Warning signs have been put up on Bangalee Beach, near Yeppoon warning people about the animal deaths. Authorities are investigating whether the dogs may have ingested naturally occurring toxins in dead marine animals or if something more sinister is at play. The Yeppoon Veterinary Surgery has issued warnings on Facebook, urging residents to keep their dogs off the beach. “Symptoms come on very rapidly and have included vomiting, excessive salivation, diarrhoea, wobbly gait, unusual behaviour, collapsing etc,” the post says. “Treating symptoms is usually too late and result in death, so stay away from this beach both on and off the lead.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
