Seek vet advice if you suspect dog liver disease
Owners who have unwell dogs that were fed fresh or frozen raw pet food bought between 31 May and 3 July should contact their veterinarian immediately.
This warning comes as Agriculture Victoria is supporting a PrimeSafe investigation into a cluster of dogs affected with severe liver disease.
Victoria’s Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Graeme Cooke said dog owners should look out for a sudden loss of appetite, lethargy and jaundice in a dog that was previously healthy.
“We advise on a precautionary basis that if your dog has consumed fresh or frozen raw pet meat and your dog is unwell, please contact your veterinarian immediately,” Dr Cooke said.

HM Land Registry has confirmed it is working with a handful of software suppliers to support the migration of local land charges (LLC) data onto its central registry.
A spokesperson said it has arrangements with four companies that provide systems for LLCs – DEF Software, Idox, Northgate and Agile Applications – to migrate the data in England and Wales to the LLC Register, with the aim of completing the move by 2025.
DEF Software said it agreed its partnership with the agency in December 2020 and is now working with 13 local authorities to update their land charge modules.
This involves developing the interface of its system to facilitate a smoother migration of the data to the central register developed by Kainos.
