For Those Attending The Million Paws Walk In Qld

[Mystiqview]

I know we have to be on the watch at all times for Parvo. But for those who are attending the Million Paws walk in Brisbane on the weekend, it may be a good idea to keep an extra watch out for dogs possibly showing signs.

A friend posted this link to nine msn News:

Parvovirus Outbreak Hits Queensland

The Registration Form I filled in for the RSPCA Qld Million Paws Walk, had the following on it:

CHECKLIST FOR THE DAY

Your pet should be:

.Fully vaccinated & healthy

.Non-aggressive

.On the lead at all times

.Registered with your local council

I could tick off our 2 dogs for all those....& will check before we go on Sunday.

So we'll be going, as intended, unless there's an outside chance of some injury or unwellness on Sunday morning.

I only posted this as wouldn't also be good to be aware of potential outbreaks than not??

You may take a vaccinated pet. Does not stop idiots from ticking the form and taking an unvaccinated pet.

Being Vaccinated does not stop the dog from getting it. Hopefully stops them from getting a deadly strain of it.

It also does not stop dogs from carrying the virus home.
