**** edited, the tan female bob tail is now available due to reasons I have decided the home was not suitable for her. ********

When this turn into this. So amazing to see what is coming. I don’t always X-ray. But Layla had me baffled, I was worried there may if only been 2 large pups in there by her size. But no there was 3 little ones and 1 micro in there.
54g, 88g, 98g and 108g. Amazing first time mumma. They are also dudes first litter as well.

Yes, dogs can catch Japanese encephalitis (JE) but usually don't show signs of illness. JE is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes.
How dogs get JE
Dogs can become infected when bitten by an infected mosquito.
Mosquitoes can become infected when they bite infected animals, such as pigs and birds.
Symptoms in dogs
Most infections in dogs are asymptomatic.
In some studies, dogs have been found to have antibodies to JE.
Other animals that can get JE
Cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, cats, bats, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and birds
Horses and pigs are more likely to show signs of disease.
How to protect your pet
Apply insecticides to protect your pet from mosquito bites.
If you suspect your pet has JE, contact your local veterinarian or the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline.

⚠️ BIOSECURITY ALERT Something to watch out for if you own pigs or horses - or have feral pigs on your property.

👉 The gist:
A mosquito-borne virus has been detected in two Queensland piggeries, feral pigs in NSW and mozzies in Monto, Goondiwindi and Inglewood.

🦟 What it means:
The virus (Japanese encephalitis) can cause unexplained stillbirths in pigs and inflammation of the brain in horses, and can potentially cause serious illness in humans.

🐗 Biosecurity advice:

- The virus could spread to the Desert Channel region through feral pigs.

- People who work or live near pigs, including feral pigs, should look out for signs of the virus; including unexplained birth complications in pigs, or imbalance or poor vision in horses

- It is not possible for people to catch JEV directly from pigs, horses or from meat; only from a bite from infected mosquitos.

- If you suspect a case of the virus, report it to your local vet.

👇 What you should do:

- Wear loose, long-sleeved clothing when working near pigs or feral pigs.

- Take measures to avoid mosquito bites and wear insect repellent where possible.

As feared, we are now seeing a rapid increase in the number of leptospirosis cases at our clinics, particularly in the Ingham area.

INGHAM & CARDWELL RESIDENTS - we have extended our leptospirosis vaccination program at our Ingham and Cardwell clinics to assist in getting as many dogs vaccinated as possible - this means there will be no consultation fee charged when updating your dog's leptospirosis vaccination. Vaccination is the best protection for your pet against this life-threatening infection and we urge you to please call the clinic to book in any unvaccinated dogs as soon as possible.

While much focus has been on the worst affected areas, the majority of North Queensland has experienced heavy rain in the last few weeks - we remind residents from all NQ communities to be on the lookout for symptoms of leptospirosis, and we strongly recommend that all pet owners ensure vaccinations are up to date.

If you notice your dog presenting with any of the following symptoms, please seek urgent veterinary assistance:

- fever
- lethargy or reluctance to move
- loss of appetite
- excess drinking and urination
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- respiratory difficulty
- jaundice (yellowing of eyes, gums, etc)

For those that wanted a LooCha puppet and missed out on we have Layla and Dude due roughly the week starting 28/2/25.
Layla is blue and carries chocolate and cream, Dude is tan and carries blue m, cream and chocolate. (Molly x Mr)
Meaning we could have tri, tan, chocolate, blue, lilac or champagne puppets with our without tails as Dude (outsourced and tested clear making him a good fit to enter our breeding program) is a bob tail. This could be interesting litter.
Layla has one copy of BHFD and so does Dude, so we could have some clear, single or double carriers as well.

Hopefully only a week left to know her DNA. Definitely Merle let’s see if there is brindle, cream and choc in there as well.
