It has made my life so much easier and so much less stressful for Sushi. Truly a life saver!” – Dr Nicole Wyre

我們呼籲各主人暫時避免前往數碼港（薄扶林）、The Pulse商場（淺水灣）和西貢郊遊公園，在任何時候狗隻都以狗帶牽引，散步時需格外留神注意任何可疑物品，防止狗隻進食可疑食物，必要時戴上筐狀口罩。另外，先記下住處附近的急症獸醫診所地址以備不時之需。如果您懷疑狗隻吃了一些可疑或未知的東西，或發現任何異常症狀，請不要嘗試進行任何家居治療 ，立即帶同您的寵物到獸醫診所求醫。

As of this morning on 9th February 2021, VSH has now received a total of 8 suspect poisoned dogs, all of which have been at Cyberport (Pok Fu Lam) on 7th February 2021. We were able to send one patient home this morning but still have 3 of the suspect poisoned patients hospitalized in our VSH HK ICU with round the clock care from our ICU team, along with specialist care from Dr Erik Zager, VSH’s Emergency Critical Care Specialist, and the Emergency Service team led by Dr Jo Mockford the past two evenings.

We still do not know exactly what poison is being used, but we are collaborating with multiple Hong Kong veterinarians, veterinary toxicology specialists abroad, and the Hong Kong Police to help narrow down and identify the poison, leading to possible life-saving treatment.

We want to continue to recommend all dog owners to avoid Cyberport (Pok Fu Lam) and the Pulse (Repulse Bay), be aware of reported poisoning cases in Sai Kung Country Parks, keep your dog on a short leash at all times, keep an extra eye on suspicious items on the ground, potentially use a basket muzzle if needed, and know the location of your closest emergency veterinary hospital. If you suspect your dog might have been exposed to poison, do not attempt to give any home treatments, please bring your pet to the emergency veterinarian immediately.

If anyone has any information related to the poisonings, please contact the Police Hotline at 3660 6611 / 9824 1367 (24-hrs) or email to wdist-dcs-1-office@police.gov.hk and the SPCA Inspectorate at hotline 27111000 or email to ip@spca.org.hk.

VSH Emergency Services are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on both sides of the harbour. Please call 2408 2588 if you have any questions or concerns.

STAY SAFE!!
