These will be especially handy for folks with cats living in the cat curfew areas:
Bonner, Crace, Coombs, Forde, Lawson, Mulligan’s Flat, Wright, “The Fair at Watson” development and Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve.

Hey, I gave this a go. Ordered in the middle of the day on the Monday. The goods were in my hands Tuesday morning! (Australia Post Express Post, so response times may vary). Very good for those compulsive last minute birthday presents!

Comment on Cortisone by KK

Hi Karen!
glad your little foxie responded so quickly to the antihistalone. It usually is very effective for allergies but we have to be very careful of the short and long term side effects of the cortisone in it. Please discuss your observations with your vet before continuing the tablets.
If the gnawing and chewing start up again after the course of tablets you might consider a cortisone cream or spray that is not absorbed into the body.
The short term effects of cortisone in the body include drinking and eating more.
To avoid long term side effects we reduce the dose to every other day after about 5 days.
If we don’t reduce the dose after 5 days the adrenal glands start to slow their production of natural cortisol. It is safe to stop after 5 days of daily tablets but if a longer course is needed follow our instructions carefully. Usually we recommend every other day tablets so that the adrenal glands keep functioning.
If you decide to keep the tabs up for longer than 5 days do not stop giving the tablets suddenly in case the adrenals have closed down. Your pet may not be able to step up the production of cortisol fast enough to cope with an emergency, like a dog attack, a new pet or illness, and may collapse.
Longer term and more serious side effects of cortisone include:
ï€ Production of Cushings disease signs like a pot belly, flakey skin, enlarged liver and weak legs
ï€ Development of diabetes in predisposed individuals
