Three children have been injured after being attacked by dogs in separate incidents across Queensland.

Two children and a woman were injured in animal attacks across the state on Wednesday in a spate of serious attacks, the Queensland Ambulance Service said.

Paramedics were called after a male child suffered a head injury after being bitten by a dog at Shailer Park, south of Brisbane, about 8.40pm.

The boy was taken to Logan Hospital for treatment.

The incident followed an attack on a three-year-old girl at Yatala on the Gold Coast about 5.20pm.

Several dogs were seized after the attack, which involved the toddler being bitten on the neck and head.

Paramedics transported the girl to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in a serious condition.

In the state’s north, a woman was also bitten on the leg near Townsville and taken to hospital in a stable condition.

On Monday, a six-year-old suffered chest and abdominal injuries when she was mauled by two dogs in the southern Brisbane suburb of Woodridge.

A family member who intervened after the girl was pulled from a fence by the dogs was also injured in the attack.
