President’s Message

“I think we are all pinching ourselves that we are now in August and that more than half of 2020 has passed. We are adjusting

to the “new normal” and monitoring the troubling developments south of the border. Our thoughts are with all those at government, health and community level dealing with these COVID-19 issues.

We are continuing to look for opportunities for our members to participate in our dog events and sports whilst ensuring compliance with the State Government COVID-19 requirements. It is also a high priority for your Board and the Office that members be kept safe during these times. It is great that Queensland is currently travelling so well with zero cases continuing to be reported as I write this on 28 July 2020 just after our Board meeting last night. For this reason, it was then decided that our Dogs Queensland office will be reopening to members over the next month or so. Watch Paw Prints for updates on this.

Conformation Judges Committee (CJC) Open ShowsI gave a detailed report on the very successful Open Shows held on 18 and 19 July to support our trainee judges in the Paw Prints published on 24 July 2020. We have another weekend of shows happening this weekend on 1 and 2 August 2020. The word was certainly out and entries closed for a number of the groups within hours of opening on line! So quickly in fact that I missed entering my whippets! A big thank you to all who have supported our trainee judges at these events.

I am now able to update you more on some aspects of these CJC Open Show weekends. Those who attended know that an additional layer of COVID-19 requirements and processes were implemented to allow these events to occur. And this comes at a cost. As I mentioned in Paw Prints the last weekend incurred a loss of just over $4k. However, some of the necessary expenditures e.g. for Face Masks, Thermometers, Wrist Bands, Hand Sanitisers and Road Safety equipment will be utilised at our next CJC Open Shows and Hands On Examination

weekends and at other Durack events as well.

It is important that our trainee judges in Zones 2 and 3 are also supported in these training opportunities and routinely at least one judge from one of those Zones is allocated a judging appointment by the CJC with the attendant flight costs paid by Dogs Queensland. These show weekends are an important way of trialling the new requirements for shows and events at Durack and enables continuous improvement of our processes. In addition, the CJC has been able to identify areas where savings can occur whilst maintaining strict compliance.

I am delighted to confirm that we now have Royal Canin sponsoring these CJC Open Shows. Royal Canin has been a great supporter of our Dogs Queensland events.

Breed Specialty Weekend – 12 and 13 SeptemberWe recently called for expressions of interest from Breed Clubs for the holding of Breed Specialty Championship Shows on 12 September. Responses were received from 7 breed clubs. As a consequence, it was decided to extend through to the Sunday with 3 specialty shows approved for each day and offering the Rottweiler Club the opportunity to schedule its show on an alternate weekend with the German Shepherd Club.

Informed by the requirements and outcomes of the CJC Open Show weekend, the Board also decided that the holding of an all breeds championship show at Durack would be a “bridge too far” until at least December 2020. Breed specialty shows are more manageable but will nonetheless necessitate an extra layer of financial and people commitment by the individual breed clubs and Dogs Queensland to allow these events to happen.

of transaction times for various office services. It is pleasing that turnaround times are going well. For instance, litter registrations in July were happening within 5 working days where documentation was in order and within 7 working days where a send back to the member was required. And interestingly, 2020 litters are not far behind 2019 litters numbers wise at this stage.

University of Queensland Architecture StudentsI am pleased to announce a collaboration with the University of Queensland School of Architecture to enable their second-year students to individually develop projects for our Durack site. Site visits will happen in August. It is proposed that each student design –

1. A small cabin for short stay accommodation that sleeps two adults and up to three dogs.

2. New facilities that replace the existing headquarters and clubhouse and accommodate on the site several added programs including: a museum/library space for exhibiting and storing archives, artefacts, photographs, memorabilia; a consolidated storage and workshop space that replaces all the shipping containers; and a system of new shade structures and bleachers.

They would do the cabin project in the first four weeks and part of the second task would be to site and arrange twenty of these cabins together.

It will be most interesting to see the ideas and plans generated by these creative architecture students!

6 DOG WORLD August 2020

– Coral Pethers

Back in 1975 my husband and I were sent to Papua New Guinea as part of the team building a hydro-electricity station. It was a construction town built specifically for this project and we were up in the highlands, a long way from anywhere. A short time after we got there one of the men was sent back to Australia and he was looking for a new home for his dog. Kara was a German Shepherd/Choux cross and two years old.

I have had many dogs since then but Kara was my first dog as an adult and, to this day, is the smartest dog I ever had. When Peter brought her down to my house on the day he left I kept her inside till late in the afternoon. I then took her up to his house and let her run all around and check out the empty house. After a while I called her and we went home. From that moment she became my dog and went everywhere with me.

Kara would lie at my feet under the desk at work during the day and sleep inside our house at night. One of my extra duties was to run the bi-weekly pictures at our town hall. Kara would walk down to the hall with me, wait till I opened up and then go home. My husband said she would sleep at home until all of a sudden she would wake up and he would let her out of the yard. She would come down to the hall and be there ready to walk me home.

The international company supplying and installing the hydro equipment was Yugoslavian so there were many men without their families and they lived in single men dongas on site. Frequently, we would have some of them for a meal at our house and they really enjoyed their slivovitz (a rather strong spirit) and, consequently, would be a bit unsteady for the walk home. I would tell Kara to take them home and they would hang on to her collar and she would take them back to the dongas. She never lost one.

A morning cuppa was often enjoyed at a neighbour’s house and, living in the wet tropics, it was the custom to kick your shoes off at the door. Kara would come with me and wait outside while I had my cuppa. However, if I was longer than an hour, when I came out she and my shoes would be gone. She would take them home. I often had a barefoot walk back to our house.

I can still remember vividly the day I gave Kara a shinbone to enjoy in the backyard. Hearing a ruckus outside I went out the door only to see Kara and a very large wedgetail eagle having a Mexican standoff over the bone. Luckily, the eagle decided to back off and flew away without any harm to either dog, bird or bone.

When the project was completed some years later and it was our turn to return home to Australia we had to make the decision on what to do with Kara. Back in those days dogs coming into Australia had to be in quarantine for six months. After the free lifestyle Kara had enjoyed we felt we could not subject her to that so we rehomed her with a local family so that she would have a forever home for her remaining years.

Kara was the first stepping stone in my adult life training and working with dogs and I could not have asked for a better teacher and companion. It started me on a lifelong enjoyment of the dog world.

Breed Feature

FRENCH BULLDOG

Whilst small in stature, their vibrant and “clown like” personality gives them the heart of a larger dog breed and this makes the

Frenchie a fun breed to live with.


HISTORY

There are varied explanations about the French Bulldog’s origin. Some speculate that artwork and skeletal finds of the Bulldog known as Chincha in ancient Peru closely resemble the French Bulldog. Others have suggested the Spanish Bulldog featured in the creation of the French Bulldog.

Most agree it is probable that today’s French Bulldog originated from the toy Bulldogs brought to France by the lace workers from Nottingham in England, following the Industrial Revolution. These miniature Bulldogs are thought to have been crossed with Terriers and Pugs and thus the French Bulldog evolved.

Quickly the French Bulldogs became popular among Parisian women and then became a status symbol of French society including artists, businessmen and aristocrats owning Frenchies. Toulouse Lautrec and Degas painted pictures that included French Bulldogs and French author, Colette wrote stories about her beloved Frenchies. Wealthy Americans visiting Paris also fell victim to the charms of the Frenchie and took them home to America. In historical paintings and photos, the French Bulldog subjects are often seen wearing very fancy handmade artisan leather collars with a big rough around them that was made from real badger fur.

The French Bulldog is one of only a few breeds which owes its existence to the efforts of breeders in different countries – France, America, England and Germany. Certainly the continuance of the unique bat ears at the turn of the century was due to America and there was immense popularity for the Frenchie in America from a century ago and which has continued for at least 30 years.

Currently the French Bulldog is experiencing a popularity never seen before in the history of the breed and appears in the top 10 breeds list in the UK, America, Europe and here in Australia.

TEMPERAMENT AND SUITABILITY

The comical and affectionate Frenchie is a charmer. Unlike breeds that were originally developed for jobs like hunting, herding, tracking or guarding, the Frenchie’s purpose today is exactly what it was when it was first bred – to be

a friendly, happy companion for humans. Whilst small in stature, their vibrant and “clown like” personality gives them the heart of a larger dog breed and this makes the Frenchie a fun breed to live with.

The French Bulldog is somewhat dependent upon human companionship and it’s not recommended that they be left alone for long periods time. They get on well with other animals and enjoy making new friends of the human variety. They happily adapt to life with singles, couples, or families and do not require excessive amounts of exercise. The Frenchie enjoys a daily walk of short to moderate length. In summer, this walk should be taken in the cool of the early morning or the late evening – NEVER in the heat of the day.

APPEARANCE AND COLOUR

The French Bulldog should be sturdy, compact and well muscled in body with a short smooth coat. Being a brachycephalic breed, the Frenchie has short face and snub nose sitting inside a square head frame. An essential feature of the breed is the hallmark “bat” erect ear carriage. Equally important are his round, dark eyes.


A cross between intelligent and comical, the Frenchie’s expression has a melting softness with alert and curious characteristics.

Coat colours can vary and can be brindle, fawn or pied. There can also be quite a variation in the brindle colour from an almost solid black colour to quite striped – commonly referred to as a tiger brindle.

MAINTENANCE AND HEALTH

The French Bulldog’s short, easy care coat sheds minimally and can be easily maintained with weekly brushing using a medium-bristle brush, to remove shed hair and keep him looking his best. Brushing promotes new hair growth and distributes skin oils throughout the coat to help keep it healthy.

A Frenchie’s ears and facial folds should be kept clean and dry. The Frenchie’s nails should be trimmed regularly, as overly long nails can cause him pain.

The French Bulldog is generally a fairly sound dog, rarely suffering from heart, eye, skin problems or epilepsy. However, the combination of the brachycephalic head, short body and screw tail increases the potential for hemivertebrae and breathing difficulties. This includes Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome and Hemivertebrae.

Back problems are also not uncommon in the older Frenchie, from five to six years of age. A spine and hip grading scheme is in place for the French Bulldog and is a highly recommended breeding practice for all breeders in Australia.

LIFE SPAN

The life expectancy of the French Bulldog is 10-14 years, however most frenchies tend slow to up in their later years of life – usually after the age of 7 years old.

FRENCH BULLDOG OF QUEENSLANDThe Club’s mission is to “support the


development and welfare of the purebred French Bulldog within Queensland”.

It has a strong, committed membership and each year members and Frenchie lovers are welcome to participate in family focused, Frenchie friendly, social events that are coordinated by the club. These events are aimed at bringing the greater breed community together with a day of fun activities for all Frenchies and their owners alike.

Man has been hunting game with the help of his dogs throughout history and coursing has a long history. Paintings in 4,000 year old Egyptian tombs depict coursing with long-legged hounds.

Lure Coursing is currently one of the fastest growing ANKC dog sports, with dogs of all breeds competing in trials.

The modern version of Lure Coursing was developed in the early 1970’s by Lyle Gillette and other California Sighthound fanciers whose dogs hunted jackrabbits in open fields. They developed coursing with a mechanised lure as a safer, more controlled sport, recreating the physical requirements of open field coursing, and allowing them to continue testing the functional capabilities of their dogs.

Lure Coursing in most countries is limited to Sighthounds – dogs that traditionally hunt by sight. In Australia, Lure Coursing is not restricted to Sighthounds only and allows for all breeds to compete (including mixed breeds).

The lure used in Australia is made of strips of white plastic bags tied to a rope which is run around spindles and pulleys on a mechanised loop, especially designed for this task. It is a continuous loop which travels in a pattern, imitating the zig zag movement of a rabbit or hare being chased over an open field and ends up back at the starting point.

A course is usually run over 600 metres – 1,000 metres and the dogs are judged against five scoring criteria, to give a total score out of 100:

• Enthusiasm (15 points);

• Follow ( 15 points);

• Agility (25 points);

• Speed (25 points); and

• Endurance (20 points).

Lure Coursing is a wonderful sport for fit, healthy dogs that have a love of running and the ability to sight and follow a lure.

LURE COURSING

AFGHAN HOUNDS

– Julie David, Secretary Dogs Queensland (Lure Coursing Subcommittee)


Lure Coursing has been running in Queensland since the 1980’s and it was the founding members of the Queensland Sighthound Association, formed in 2012, who played a large part in the development of the rules and regulations which were first recognised and came into effect on 1 January 2015. After working with the first edition of the rules (with minor amendments) for five years, the current set of rules came into effect on 1 January 2020 and are available on the ANKC website.

The ANKC Lure Coursing Rules have been written to include two streams in Australia: the Sighthound stream and the Coursing Ability (CA) stream for all other breeds. The rules also allow for dogs on the Associate Register to compete in the CA stream.

The Sighthound stream includes the following breeds: Afghan Hounds, Azawakh, Borzoi, Deerhound, Greyhound, Ibizan Hound, Irish Wolfhound, Italian Greyhound, Pharaoh Hound, Saluki, Sloughi and Whippet. Basenji and Rhodesian Ridgebacks are also included in this stream and are eligible to compete for Sighthound titles.

Lure Coursing is a sport where you can train pups from young to be excited by chasing a plastic bag, but for the most part, it’s pure instinct.

There aren’t too many physical requirements for the handler at a coursing trial, but you must be able to hold your dog back at the start to avoid them breaking early, and with some dogs it’s like holding back a steam train! It’s also very important to have reliable recall so that you can call your dog back at the finish of the course.

All dogs compete to pass the Junior Courser title. This is a prerequisite for all other titles. The dogs are not scored, but rather the Judge decides on a pass or fail basis, on the dog’s ability to lure course successfully.

All dogs must qualify with a minimum of two JC qualifications, then be able to show that they run clean (e.g. not try to play or interfere) with another dog to be eligible to compete in Lure Coursing trials.

WHIPPETS COURSING IN TRIO

RHODESIAN RIDGEBACKS HUNTING THE LURE

BADGER WAS TITLED IN LURE COURSING IN THE USA, SO WAS ABLE TO ASSIST THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN ANKC LURE COURSERS TO QUALIFY


The Sighthounds compete for titles from Senior Courser, Field Champion (Singles, Open, Veteran), through to Lure Courser Excellent (Singles, Open, Veteran). Dogs in the CA stream compete for titles from Coursing Ability through to Coursing Ability Master.

Chasing an artificial lure is not an instinctive behaviour for some dogs. Some breeds were bred to hunt live game, not plastic bags, and some were not bred to hunt at all. Genetics seem to play some part, so you might look for a litter where there are proven lure coursers in the pedigree, but this is still not a guarantee.

Perhaps a better guide is the dog’s personality and attitude. Is your dog active and alert and confident? Does your dog watch leaves blowing along the ground and other quick moving objects? Are they keen to chase them? If the answer is yes, there is a good chance that you may be watching a future lure courser. This isn’t fool proof though. Some ball mad dogs lure course, some don’t. Some dogs who don’t ball chase, lure course like speed demons!

There are now several clubs affiliated with Dogs Queensland that will be running ANKC Lure Coursing Trials:

• Queensland Sighthound Association Inc

• American Staffordshire Terrier Club of Qld

• Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of Qld

SALUKI

AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER

SALUKIS

COCKER SPANIEL


• Dalmatian Association of Qld Inc

• Whippet Club of Queensland

• Brisbane Lure Coursing Club Inc

As with other Dogs Queensland activities, the Lure Coursing enthusiasts have had to cool their heels in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are happy to say that we are slowly working at getting back to a “new normal” with some training days and hopefully even trials in the coming months. The various clubs have been able to source other grounds to run training days and trials and we are all looking forward to being able to run on the Lure Coursing Field at Durack in the near future.

How To Help

A PUPPY (OR DOG)Settle Into Their New Home– Dr Fiona Patterson BVSc Mars Petcare Australia

With pet adoptions spiking in recent months, many of us have tapped into the many benefits pet parenthood brings. I’ve certainly seen a lot of puppies on my daily walks and in my daughter’s school class alone, I calculated that a whopping 25% of her classmates have acquired a new puppy or dog in the past four months!

Adding a new family member is a big decision and importantly how the new pet is integrated into the household is critical to a smooth transition. While there will always be bumps in the road, preparation and planning will make all the difference.

Here I outline my tips for helping settle a puppy into their new home and these suggestions are also applicable to dogs of all ages.

Prior to your puppy’s arrivalNow is the time to look at your home from a different perspective – that of your puppy’s!

Firstly, consider which areas of the house you will allow your puppy to have access to, and which

areas will be off-limits. For areas your puppy won’t be allowed, think about how you will block their access. A puppy or child gate is very useful as it allows you to still move about your house, while preventing your puppy from entering any areas they shouldn’t.

Inside the homePuppies are by nature highly curious, so make your way around your house in a systematic way – moving room by room, looking for potential hazards.

• Secure any exposed electrical or window blind cords out of a puppy’s reach.

• Ensure all personal belongings such as shoes and clothing are stored away and not accessible to a puppy.

• Carefully check if there is anywhere in the house where a puppy may get stuck or anywhere they may be able to fall from.

• Children’s toys can be chewed and small items swallowed, so secure them out of a puppy’s reach.


• Use draw closures in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry to prevent a puppy from rummaging through cupboards and ingesting dangerous items or chemicals.

Outside the homeOnce you have puppy-proofed the inside of your home, it’s time to consider the outside. Take a walk around your property looking for potential hazards.

• Check that your property is completely secure for a puppy. Look for any holes or gaps in the fence through which a puppy could escape, and if found, have them attended to.

• Assess your fences to ensure they are high enough to prevent a puppy from jumping over.

• Ensure that a puppy can’t dig their way out.

• Look for any chemicals such as cleaning agents or paints that may be within a puppy’s reach. If found, secure them in a safe spot.

• Ensure garden-related items such as fertilisers, potting mix, weed/snail/slug killers and other chemicals, as well as garden tools are also kept well out of reach.

• Some common garden plants can be toxic to pets such as azalea, begonia, oleander, cyclamen, tomato and lilies. Perform a thorough garden inspection.

New Puppy ChecklistNow that your home is puppy-proof both inside and out, it’s time to start planning for all the items

your puppy will need. Here is a list of some key ones.

Say my name! It’s ideal if you choose your puppy’s name before they arrive. You can then use it whenever you interact with your puppy such as when they are being fed, treated, patted, played with, or groomed, so they associate their name with good things.

Food and water bowlYour puppy will need separate food and water bowls that are durable and non-slip.

Consider stainless steel or hard-wearing plastic bowls that can be easily washed. Decide upon a suitable, quiet location where your puppy will be fed.

Puppy foodA supply of puppy food that your puppy is already eating will help make the transition to a new home easier. If you decide to change brands of food, this should always be done over a 5 to 7 day period to reduce digestive stress.

Slumber timeFor healthy brain development, young puppies aged between 8 to 12 weeks need to sleep for around 18 to 20 hours a day. Consider where your puppy will sleep, and what sort of bedding they will sleep on. You’ll want something warm, comfortable and cosy. A washable cover is a handy addition. Choose a quiet place, free from distractions so your puppy has a spot where they will feel safe and secure and can rest peacefully.

You might like to use a crate for your puppy which


can also assist with toilet training. Choose a suitable size crate and train your puppy to view their crate as a great place to be by using treats and chew toys.

Collar and leashA collar should be introduced as soon as possible and choosing the right size is important. The collar should fit so that two fingers easily fit underneath it. The collar is likely to need replacing as the puppy grows.

Have your puppy get used to wearing a collar and the feel of a leash, both inside and outside the home. Take things slowly and provide lots of positive reinforcement through treats and praise, so that these items equate to happy times for your puppy. They’ll soon get the hang of things!

Grooming itemsDepending on your puppy’s coat type and length, choose a suitable brush or comb.

Grooming your puppy is a great way for them to get used to being handled. Start slowly and be sure to pair grooming with treats and praise, to ensure this is a positive experience for your puppy.

Choosing a VeterinarianThroughout life, a dog will need regular veterinary care and attention. Now is a good time to choose your veterinarian and book in a health check for

your new puppy. At this visit, you can discuss an appropriate healthcare routine for your puppy.

Meeting the familyTo keep the initial introduction to your home as stress-free as possible, try to limit the number of new people your puppy will meet in the first few days. It’s easy for a young puppy to feel overwhelmed, so ensure a calm environment and allow your puppy some time to adjust.

Show your puppy where their sleeping spot is and establish it as their quiet refuge – a place to escape the world when needed. When introducing your puppy to children, always ensure a responsible adult is present. Have the children seated quietly and allow the puppy to come to them.

Discuss with children the need to be quiet and calm when interacting with the puppy. Make sure that interactions between children and pets are always supervised. To ensure a positive association with children, give treats to the puppy while they interact with them.

The first nightIt is likely that for your puppy, the first night at your home is their first night away from their mother and littermates. Your puppy’s crate provides a safe and secure space for them to bed down, while preventing them from roaming the house at night. Just prior to bedtime, play with your puppy so that they become tired. Avoid your puppy taking a nap close to bedtime.

Prior to settling down for the night, take your puppy to their designated toilet area and wait until they’ve toileted. Praise and reward calmly for a job well done, then take them to their sleeping spot. Young puppies will need to be taken outdoors to toilet at least every 4 hours during the night so set your alarm for the next few weeks!

Nice to meet you!If you could ask an adult dog about puppies, they would probably say they have really poor social skills and lots to learn! If your home already has some furry residents, they may need time to adjust to life with a new puppy.

Adult dogs often welcome a new puppy, but there


can be tensions. A resident dog can be protective of their home territory and resources within it, so it’s a good idea to schedule the initial meeting on neutral ground, rather than at home. Have both dogs on a leash and under control. When they show that they’re interested in meeting, allow them to sniff and get to know each other. If all goes well, they can meet again at home. If you have more than one dog, the new puppy should meet one resident dog at a time. Be mindful to keep initial interactions reasonably brief so that the older dog gets a break from the puppy. The new puppy hasn’t yet developed their social skills and this can be quite trying for older dogs.

Older dogs will let your puppy know what the rules are and can help teach the puppy the social skills they need to learn. Don’t punish your older dog for growling. Puppies are just starting to learn about communication skills and they often don’t read the more subtle signals that older dogs display. Growls are a method of communication and can help teach the puppy when older dogs no longer want to interact. Puppies need to learn to read such signals.

Supervision is critical. Be sure to keep a watchful eye on the interactions and take action if body language and communication indicate it is required.

Ensure each pet has the opportunity to seek refuge to get some quiet time away from one another. You might like to use a crate, play pen or separate pets via a gate. It is helpful to ensure each pet can rest without disturbance and this also teaches each individual to be comfortable on their own.

Introducing your puppy to a catWhile puppies tend to like the sight of a cat, unfortunately the reverse cannot often be said. Have a think about how your cat has reacted to dogs in the past, to help you plan. Supervise all interactions between the puppy and the cat for at least the first month or so, to avoid any harm. Ensure your cat has an escape route and access to a safe spot to take refuge. This might mean a resting spot high up where they can be out of the puppy’s reach. This will help keep the cat calm as they know they can exit whenever they desire. Train the puppy to be relaxed around the cat, and to pay attention to you when the cat is nearby. You want to avoid any situations where one chases the other.

With time, patience and positive reinforcement most pets will learn how to co-habit peacefully. Some even turn out to be the best of friends.

Bringing a new puppy (or dog) into your family is incredibly exciting. Remember that every pet will require time to adjust to their new home and how long this integration takes will differ depending on their individual circumstances and personalities. Don’t rush things! Allow time for your new family member to initially settle in, learn your routine and then finally start to feel at home. Don’t hesitate to seek advice and support – your veterinary clinic may be able to recommend a reputable dog trainer or ask family or friends for a referral. Time and patience will help build trust so that your new partnership can strengthen and flourish. After some months, you won’t be able to imagine life live without your furry best mate.

Joanne Bibby – Fursafe®

CauseYour dog may experience severe blood loss; fluid loss; traumatic injury including amputation; anaphylactic shock; heart failure.

Types of ShockThere are many different causes of shock, which are classified into: • Cardiogenic shock: Inability of the heart to circulate blood; which results in, for example, acute heart failure;

• Hypovolemic shock: which is the loss of intravascular fluid (i.e. blood); as a consequence of massive blood or fluid loss; and

• Distributive shock: Redistribution of body fluid; (i.e. water and electrolytes) due to a disturbance in the fluid distribution.

Safety precautionsShock is an extremely serious and potentially life-threatening condition. It is imperative that after any medical and / or traumatic injury that the pet owner monitors and manages this condition as a priority.

Therefore, the best way to minimise the risk of shock is for the dog owner to assume that shock is present in all medical emergencies and follow the ‘Action for Shock’ on page 27*, for all first aid emergencies.

SHOCKSHOCKShock is a life-threatening disorder that occurs when the body’s cells and organs are not getting enough blood flow, creating insufficient

oxygen and nutrients to function, which ultimately causes irreversible organ damage.

First Aid:


(This is regardless of its classification / type, or the limited signs and symptoms which are present for shock at any given time).

Signs and SymptomsEarly Signs • Heart rate is elevated, causing pulse sounds to be strong and bound

• Dog swings between anxiety and depression

• Gums look red with a capillary refill time of 1-2 seconds

• Dogs body temperature drops below 38.5°C

Progressive Signs

• Breathing becomes shallow

• Pulse weakens and becomes difficult to locate

• Eyes look glazed and unfocused

• Dog appears to be physically lethargic

• Limbs are cool to the touch

• Gums look abnormal; either pale, blue, white or mottled

• Capillary refill time is longer than 2 seconds

• Dogs temperature drops dramatically, well below 38.5°C

• Dysponea / breathing difficulties worsen, below 10 breaths per minute

• Collapse, unconscious

• Cardiac arrest

Action*1. Undertake Primary Assessment – DRSABC

a. Check for Dangers – a danger may be that the dog has become aggressive (warning: never put a muzzle on a dog who has breathing difficulties)

b. Is your dog responding to your voice or your touch? If not, your dog may be unconscious

c. Send for help; if there is someone else in the house get them to do things like get the first aid kit, help carry dog into house, prepare the car and call the Vet. They may also be able to help you restrain your dog

d. Check the airway for vomit in the mouth, or foreign object and remove if there is

e. Check the breathing (respirations) feel / watch the rise and fall of the chest – start artificial respiration if not breathing

f. Check circulation (pulse) – start CPR if no pulse

2. Calm your dog, talking in a soothing way

3. Restrict dog’s movement by wrapping in a warm blanket

4. Elevate dogs rear end by placing a towel or pillow under hips; however, if you suspect spinal injury or hip or back leg injuries:

a. Place dog on board supporting head and secure;

b. Tilt board to raise dog’s body above heart level by placing a couple of towels or pillows underneath

You must elevate the rear end of your dog so the oxygenated blood keeps the heart and brain functioning.

5. Undertake Secondary Assessment

a. Manage severe bleeding

b. Manage fractures

c. Manage heat stroke

d. And any other life threatening injuries

6. Get to vet urgently.

If you have a driver:

• If your dog stops breathing, begin artificial respiration on the way to the vet surgery

• If your dog’s heart stops beating, begin CPR on the way to the vet surgery

SOCIAL MEDIA – THE RUDE REVOLUTION PART 2

– David Margan

As I wrote last month, the social media communications revolution has hit us at light speed and has changed the way we communicate.

As human communications are a critical aspect of who we are and how we relate to each other this change is significant and we have had little opportunity to reflect on its consequences .

Printing – and the ability to read – changed the world. But it took time ... now revolution is just clicking or a swipe.

The benefits are amazing but there appears to be a rising cost.

Life is complex and rich with nuance but none of that can be expressed in 140 characters or in the absence of the sender’s face and its myriad of expressions.

Fights start faster than in a soccer game between Croatia and Serbia.

Offence is everywhere, the weak become tough in cyber and the cowards, bullies.

A survey last year found that forty per cent of

American adults had experienced online abuse, with almost half of them receiving severe forms of harassment, including physical threats and stalking. Seventy per cent of women described online harassment as a “major problem”.

The internet offered unparalleled promise of cooperation and communication between all of humanity.

However, instead of embracing a massive extension of our social circles online, we seem to be reverting to tribalism and conflict.

In 2012 an in-depth study showed that given the choice of a positive or negative post the majority of users went to the negative stuff.

In fact, the algorithms that drive social media architecture are designed to encourage the negative and the argument. They get responses and traffic and therefore profits.

Each outraged or emotional word in a tweet increases the likelihood of it being retweeted by 20%.

“Content that triggers outrage and that expresses


outrage is much more likely to be shared,” says Yale’s Crockett Lab director, Molly Crockett, “What we’ve created online is an ecosystem that selects for the most outrageous content, paired with a platform where it’s easier than ever before to express outrage.”

While we generally conduct our real-life interactions with strangers politely and respectfully, online we can be horrible.

Is there any way we can relearn the cooperation that enabled us to find common ground and thrive as a civilisation?

Unlike hunter-gatherer societies, which rely on cooperation to survive and have rules for sharing food, for example, social media practice, as yet, has no effective code of practice.

It offers physical distance, relative anonymity and little reputational or punitive risk for bad behaviour.

If you’re mean, no-one you know is going to see.

This is compounded by the positive feedback such as ‘likes’, as a result, the platforms help people form habits of expressing outrage. “And a habit is something that’s done without regard to its consequences,” Crockett points out.

“You might think that there is a minority of sociopaths online, which we call trolls, who are doing all this harm,” says Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil at Cornell University’s Department of Information Science. “What we actually find in our work is that ordinary people, just like you and me, can engage in such antisocial behaviour. For a specific period of time, you can actually become a troll. And that’s surprising.”

It’s worth remembering that we’ve had thousands of years to hone our person-to-person interactions, but only 20 years of social media, Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil says.

“Online we discuss things only through text. I think we shouldn’t be surprised that we’re having so much difficulty in finding the right way to discuss and cooperate online,” says Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil.

It’s a reflection of human inadequacies now unfettered by traditional social mores and it all has consequences for human communication,

difficult at the best of times, but now unreflective, ill-considered and finally weaponised to distort, disturb and disrupt.

Our society is only now considering its management and consequences ... well after the genie has left the bottle. We have a problem and don’t know how to fix it.

In response to the rising tide of insult and misinformation we may also get an over-reaction by lobby groups demanding corrective intervention from government. More fuel for the freedom of speech debate.

We’ve called on the avowed libertarian giants of digital platforms to take responsibility for their output and control what’s posted. However, they are reluctant to take on the responsibility of being the arbiters of free speech and good conduct.

In a world where for a myriad of reasons personal responsibility is being eroded, we want someone else to fix the problem.

Every organisation has to now face this buzzing behemoth of chat.

Recently the Full Bench of the Federal Court overturned a Fair Work Commission finding that BP had cause to dismiss an employee who had posted a comment on his Facebook about ongoing workplace negotiations by uploading a meme of Bruno Ganz portraying Adolf Hitler doing his block in the bunker, replacing the German with criticism of BP’s negotiation tactics.

The worker was reinstated and the meme was funny but what a nightmare of wasted time and money.

Our dogs often spend a lot of time foraging and exploring in the heart of our garden, park or bushland. Unfortunately, there are many plants lurking there that can cause all sorts of problems, from mild irritation to death.

Berries and fruits may be the biggest poison threat but even brushing against some plants can lead to a range of allergies.

“When you look in textbooks about the poisonous principles of plants, each plant has the ability to poison a number of different systems in the body,” says Dr David Neck, veterinarian and vet clinic director.

What follows is not a comprehensive list but it may help you keep your dogs safe. Best to look them up so you can identify theses plants when you see them.

• For some reason dogs seem to like the fragrant shrub, ‘Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow’ but their berries are particularly toxic to dogs.

• Nandina and Duranta berries.

• The large red seeds of cycads are highly toxic; as are grapes and the kernels of apricots and almonds.

Sounds like your garden of beauty could be better described as a dangerous jungle ... and there’s more:

• Bulbs might look to a dog like a ball to play with, but most flowering bulbs — including daffodils, jonquils, tulips, cyclamen, nerines and the onion family — are moderately toxic.

• Autumn crocus bulbs are highly toxic to cats and dogs.

• Arum and calla lilies (Zantedeschia),

GARDEN of Death

Some just say, avoid it. Don’t engage, you say. But we now have an entire generation who can’t write, have never even owned a pen and who have even stopped using the phone preferring predictive text and posts.

But there is no going back as it is now the new language of communication. Nor like Luddites can we destroy the machines.

In my humble view the problem and the solution, at its heart, lies with us as individuals.

Each of us must re-discover the moral precepts of personal responsibility for our actions and social media usage would be a good place to start and take responsibility for our own social media dialogues.

I long ago learnt to never, ever write an angry email and after the last full-stop press send.

Recently, going through some career memorabilia I found a copy of an email I had sent my Executive Producer at Channel Nine.

It was clearly angry; it was all in caps! No wonder he got sick of me, though now we laugh about it.

Now I wait 24 hours before pressing send and invariably it’s either never sent or extensively re-written in the name of moderation and respect.

Social media, however, demands a race to post and the flying fingers of social media aficionados have no time to pause or consider. But we simply must, especially when we at Dogs Queensland are part of an organisation of members built by and for those members.

We may not always agree and there will be people we don’t like or trust, or who may not like or trust us. That’s life, move on and don’t be tempted to let fly in cyberspace.

Each one of us has the responsibility to manage those situations in a rational and civil manner.

Sometimes that will involve accepting decisions we don’t personally agree with. Join the debate but don’t fester when you lose it.

Kindness should be a concept you practice, as my Mum once advised: “If you haven’t got anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.”


SPARE?????

rhododendrons and azaleas, daphne, rhubarb leaves, delphiniums, jasmine, amaranth, laburnum, oleander and weed lantana are also toxic.

• Hydrangeas, ivy, and its seeds, unripe flesh and leaves of avocado are moderately toxic.

• Wandering Jew, now known as ‘trad’, is toxic due to its tendency to cause dermatitis or allergies in dogs.

One of my family’s dogs was consistently having problems with irritated ears which he’d scratch and then that led to a haematoma and a potential vet bill of $1200. The dog is now fine and the backyard cleared of any trace of that plant.

But wait, it’s not just outside that danger lurks. Those seemingly still, quiet houseplants could also be injurious to your pets.

• Devil’s ivy or pothos (Epipremnum), Dieffenbachia (“dumb cane”) dracaenas, philodendrons, peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) and rubber tree (Ficus elastica).

• Other common toxic plants include holly, azalea, carnations, chrysanthemum, corn plant and jade plant.

So how do you know your dog has been poisoned?

Well that obviously starts with knowing your dog but if any of the following appear, get advice quickly.

The symptoms a dog may display after eating toxic plants or foods depends on the toxin as well as the pet you have, their age, underlying medical conditions and how much they have consumed.

“The classic symptoms include seizing or fitting, agitation or tremoring (if it’s affecting their nervous system), diarrhoea or vomiting, and drooling (this can be a sign of nausea if it’s affecting their gastrointestinal system),” said Dr Neck.

You may now feel like never going near plants again, but like many things, knowledge not paranoia is the point here, especially when a garden can be as pleasurable as our wonderful canines.

As your dog ages, you may find it suffering from some common ailments that occur when a dog’s vital organs and bodily functions begin to slow down. These conditions, while challenging, are treatable, so make sure to speak to your vet at the first sign of illness.

Cataracts and vision loss in senior dogsOne ailment common to all breeds and sizes of dog is the development of cataracts. As with humans, dogs develop cataracts when the cells making up the lens over the eye build up over time, eventually becoming opaque. Their eyes then take on a bluish tint and their vision begins to deteriorate.

Dogs with diabetes develop cataracts more quickly, as it’s linked to an excess of glucose in the blood. Diabetes itself is more common in dogs who are obese, so keeping your dog at their ideal body weight is a good way to prevent associated conditions like cataracts. Regular visits to your vet can help catch this condition early; in 80% of cases, cataract surgery undertaken in the preliminary stages of the disease has been successful.

Hypothyroidism in older dogsThis is the most common hormonal disease in dogs and occurs when the thyroid gland begins to weaken and become underactive. Although

In the later part of their life, your dog may begin to experience one of these common age-related conditions – learn more about them and their

treatment here.

COCOMMON ILLNESSESMMON ILLNESSES IN OLDER DOGSIN OLDER DOGS


the causes of hypothyroidism aren’t completely clear, they are associated with your dog’s immune system ‘attacking’ the thyroid and damaging it, or from treatments for an overactive thyroid.

If your senior dog is suffering with hypothyroidism, they’ll gain weight despite being on the same diet. They may exhibit reluctant behaviour towards exercise, alongside weakness and anxiousness. Their coat is also affected, becoming dull and dry with hair loss, alongside thick, greasy and sometimes itchy skin.

Osteoarthritis in senior dogsOsteoarthritis is a common cause of limping in older dogs, caused by the gradual deterioration of cartilage which covers their joints. There’s unfortunately no cure for this condition, due to the slow regeneration of cells in ageing dogs, but treatment helps to alleviate pain and slow the progression of the illness.

Aching joints or difficulty moving are sometimes seen as simply a sign of your dog getting older; however, if you notice them finding it particularly difficult to move, you should visit your vet as they may be able to help ease some of your dog’s suffering.

Overweight dogs are more likely to suffer osteoarthritis due to the extra pressure on their joints, so keeping your dog at their ideal weight is a good preventative measure. You can also make

sure their food includes specific nutrients which support joint health, such as anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids, or customised nutrients complex with clinical efficacy (for example curcumin, collagen and green tea polyphenols), glucosamine and chondroitin.

Senior dogs and cognitive dysfunctionAs your dog gets older, you may notice their behaviour changes. Although some of this can be attributed to ageing, it may also be cognitive dysfunction, which manifests itself in dogs in similar ways to Alzheimer’s in humans.

Your dog’s blood vessels deteriorate as they age, reducing the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain. This affects their behaviour, causing disorientation, lack of recognition, forgetfulness, disrupted sleep and even agitation or hostility.

This condition can be very distressing for your dog, but it can be alleviated. Exercise your dog with short, regular walks, and reinstate the commands you taught it when it was a puppy. Reduce stress by maintaining their daily routine and consider giving it a food which is rich in antioxidants, as these can protect cells against damaging free radicals.

Your senior dog doesn’t have to suffer unnecessarily with these common ailments. Make an appointment to see your vet if you spot these symptoms so you can make sure you’re giving them the best care possible.
