No, not those kind of cows.. 🐄🌱
Whenever you encounter someone who may be unconscious, unresponsive, or in need of help, remember to use C.O.W.S! 🐮❤️‍🩹

If the casualty doesn’t respond, they are considered unconscious. You should immediately call an ambulance and proceed with the DRSABCD action plan.

Knowing if someone is conscious can help you make the right next steps in first aid. Share is post to help your community to stay informed. ❤️

Which side should you position your dog for CPR? Most people assume one side is better and honestly we did too.🐾

The 2024 RECOVER Guidelines (active for 2026), the gold standard for veterinary CPR, recommend placing dogs in lateral recumbency but do not specify left or right, meaning either side is acceptable.

In an emergency the most important thing is not which side your dog is on. What matters is that you act quickly, compress correctly and get to a vet fast.

💛 Save this. Share this. It could save a dog’s life.

🫨 💓 Panic attacks can be a scary and uncomfortable experience.

A panic attack is a sudden wave of intense fear that can happen without warning.
They can feel overwhelming and terrifying. But steps can be taken to help you through the experience, or minimising having them happen in the first place.

If panic attacks are affecting your daily life, reach out to your GP, psychologist, or local community health centre for support. 👩‍⚕️🫂

You are not alone, let us know what strategies help you down below. 🫶

🤕 🚑 Falls are the leading cause of injury hospitalisation and death among women in Australia, and they particularly affect older people. A fear of falling can lead to less movement, increasing frailty and risk.

Let’s encourage:
🏋️ Regular movement (walking, water exercise)
👟 Sensible, supportive shoes
💡 A well-lit, hazard-free home
🦽 Assistive devices if needed‍
🏥 Regular check-ups with a health professional

As daughters, sons and loved ones, we can help.
A simple conversation about safety and staying active could save her life. 💌
