⚠️ 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 ⚠️ Over the past two weeks we have seen a jump in the number of animals presenting with tick paralysis. Even one of our two-legged animals (Dr Deb) copped a nasty bite over the weekend. With the weather starting to warm-up and now with this rain, paralysis ticks are out and active already. 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀' 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗽-𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 (call or pop in to chat if you're unsure) and take a minute to reacquaint yourselves with the signs and treatments of tick paralysis: https://www.malenyvet.com.au/tick-paralysis-signs-treatments-and-the-importance-of-preventative-measures/

Finally, we’re at a turning point in veterinary nutrition. ✨ Vets are the last group of formally trained medical professionals to still actively (and sometimes aggressively) promote the exclusive feeding of ultra-processed, pelleted food for a lifetime (birth to death), as a means to achieve longterm health. 🥺❓
This incongruent and unorthodox recommendation is a result of our nutrition education during veterinary medical school. As of now, every vet school around the world is endowed by a Big Pet Food brand, so their nutrition curriculum is funded, prepared and executed (taught) by the top (ultra-processed) pet food manufacturers (or faculty funded by them), so our future vets don’t have access to unbiased nutrition information. But our Next Generation vet students are asking more questions 💥; aren’t less processed, fresher foods healthier for all mammals? How does heat and extended, unregulated, storage temps affect added nutrients, flavorings, palatants and additives 🌡️? Where are all the synthetic nutrients coming from, and is anyone regulating safety? In the U.S., there’s no limit on the amount of copper and other minerals in pet food… and what happens when we feed excessive amounts in perpetuity?
While some vet med students may not feel nutrition is relevant to their future (see link in graphic), and some (correctly) feel they aren’t adequately prepared for the job ahead of them, we have a whole new generation of intelligent, inspired, and empowered veterinary students who actually understand all of these issues, and are moving forward with a clear sense of what needs to happen in veterinary hospitals around the world, but also what has to happen in the industry ☄️. The next generation of present-knowledge vets is here… let’s support the heck out of them❣️

SOOOO desperate for FOSTER CARERS....

A skinny mum and her malnourished babies are facing euthanisia tomorrow at a rural pound.

This is absolutely CRITICAL!

Can anyone foster? Crate provided.

Can anyone pledge/donate/sponsor and help us save their lives?
