‼️ Keep animals front of mind this election!
Australians care about animals, and we know that, while much animal welfare legislation is the responsibility of state and territory governments, the Federal Government still has a significant role to play.

That’s why this federal election is a critical chance to keep animal welfare on the agenda, and a chance to advocate for stronger laws, better protection, and cohesive systems that work better to protect the welfare of animals.

The RSPCA has three key priorities for the next Australian government 👇

1️⃣ End live sheep export by the legislated date of 1 May 2028
2️⃣ National leadership on animal welfare
3️⃣ Animal welfare in trade agreements

In need of urgent care to a miracle transformation 🐶💔
Handsome Henry was severely emaciated with multiple medical issues when our RSPCA Inspectors brought him into care.

This May you can help save precious lives like Henry by walking to help end animal cruelty and neglect at Million Paws Walk 👉 bit.ly/3EkLXlW

Confined to a balcony with limited access to food, Henry was one of the worst conditioned dogs our Inspector had ever seen. With his owners unable to give the level of care Henry so desperately needed, they decided to surrender him to RSPCA.

Our Inspector took him straight into RSPCA veterinary care, where our Vet Team were shocked when Henry weighed in at a tiny 13.8kg! Every rib, his hips and skull protruded. For his breed, Henry’s ideal weight should have been double.

As the Vet Team continued to assess poor Henry, they discovered he also had a number of other medical issues, including a heart murmur and was covered in fleas 🥲

After much-needed care and support, Henry bounced back and was adopted by his doting foster carer ❤️ Henry now lives a wonderful life with two other RSPCA dogs:

“He loves every human - big and small - and every other animal he meets. He is the sweetest man, loves to snuggle on the couch, has perfect cafe manners when we take him out and loves the beach. He is a "talker" and lets me know when the next-door neighbours kids are on their way.”

A long road to recovery 🐨
Found by a member of the public, poor Baobab was suffering from severe, painful conjunctivitis as a result of chlamydia. Sadly, chlamydia is a very common illness among koalas. If left untreated this infection can cause infertility and permanent blindness.

Taken into care at our RSPCA Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at Eumundi, 6-year-old Baobab spent weeks receiving treatment for her conjunctivitis and chlamydia, as well as fungal lesions to her feet and ear.

Sadly, it wasn't just the infections and wounds she was suffering from. An examination revealed she had number of ovarian cysts so serve the only course of action to ensure no future complications were to remove her ovaries. As soon as Baobab's infections were resolved, she was transferred to our RSPCA Wildlife Hospital at Brisbane, Wacol for the procedure.

The delicate surgery was a success, and after spending time recovering in hospital Baobab was headed back to RSPCA Eumundi to continue her rehabilitation. Now, many months later, Baobab is fit and healthy and ready to be returned back to her home ❤️

🐨 Baobab is just one of over 27,000 native animals we see every year... and why we need your support.

Our dedicated wildlife and rescue teams work around the clock to save vulnerable and endangered animals. Their crucial work to save our precious wildlife is only possible thanks to community support and generous donations.

From injured and alone to a life transformed 🐶💔
It was obvious beautiful Millie was in need urgent medical attention when she arrived into our care.

Found lost and alone, our RSPCA Mackay Team had no idea how long she had been suffering from an injury to her eye.

Rushed into surgery, sadly her injured eye could not be saved. But Millie had a fighting spirit and quickly bounced back from surgery!

Having just one eye didn’t hold Millie back from finding love. Once she was fully recovered, a loving forever family swept Millie off her feet. This is their recent update:

“She is doing great! She has settled in really well with her big brother Rocco and loves to annoy him by stealing his toys and making Rocco chase her for them. Millie loves people and gets very excited over meeting new faces and she will do anything for a cuddle. Millie loves her food and her sleep (as most pups do) and her favourite spot to relax is on her inside bed close to her favourite humans and big brother Rocco.”

Millie's happy story is just one of the thousands of incredible stories made possible thanks to people like you that walk and fundraise for Million Paws Walk ❤️

🍫 This Easter, remember chocolate safety around your pets.
Chocolate is toxic to cats and dogs and as little as 50g can be fatal. Remember your pets while the sweet treats are handed around this Easter, and keep an eye out for tell tale signs of chocolate poisoning.

Watch out for signs of chocolate ingestion:
🤮 Vomiting
🤒 Diahorrea
🏃‍♀️ Hyper-activity
😟 Excessive urination
❤ Accelerated heartrate

If you're worried your pet has ingested chocolate call your vet immediately and seek medical attention.

Chocolate as well as other foods like hot cross buns, onions, cooked bones, fatty barbeque leftovers and corn cobs, can all cause major implications for your pet’s health, be safe this Easter to avoid a visit to an emergency vet!

Soaring once again 🦅❤️
It’s tough for an eagle to soar with a damaged tail. So, it’s no surprise this majestic bird of prey was grounded.

Spotted in a dangerous situation, lying on a road outside Ipswich, a concerned couple driving past made the snap decision to rescue this Eagle and bring it to our RSPCA Wildlife Hospital.

The poor Eagle was so dazed that they managed to pick it up without any struggle. On arrival to our Hospital our Wildlife Vet Team checked him over and thankfully apart from a swollen toe and some damage to his tail his x-rays came back clear. From his injuries it looked a car may have hit him mid-flight.

Recovering in hospital was not for this little Eagle. Becoming more and more stressed in an unusual, confined space it was best for his recovery to be transferred to the Team at RSPCA Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at Eumundi where he could spread his wings in a large aviary and receive the tip-top treatment he needed.

Soon our RSPCA Team were happy to see this little Eagle flying and perching well, and it wasn’t long before he was given the all-clear to be released into the skies once more ❤️

🚑 Our RSPCA teams are rescuing over 27,000 animals, just like this little Eagle, every year in Queensland. To continue to save lives, we need to improve our capacity to care.

A new, purpose-built Wildlife Centre of Excellence will provide opportunities to better care of wildlife through better resourcing, technology and investment in research and education. Your support helps ensure our wildlife, like this Eagle, can get a second chance in the wild. Find out more 👉 bit.ly/4lQ31RR
