Dangerous animals and wildlife to watch out for in Dorset

Mink They may look sweet and harmless from afar but the mink have a vicious and aggressive nature that has had a major impact on our native fauna in Dorset over the years. American mink - Pixabay The American mink (which we have in Britain) were brought here for fur-farming but the lethal rodents either escaped or were released into nature by activists in the 70s. Mink have a devastating effect on wildlife, preying on vulnerable species like kingfisher and water vole but they will also attack domestic pets. Luckily with the resurgence of the otter population across the country, mink are becoming a lot more rare. 

Forest Veterinary Clinic issue warning to dog walkers after three adder bites

A VETERINARY clinic has warned dog walkers that their pets are at risk of being bitten by adders following three incidents in the past few weeks. After the hot and dry weather coaxed the snakes out of hibernation to sunbathe in the grass, three dogs had to be treated at Forest Veterinary Clinic, which has clinics in Fordingbridge and Ringwood. The adder is the UK s only venomous snake and its bite can result in swelling around the wound. This can be severe for animals and humans alike. Head Veterinary Nurse at Forest Veterinary Clinic, Rachel Russell said: Adders can be found in heathlands or places where they can bathe in the sun. After lockdown, everyone is walking more and going further afield, so you tend to see the snakes more often. Dog owners need to be aware that the snakes are probably there.
