Heatwave could cause your dog to suffer from heatstroke

Jul 13 2022

As Malta experiences one of the hottest summers in history, with heatwave after heatwave, dog experts have reminded owners of the dangers that heatstroke can present to their furry companions.

Temperatures are set to hit 33°C and this means that taking out your dog for a walk or even a swim to a local beach can expose it to this deadly condition. Alan Grixti, who presented a petition to increase the number of dog friendly beaches in Malta to parliament, has also recommended that dogs be taken to the beach before 9am to avoid the worst hours of sunlight.

A spokesperson from the Kennel Store, one of the UK’s largest dog housing store, also said that “Heatstroke is a serious illness in which a dog begins to overheat and isn’t able to effectively lower its temperature,”.

A dog’s natural body temperature is normally around 38.6°C and if that temperature increases and the dog begins to overheat, they are in serious danger of becoming unwell. Symptoms of heatstroke may include panting, weakness, collapsing, confusion, vomiting and diarrhoea which may include blood, seizures and death.

Kennel Store also advised the public to make sure that an area of shade is always available to your dog and that if any of the symptoms are present in your dog’s day to day life to contact a vet as quickly as possible.

Tanti was paddling alongside Adam Jones and, as they were navigating the calm seas, they met a ‘heavy presence of purple jellyfish.’

He said that the creatures were in their thousands drifting in the water and that ‘the presence of these creatures did not dampen thee day, as after all they were in their habitat’.

He did however say that the reason for the shaky footage was to avoid getting stung by one or more of the jellyfish. The invasion of jellyfish in Maltese waters has been making rounds in the news this summer as they are found in droves all over the islands.

Swim safe, watch out for warnings and make sure you are equipped to deal with any nasty stings!

The fight against rising cost of living needs a solution says PN MP

Jul 13 2022

Addressing a press conference, PN MPs Charles Azzopari and Rebekah Cilia discussed the rising costs of living and said that this issue needs immediate addressing.

Speaking during the address, spokesperson for the rights of workers and land ownership Rebekah Cilia said that the islands’ consumers are feeling the massive weight brought on by the rising cost of living.

‘We issue an appeal to the Labour government to take concrete action in the face of such an issue’ she said. ‘The government cannot remain inactive against this problem.’

Cilia recounted the anecdotes of pensioners who spoke to her and exclaimed how, by the end of the month, they are being left unable to buy the basic supplies for daily living such as bread, milk or pasta.

‘This is a problem which everyone is facing’ she said, highlighting people who need specific medicines, farmers facing issues with their expenses, as well as other people who cannot enjoy the luxury of an annual trip abroad.

On his part, Speaker for the Rising Cost of Living Charles Azzopardi said that this ‘threat’ is crushing the lives of many Maltese families. ‘We need to see that these families get a decent life and one that they deserve.’

‘Everyone is feeling the extra and unneeded pressures brought on by the rising costs of manufactured products, energy supplies, hospitality services, property (which doubled in these past 9 years), the increase in prices of oil, wheat and cereals and many other services.’
