A young woman has suffered 'significant' injuries in a dog attack just hours after another Queenslander was mauled and left in a serious condition.
Emergency services were called to a home in Mount Louisa, a suburb of Townsville, about 6.30pm on Tuesday, to treat the victim of a dog mauling.
The woman, aged in her 20s, was treated for a 'significant wound to her leg' before being taken to Townsville University Hospital in a stable condition.
Earlier that day, at 6.30am, a woman in her 60s was mauled by a dog at Burpengary, north of Brisbane.
She suffered 'significant' injuries to her hand and arm and was taken to Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a serious condition for further treatment.

Officers from Moreton Bay Council attended the home and seized the dog, the breed of which has not been revealed.
The attacks come a week after the Queensland parliament introduced tougher laws regarding aggressive dog breeds.
Owners face fines of up to $108,000 and even jail time if they are found to encourage an attack in which their dog inflicts serious injuries or kills a person.
