**Warning**
Be very careful where you are leaving your rapid antigen tests and be mindful when self testing.
RSPCA has released the following update.

Pet owners beware, a chemical that can be found in trace amounts in some COVID-19 rapid antigen test (RAT) kits may be toxic to animals if ingested. 🧪⚠️

The WA says RAT buffer solutions may contain a chemical called sodium azide which could be a risk to small animals such as puppies, small dogs, cats, kittens, small mammals, and birds.

"As Rapid Antigen Test kits become part of our lives, please ensure you take the care to keep them out of reach of animals and dispose of them properly to minimise the risk to your pets," the RSPCA said.

"Please call your veterinarian or contact the Animal Poisons Helpline on 1300 869 738 urgently if an animal has ingested even a small amount of the buffer solution."

GRASS SEED WARNING!!!
Recently we have been seeing some grass seed victims. Yesterday poor Fomo came in with a grass seed stuck in her eye which needed to be removed under sedation. Fomo was very lucky the seed didn't cause any substantial damage to her eye.
We thought it is important to make everyone aware of the problems the humble little grass seeds can pose to our beloved pets.
Grass seeds are a particular problem in late spring and throughout the summer months. Grass seeds have an arrow like head and once they get stuck into the skin they continue to move in a one way direction and then burrows underneath the skin and form a swelling and an abscess.
Whilst lodged grass seeds may be found anywhere on your dog, they are mostly a problem on the feet and in-between the toes. They are also commonly found on the front of the chest and around the armpits. For dogs that like to eat grass we occasionally see big swellings under the jaw. This occurs when a seed head has been ingested and gets stuck in the mouth. It then works its way to the subcutaneous tissues under the jaw causing an abscess. Retrieving the little seeds once they are burrowed under the skin isn’t always easy. Occasionally it can be like looking for a needle in a haystack and multiple operations are required to remove bits of broken down grass head.
Occasionally a grass seed head finds its way into your pet’s ears. Once the grass seed goes into ear canal, the pet starts to constantly shake head and scratch ears. This can cause rupture of ear drum. Your pet may sedation to retrieve the grass seed from the ears.
Also grass seed’s can enter the nose while the dog is sniffing around. Once it lodges into nasal cavity, the pet will start sneezing constantly and may pass blood with sneezing. Your pet will need full general anaesthetic to retrieve the grass seed from nostrils.
Grass seeds can also cause life-threatening problems when they are inhaled or migrate from the skin in to the chest and enter the lungs. They can also pe*****te into abdominal organs. Seed may also migrate into the areas near the spine. When internal organs or the spine are affected, a pet may become very ill.
As always, prevention is better than cure. Keep the grass mowed short at your house and take care allowing your pet to run in long grasses. If you have a pet prone to collecting things in their coat, they should be checked daily all over for seeds. Pay particular attention to in-between each toe and around the chest and ears. Consider having your dog’s coat clipped short over summer to aid your search.
