Tick season is upon us - please ensure you are upto date with your tick prevention! Also note that if you are checking your pets you should also be mindful of tick bites on yourself. Ticks affect people differently to animals but they can cause some problems for us too!

THE RISE AND RISE OF MAMMALIAN MEAT ALLERGY ON THE NORTHERN BEACHES: HOW IT HAPPENED, WHO IT HAPPENED TO, AND HOPE FOR A CURE

Mammalian-meat allergy – MMA – is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by a tick bite. Sufferers become at times violently ill from eating red meat where previously they had no aversion, a sort of forced vegan diet.

Cases continue to rise along the Northern Beaches in particular, which is already regarded as a global ‘hot-spot’. From relatively few cases prior to 2003, the number of MMA hospital admissions on the Northern Beaches has accelerated over the past two decades to over 1800 reported cases.

Despite this, “not a single cent” of government money has been spent in working out how frequent and prevalent mammalian-meat allergy, according to the local allergy specialist who discovered the condition, Professor Sheryl van Nunen.

Thankfully progress has just been made in identifying what causes this strange and potentially fatal affliction.

In this feature, Manly Observer speaks with Prof van Nunen and local residents living with MMA, about how it came about, what it’s like and what hope there is for the future.

Foxes are feral animals in Australia. They have spread throughout most of the country including our Northern Beaches.

If anyone is interested in going on the blood doner list at NEVS they are having an info/suitability test session this Friday.

We need Canine Blood Donors
We’ll have an afternoon on Friday 8th of February from 1pm-6pm to screen blood donors. This involves a talk about what happens when a donor gives blood, a free full blood screen to make sure they’re healthy and to see how they cope with the hospital environment.

If your dog is over 25kg, fully vaccinated and wormed in between 2-7 years old and is a relaxed well behaved dog, they might be able to save lives.

This is Robbie he’s saved 20 or more lives in his time, he’s 11 now so can’t help anymore.
Can your dog be the next Robbie?

If you think your dog may be a life saver please call the hospital and ask for Kasey and I'll book you in

Really interesting reading where cats came from! Apparently all domestic cats can genetically be traced back to the African Wildcat🐱🐈

Always be careful what they eat - even if what their earing isn't 'dangerous'. This goes for toys too - monitor when they have a new one to see what they do with it.
*warning - video has a little bit of the graphic injury. Poor puppy😔

Please don't keep Lilies around if you have cats!

Dakin Nation, please remember that Easter lily plants are incredibly toxic to cats! Eating less than one lily leaf can cause a cat to develop kidney failure. When they groom the pollen off their fur or paws and ingest it, they can be poisoned: http://bit.ly/2nZyu5Q
