Please be very aware when walking your dog on Karsiyaka beach.



Poison Has been laid yet again!!



Pat took out to their today walked them as far as the bend where the water flows down form the hills then back just past the beach bars.



Burnley must have found something as on their return he started frothing at the mouth evacuated his bowels and was shaking violently.



Fortunately we had some Antropine I was able to administer then drove into girne at emergency speed headlights on flashers on horn beeping.

Ferdez was able to hook him up to a drip give him several injections and he is going to be ok.



Please please be very careful if you take your dogs there, Also may I urge all dog owners to get some Antropine to get some visit the chemist just before tempo it was 10ytl for quite a lot and it will save your dog should the worst happen.

Thanks for the warning Littlenige. It just upsets me so much to think that people would do such a thing. We live down at Catalkoy and thank goodness our dog has not come across anything nasty but I will certainly go and pay that chemist a visit just in case.

hi littlenige

sorry to hear what happened to your dog, but this problem is rife in cyprus and turkey because there is a big street dog problem and the only way they think to keep a control over it is to poison the dogs aswell as cats in their eyes to expensive to mantain in a shelter, in turn the pet dogs and cats get caught up in it aswell which is cruel not just for the pet dogs but also for the street dogs, now in turn what i do when i take my dog out especially to the beach i keep him on the lead which i know defeats the purpose of taking him out but id rather be safe than sorry!!!! thank god you managed to have and give antropine to your dog and was able to rush down to the vets!!!!

regards

I asked the vet that question. if the child was old enogh to tell an adult what had happened and got hospital treatment within a short period the child may survive if it was a toddler ie 3 or under the child would die.

Hi Little Nige

Your post is a perfect example to me of what makes this forum so bloody good! 'Er indoors and me are dog lovers(we have a three year old boxer called Alfie)and are planning to retire to Karsiyaka in the not too distant future with Alfie(Ijust lurrrrve that boy!) Making people aware of the potential dangers and the preventative measures that can be taken is really useful! Keep up the good work all you posters!

P.S. Did i mention that my Alfie is the best Boxer in the world Lol!!!!!!!

That gives me an idea for another post! Watch this space!

Regards to all

You're right legin - if I ever buy you a drink I'll be careful not to say 'what's your poison'.

Alfie probably looks like me in the morning after a good night out.

Take care,

Loby.

Hi jamesb, god only knows whats in the bags ! its for vermin she says. but i have asked more than once to stop, but i suppose she has quite a few villa's to look after so she forgets i suppose to her its quite normal to use them. also there a quite a few well behaved dogs on the site and they are quite well looked after by the site workers. the last time we were there one puppy that wasnt very well ,and as i saw some bags outside the villa i mentioned it to the site foreman he actually took it to the vet it had bad case of worms . by the time we left the puppy was very well my husband had commented about the poison saying the dogs might injest it but i stupidly thought it just affected vermin . but if this is first line management in vermin control its going to be very difficult to stop her from using it.

have a good day simbas

re message 21. I agree your boxer is a fine looking animal. Maybe i get a little over exuberant when talking about Alfie. Boxers are the best dogs in the world. Give Millie a big slobbery kiss from me and i'll do the same to Alfie from you! I will have to get a picture of Alfie on my profile like you've done.



Best regards

Hi Everyone

Sorry to hear about pats dog but glad it is ok now.

A little bit of news regarding the poisoning of animals. voicing opinions in forums is all well and good but actions speak louder than words, so please sign the petition and try to attend the meeting to get the government to take some positive action.



11/2/08

Following the public meeting held at Watermill Hotel Girne, Kyrenia Animal Rescue representatives are endeavoring to secure an appointment with President Talat in order to present the Petition that calls for changes in the way that lethal poison is imported, sold and indiscriminately used.



It is hoped that the many supporters of KAR including those who attended the meeting, pet owners, students and all interested parties will support on the day that the Petition is presented. It is planned that Television and Press will be in attendance so the more people that can attend at the appointed time the better. KAR hope to show a strong and united front when meeting with Mr. Talat.

The date and time of the appointment will be posted on the web site



13/2/08

President Talat has agreed to accept the KAR Poison Petition and the Presidential Office will contact KAR with an appointment date and time. Watch This Space!!!.



Regards Lesley
