A toddler has been rushed to hospital with serious injuries following a viscous dog attack. 

Emergency services were called to a property on Paterson Road in Yatala, north of the Gold Coast, around 5.20pm on Wednesday following a report a dog had attacked a child.

The three-year-old was taken by ambulance to the Queensland Children’s Hospital.

‘Concerningly, another young child has sustained significant injuries from dog bites,’ Queensland Ambulance Service said.

A three-year-old was taken to hospital with serious injuries after being attacked by a dog at a Gold Coast property on Wednesday 

‘Multiple paramedic units were called to a private address in Yatala at 5.20pm and transported a child to Queensland Children’s Hospital in a serious condition with head and neck injuries.’

Gold Coast City Council said multiple dogs had been seized from the property by animal management officers and an investigation was under way, the Courier Mail reported.

Three dogs, including a German Shepheard and Bullmastiff, were seen being removed from the property about 7pm.

The news comes just days after a six-year-old girl was attacked by two dogs in Woodridge, south of Brisbane, after climbing on a fence.

Emergency services were called to an Ormesby St property just after 4.30pm on Monday.

The child was rushed to Queensland Children’s Hospital in a serious condition after sustaining significant abdominal, chest and shoulder injuries.
