Yesterday the GSPCA held the first Dog First Aid Course at the Shelter.
11 dog lovers turned up on a very sunny Sunday to take part and all enjoyed a 2 hour session learning about first aid for dogs and what to do in the case of an emergency.
The group learnt about CPR for dogs to what to do if their dog gets cut or electrocuted.
Donna Rostron who has adopted a dog from the Shelter called Coby said 'Thank you Steve Byrne for a great first aid course for dogs today learnt some useful tips at the GSPCA'

Fluke a Jack Russell needs an operation on his leg and Barney a Collie Cross needs a lump removed.
We are hoping to get both dogs in for their operations before Christmas and we are appealing for funds towards their care.

It is often reported in the press regarding dogs killing chickens that aren't controlled but it doesn't stop there. At the GSPCA we often have other birds, hedgehogs, rabbits and even cats that are reported to the Shelter that have been killed by dogs that aren't under control.
Some of the current legislation regarding Control of Dogs in Guernsey is:

After an operation to remove a lump from his throat and an overnight stay Nouska the Husky is back at the Animal Shelter and doing well.
The lump which was found after Nouska was signed over to the Shelter has now been removed and he is on pain relief, antibiotics and a special food to help his recovery.
We have sent the lump away to be diagnosed and will hopefully no longer cause Nouska and more issues.
