removal. One of the other Koalas was an elderly female that Mrs Small has described as the “Old Lady”. Mrs Small has never denied that this Koala was elderly and whilst ever in good health could live out her days in the Koala Enclosure. Both these Koalas that were supposed to being cared for by Inspectors French and Prowse are now dead so I ask this question what investigation has the RSPCA done in relation to the deaths of these Koala or am I correct in assuming that when an animal dies because of the ignorance or lack of care by that inspector no investigation takes place. This is another example as to why the Police should take over these responsibilities so that when this type of incident occurs it can be properly investigated or reviewed by an appropriate authority. I referred earlier in this document to the fact that prior to my retirement I was the police Prosecutor for the Gunnedah Court Circuit. During the 1980’s and 1990’s and in some cases still to this day besides representing Police informants in Court Police prosecutors represent many other entities, for example, Probation and Parole, National Parks and Wildlife, D O C S, Roads and Traffic Authority and the RSPCA. Over the years until about 2000, every so often I would receive a brief from an RSPCA Inspector who would be the informant usually in more than one information. If the matter was a “not guilty” plea I would present the case on behalf of the informant. If the offence or offences were proved some costs would be sought by the Informant that would usually be for witness expenses and any fodder that may have been required to give to the animals in question. No Legal professional costs were ever sought. In addition a fact I feel is relevant is that Police Prosecutors DPP Prosecutors and Crown Prosecutors have a duty to place all the evidence before the Court. Each carries a custodial penalty of 2 years imprisonment. True there is a difference in the monetary penalty but goal is the most severe penalty for a Criminal Offence. A common assault is one where the victim suffers no serious injury. For some reason the Parliament does not view aggravated cruelty as a serious offence at law. The RSPCA since about 2000, to my knowledge, have been engaging private solicitors to conduct their prosecutions and one might ask why did they move to this system. It is my submission that this practice should cease and that Police Prosecutors should conduct the prosecutions for the RSPCA. I say that on this basis. By engaging private Solicitors or barristers there is no obligation on them to place before the Court evidence that may disadvantage their case. Legal and Professional Costs come into play. If their prosecution is successful they would ask for these costs. It seems unbelievable that recently in one of their prosecutions at Narrabri an amount in excess of a quarter of a million dollars was sought for costs in a matter heard in the Local Court, and as I said before, an offence not serious at law. In conclusion it is my humble opinion that inspectors French and Prowse have no knowledge in respect to their obligations under the Act and it is clear they see their careers more in the field of TV and to add insult to injury when asked a question by myself about the TV show RSPCA Animal Rescue and their role in this incident when he attended Gunnedah on the 18th February last, Mr Coleman’s explanation was and I quote, “the Officers had been on another job with them and when they said they were going to Gunnedah the crew said we might just tag along” end quote. I informed him that I did not accept that explanation at all. It’s a sad situation when the head of such an organization is trying to assist the coverup. Yours faithfully Leon Mills Councilor Gunnedah Shire Council " Failing the decades of refusing the appointing of an appeals ombudsman at least the return to they must hand their brief over to the public prosecutor as was the case in the past. Far fairer outcome for those targeted by this organisation. So why did I choke? poor scotty wants justice, yet denied to thousands of pet owners by who? our pollies.

I made the initial post because as the FDA noted. Pet owners need to make an informed decision. That some dogs and cats will have reactions to this drug. Thus it is then their decision to decide if they wish to do so. Knowing that some do die. Its no different to the years ago when vets began using injectable Ivomec although it was not passed as safe to use in horses. On average one to three out of a hundred can die or be very ill. My friend ran an agistment place. There were 113 horses on the property, all agistee's agreed to the vet injecting the wormer into their horse. They were watched for any reactions then released back into their paddocks. Next morning two were found dead and my friends filly was very off her feed and ill, she took three weeks to recover. My own vet for over two years refused to administer it because he considered the risk too high, but after losing lots of clients who wanted it done, Did do horses for clients who were prepared to take the risk. I even asked him to do my stallion True Blue as he hated both the tube drench and worming paste. We only did it the once, he scared they daylights out of both of us. Staggering to the side and choking for what seemed like forever just as the vet removed the needle. In his case it turned out he really was choking, he had been munching some feed to keep him interested in other than the injection and stupid choked on the chaff. But my vet said he had two literally drop dead after the injection. both had been very old and their owners were prepared to risk it. As for my vet, he found any death very traumatic personally. He hated having to do it even though when he first gave up and began administering it he had done over 200 and was beginning to think maybe the deaths had been unrelated after all, before one died. To many its just routine practice. still have not found the list I lost but this is the FDA link warning pet owners to be aware of the possible side affects before they make the decision to use the product Issued 2020 https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/animal-health-literacy/fact-sheet-pet-owners-and-veterinarians-about-potential-adverse-events-associated-isoxazoline-flea This one seems to be in bigger print, but cant find the issue date https://blog.theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com/fda-fleas/

no idea who you are talking about, I never said anything about cheese. went checking, thats in a post I copied written by and owner frantic to try and save their pet. Author Posted April 12 (edited) (considering the blood brain barrier once crossed, there is no antidote for this drug. if enough gets through death is inevitable. all you can do is pray its not enough to kill.) Lots of speculation about why does it cross the blood brain barrier in some dogs and cats, but not others) well three pups are dead that were bred by my friend after being given bravecto, one survived. that was when bravecto was first the new new beaut better than anything else on the block when it was released. since that happened to my friends litter, ive warned anyone who bought a puppy from me so at least they will know what to expect if they use it. have been lucky until now. this year two pups I bred have died now, in both cases the vets have told the owners its my fault? Interesting that. one chap had his full of life no health problems, ten year old dead in a week after his vet gave him nexguard. all the standard reaction, drooling fitting and brain damage. the vet denies the nexguard was responsible. As you said no scientific evidence. just coincidence all three are dead? no prior health problems I well know how stressful ticks are, you also need to look in ears and up inside the nose too. been there there too. well the dead ones will never get ticks again. just as all my dead himalayan kittens will never get sick or ticks, I am still furious that neither the vaccine manufacturer or my vet owned up it was a faulty batch of vaccine that killed them let alone return what I paid for the doses that killed them as for compensation for 8 beautiful kittens with their whole life ahead of them, that were worth. $1800 each. interesting how quickly vets tell you to sue the owner if something goes wrong with a pup but the silence is deafening when they kill you pet? Was sheer fluke I learned about the faulty batch that killed 600 cats and kittens before the remainder was recalled. Link to someone suing them in the US https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/pet/bravecto-class-action-says-meds-arent-safe-for-pets/ There is an FDA list of dosages per year and percentage of deaths. So the FDA is aware a percentage are affected but lost the page and now cant refind it. will post when I do.

Also ignores the fact domestic dogs have been domesticated for tens of thousands of years doing exactly that and and benefited by being far better fed than those in the wild. exactly my vets opinion and as he said experience with 40 years in practice. As for the newbie vets, the majority it seems cant wait to desex every pup they see come into the surgery, the sooner the better. He calls the newbies, "licenced now, to learn at your expense" anyway its only opinion and discussion. the die has been cast and little chance of change in any form

very true. no ankc member should ever breed but to replace the parents for themselves. or your what? a business/puppy farm. eliminate, eliminate let the business puppy farms be where people can find a pet. and they are. in droves but even the x breeders cant supply the shortfall because they are dead enders too. My niece just paid $7,000 for her precious blue merle cavoodle already desexed at 8 weeks fur baby. umm since when was merle or blue to be found in that x? only the true backyard family dogs scattered in homes by the tens millions will be where pet people can find a pup that isn't going to cost them 5,000 to 10,000 n up each and they will never get POCTA inspected although they can adopt instead of shop. as long as they are happy with the fact the majority are not the breed or temperament they actually want. friends daughter dumped her "rescue" with her mum after it trashed her place, Wonder if that's why it ended up in the rspca kennels? got out and spent the next 2 hours trying to kill her three horses. only the fact the one in 60 year floods were going through her property made it a little more difficult for it to tear them apart as she had to swim after them as they fled into deeper and deeper water while my friend frantically tried to call and catch her. only after exhaustion tempted her to seek ground so she didn't drown gave her the chance to catch her. as for the horses? noses, chests, sides, necks, flanks and legs torn and punctured. the dog was having a wonderful fun time. she believes they only survived because she had three to tear at so the sum total of damage was spread between the three, saved them from being fatal if her attention had been solely on one in the time frame before exhaustion had finally caused her to head back out of the water. Frankly think its a pity one of the three had not been a dog killer. Soon as she could get it in the car it was at the vets and euthanised. the breed? ah yes never blame the breed, only the deed. trouble is, am staffs are not only cute and affectionate to humans, are also beautifully built to inflict massive damage if the opportunity presents. the horses? all needed antibiotics, stiches and ongoing attention due to the higher infections rate due to the flood water complications, but survived and now she has a few thousand in vet bills to pay off her credit card, well it passed their temperament test? Obviously not checked on its behaviour to large animals though. How did it get out? Spotted the horses after daughter and her kids had left, was strong and heavy enough to buckle the gate to get out and play. Suspect daughter nor mother will ever adopt instead of shop again unless its the small breed they wanted in the first place, trouble is there is precious few of that ilk to be found to adopt

they aren't. The difference is the ankc crumbled to the pressure of the peta loonies and changed in the stupid belief it would placate them and the fur children people who know zilch about dog reproduction. As my vet said when he learned of the new rules , well they obviously didn't bother to consult any reproduction vets first. in the "bad" old days bitches had their puppies while young and retired before they were old enough to start producing downs syndrome puppies, yep, it happens in dogs too as the mum aged. but hey we have to placate the loonie tunes they have the pollies ear. In the race to embraced so many stupid things in their eagerness to be seen to be "ethical" and "responsible" along with never sell with main register in case the puppy falls into the hands of a puppy farm, along with never breed to supply anyone with a pet, thats just being a multiplier. only breed a litter to replace the parents. Well that's gone well. precious few can access a purebred so continual loss to the tune of tens of thousands of less members, tens of thousands of less puppies born along with I suspect 90% of what is born goes on limit register. as for the percentage that are desexed before they are three months old? 22.03 million (2010) 23.82 million (2015) 25,771,295 The current population of Australia is 25,771,295 as of Thursday, June 3, 2021, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data. since according to this " 48 per cent Among pet-owning individuals, dogs are by far the most popular. Almost 72 per cent of pet-owning people – which is 48 per cent of all Australians – have a dog." whare are they going to find one, well unless they breed their own or clone what they have? Dog people are too busy suspecting every other ankc member is a puppy farmer to hound out of the membership, no chance of actually uniting, few seem to twig, "united we stand, divided we fall" applies? See so few sticking with each other and using our massive numbers, tens of thousands more than the loonies the pollies think they need to please to get their precious votes. Its nothing to do with animal welfare or they would not have drafted the POCTA, which is what? the blueprint for a commercial puppy farm and to which every registered breeder has to comply, just to keep it interesting the enforcers change the interpretation not only from week to week but even in the same day between visiting one place and then going to another which has caused massive stress, confusion and panic in the targeted demographic. To pass you are then officially a puppy farm? Umm wasn't it drafted to eliminate puppy farms? Yes we have come a long way, every step of it backwards in regards to the continuation of our much loved breeds, encouraging new members? (well that went out the window) the health of our breeding bitches (anyone else noticing how obese the girls run to so easily when its a year or more before they have another litter? what is the down side of obese? reduced litter size, bigger puppies as a result so higher risk of dystocia, or in the case of a some can go years to never go back in pup. As my vet said, dogs evolved to have their litters young. Along with so many breeds now with numbers so low if they were wild species would be on the critically endangered list. so much so that Peta in a radio interview on Melbourne cup week expect the extinction of the domestic dog in the lifetime of the present generation. even the ankc figures show how successful the program has proven. While our population grows our ankc breeder membership is looking a bit like heading for freefall into unsustainability of a significant number of breeds, but I think the organisation will continue as a pleasure group for dog lovers of any kind, with obedience, herding, community days for the remaining x breds that are available in far greater numbers, well so far but most of their breeders are desexing early to protect their prices so equally dead end kennels . No wonder Peta are so confidant and pleased but hey speak up and show you spotted the emperor has no clothes is darned dangerous I noticed that Peta's agenda is to move to the elimination of racehorses, have all horses decared companion animals and breeding as restricted as the dogs with extinction the agenda. then the move to cattle reproduction being restricted, The ground work is already laid, remember the, "we have to eliminate cattle methane"? conveniently ignoring feeding to reduce methane in only domesticated cattle or reducing their greenhouse contributing gasses is not addressing the fact that kg for kg every ruminant mammal is producing it, wild and domesticated. then what is being done to address the billions of homo sapiens busily producing what? methane! any spotted methane reducing food for the humans? The future is going to be an interesting place

Didnt realise so many products have it in them? Latest fb warning post I just saw. Don't use these horrible and damaging drugs on your pets. NEVER! THEY ARE POISON THAT WILL CAUSE TERRIBLE HARM TO THEM Dr. Karen Becker 8thSpoinSsoredg · A recent peer-reviewed study shows flea & tick products using the potent pesticide, Isoxazoline cause a reaction in 2 OUT OF 3 DOGS! Reactions include seizures, behavioural issues, muscular/balance issues, and even death. The pesticide can be found in products like: NEXGARD, NEXGARD SPECTRA, BRAVECTO, SIMPARICA, CREDELIO, REVOLUTION PLUS, and others. This pesticide is so powerfully potent that it starts killing within two hours after administration! In fact, it kills 98.7% of newly arriving fleas within 24 hours! Because of this, Isoxazoline drugs now carry a warning on their labels in both the U.S. and Canada. Even the FDA-U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning statement for veterinarians and pet parents. Facebook Live Sunday at 10am ET on The Forever Dog page to discuss the new study with Judy Morgan D.V.M, a veterinarian involved in the new peer-reviewed paper.️

AS for Australia's Fed Ex......................................... go pick up from their ware house if the sender uses them. no way they want to hand deliver. In the case of my daughters wedding present, do you want to risk a 2,500 dollar gift left in the grass beside your letter box? they refused to leave at post office and refused to give me a time to meet them beside my letter box. and no it is against company policy to bring to your door, its against company policy to phone you on your contact number to advise when the courier has arrived at your address. They prefer you to authorise the parcel being left in or beside your letter box............NO KIDDING! Was interesting at the warehouse pickup counter, wonder how fast the staff turnover is. having to deal with so many furious customers must be a horribly stressful job. most of the men in the waiting line wanted to punch out the hapless staff on the other side of the counter.
