Dementia Advocate Vivienne, whose husband David lives with dementia, has always loved libraries.

And her love for libraries has only grown since she used the Dementia Australia Library following her husband’s diagnosis.

“The Dementia Australia Library was such a valuable resource for me while caring for my husband,” Vivienne said.

“I strongly recommend that people think of libraries when they are looking for information, support and community.”

Tomorrow, 14 February is Library Lover’s Day, which celebrates the valuable role libraries play in our communities.

The Dementia Australia Library is the largest publicly accessible dementia library in the world and is free to join.

Access ebooks, audiobooks, topic guides or browse the extensive collection by signing up for the Dementia Australia Library here: https://alzheimers.softlinkhosting.com.au/liberty/libraryHome.do?corporation=AlzheimersAustralia&invokeRegister=True&_open=1

🌡️ Heat Stroke: A Serious and Often Fatal Emergency 🌡️

Over the past two weeks, our Noosa clinic has treated several cases of heat stroke. Tragically, not all pets have survived.

Heat stroke can develop rapidly, particularly in hot and humid conditions. In humid climates, pets are unable to cool themselves effectively through panting because moisture in the air prevents heat from dissipating. Even short walks, playtime, or being outdoors for brief periods can become dangerous.

🐾 High-risk situations include:
• Walking during the heat of the day
• Exercise on hot or humid days
• Poor ventilation or shade
• Brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds
• Elderly pets, overweight pets, and those with underlying health conditions

⏰ Please avoid walking your dog after 9am and before 5pm, especially on warm or humid days. Early mornings and late evenings are safest.

🚨 Signs of heat stroke may include:
• Excessive panting or drooling
• Lethargy or collapse
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Disorientation or seizures

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you suspect your pet is overheating, seek veterinary care immediately.

Your awareness and prevention can save lives. Please help us protect our pets by sharing this message. 💔🐶🐱
