Black slugs are back on the beaches watch your dog,willow had a taste last night shes down the vets now, the vet said bring your dog in imediately if you suspect they have eaten them and they can induc e vomiting straight away,unfortuneately willow had abusy night tripping,tremblingand looking very crosseyed. hopefully shel'l be ok,the wifes gone away for the weekend i could be in alot of trouble
At the risk of sounding stupid what are these black slugs?
We just got a pup and will be walking him down dog beach soon
havent seen them metro but seen plenty up around Lancelin, especially at eddies point.
they just look like large blackish slugs amongst the weed on the beach. sorry, thats all I know.
Sea Slugs( Nudibranchs) we call them, some are alive when they wash up on the beach not good for dog to lick or eat
Generally oblong in shape, nudibranchs can be thick or flattened, long or short, ornately colored or drab to match their surroundings. They can grow as small as 0.25 inches (6 millimeters) or as large as 12 inches (31 centimeters) long.
They are carnivores that slowly ply their range grazing on algae, sponges, anemones, corals, barnacles, and even other nudibranchs

Hi Rad and Mal........wish you guys all the best for 2011.
Hope your dog gets better and the vet is not cruel.
Thanks again guys for the great session while I was visiting. Not even so sad about the board as I really am liking my back up board.
Looking forward to my next trip and just maybe we don't have honking easterlies for a change.
I really hope Willow pulls thru 100% for your welfare. She is going to seriously put that black belt to good use this time.
There a spare room down the back of my Taj mahal if you need to hide out.
Man you are screwed big time... this time.
Best to feed your dogs before heading to the beach and show them a slug, Tell them "NO, that's not dinner!" and flatten them if they go near it. I have found this method works. Hope I don't eat my words this year.
gday gruizi,same to you,just rang the vet, dogs barking they say shes going to be ok, going to keep her overnight just to be shure or just so they can bore it up me. no more sea slug slaying for me
They call them spanish dancers they are everywhere on the metro beaches at the mo I hit on accidently and anything that lets out a purple type blood has got to be bad for you and the pooches 
hopefully the K9 wont go near them again
Should google the picture of these some look amazing but not to many black ones though.
