Would your pet like to help injured animals?
Dear Friends and Neighbours,
Please read these updates on pets that have been hurt in the Springwood area bushfires, and what you can do to help.
What your best mate may not be telling you – Dr Russel talks about Ripley.
In recent years ticks have become active in winter, so you must use tick protection all year round. In August 2013 we say a cat from the Faulconbridge area that had 3 mature paralysis ticks on it - see photo of cat with tick on nose. Both dogs and cats need year round tick protection, but there are many products you must not use on your cat. Protecting your cat against ticks is a tricky situation - many of the very effective products that are safe and effective in protecting dogs from ticks are poisonous to cats.
