SCRATCH ‘N’ SNIFF Issue 46- OCTOBER 2017 CLUB ESTABLISHED: 1979 - VCA AFFILIATED: 1986 Paralysis Ticks in Wellington Shire – Longford Veterinary Centre UPCOMING EVENTS SATURDAY 14th & SUNDAY 15th OCTOBER 2017 - Agility & Jumping Trial SUNDAY 10th DECEMBER 2017 - Christmas Break up SUNDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2018 - First Sunday for Club in 2018 As the weather warms up we are coming into tick season. The tick that causes us problems locally is the southern paralysis tick, Ixodes cornuatus. This tick occurs throughout the shire but our 'hot spots' are Paradise Beach and Golden Beach. Basically if your visiting anywhere from Longford back to the coast your pet should be on year round tick prevention. At Longford Veterinary Centre we treat several cases of dogs affected by tick paralysis every year. The paralysis tick feeds on the blood of the pet and its' saliva is a toxin. The tick toxin causes an ascending paralysis, which means paralysis starts in the back legs and moves upwards. This may eventually cause death due to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. Tick paralysis can be treated successfully if you realise that your dog is affected early enough. We provide intravenous fluids, various supportive therapies and treat with tick antiserum (similar to the concept of treating snake bite with anti-venom). It is far better to have dogs on prevention. There are several options however we favour the monthly or 3 monthly tablets as these are waterproof and hence ideal for dogs going to the beach! It is possible to still find ticks on dogs on some tick preventative products- the tick attaches, feeds and then dies. -

A number of catchments within the region were affected by major bushfires in December 2006 and a major flood (a one-in-100–year event) that commenced in June 2007 and continued into July. While the flood extended beyond the nominal study period, the magnitude of this event warranted a separate assessment of the nutrient loads over the full period of the event. -

2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems
2012 Gippsland Flood Event - Review of Flood Warnings and Information Systems TRIM ID: CD/12/522803 Date: 21 November 2012 Version: Final OFFICE of the EMERGENCY SERVICES COMMISSIONER Page i MINISTERIAL FOREWORD In early June this year, heavy rain and widespread flooding affected tens of thousands of Victorians across the central and eastern Gippsland region. The damage to towns and communities was widespread – particularly in the Latrobe City, Wellington and East Gippsland municipalities. Homes, properties and businesses were damaged, roads and bridges were closed, and more than 1500 farmers were impacted by the rains. A number of people were rescued after being trapped or stranded by the rising waters. Following the floods, some communities had a perception that telephone-based community warnings and information had failed them. As the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, I requested Victoria’s Emergency Services Commissioner to review the effectiveness, timeliness and relevance of the community information and warnings. This report has met my expectations and has identified the consequences and causes for the public’s perception. I welcome the review’s findings. I am confident these will, in time, lead to better and more effective arrangements for community information and warnings and contribute to a safer and more resilient Victoria.

Region Three river basins form the region – Thomson (basin 25), Latrobe (basin 26) and South Gippsland (basin 27).

In the centre of the region is the Latrobe basin.

Although much of the land provided 14,018 ML of environmental water to two reaches has been cleared for agriculture, the dominant land use is on the Macalister River (reaches 7 and 8). -
