Everyone here at CVC would like to wish our Vet George and his partner Sacha, Pisco (the cat) and Percy (the best dog in the world) all the best for the future and for their new adventures that await them in New Zealand. We will miss you George and you too Percy 🥰

Did you know we stock ezydog express harnesses? They take less than 10 seconds to put on your dog. Our staff can vouch for these and your dog will love them.

Cat vet visits don’t have to be hard work!
Does your cat find coming to the vet stressful?
Rosie recently had to visit the clinic for a sore eye. Before she came into the clinic she had some "chill pills” at home to help her relax. Her carrier was sprayed with the feline facial pheromone “Feliway” which helps to alleviate the signs of fear and stress in cats. A towel coated in “Feliway” was also used in the consult room to comfort her. Rosie then enjoyed a delicious chicken Churu treat to distract her during her eye examination. Luckily for Rosie, some allergy medications has her eyes back to normal!
If your cat needs some help to keep calm at the vet, let us know prior and we can arrange some pre consult medications so your fur baby can have a positive experience with us!
Got to love those post bath Zoomies. 🥰
We would like to give a big shout out to all the women who make up a huge part of the CVC team. They deserve all the recognition and appreciation today and every day. Not only are they dedicated, hard working and inspirational, but they are funny, awesome cooks (you can never have too much cake) good friends and the best bunch of women to work with.

Flyboss is a fantastic resource for sheep farmers regarding management of flystrike in sheep.
The following summarises their recommendations for treatment for flystrike.
1. Shear struck wool and a 5 cm barrier of clean wool around the strike close to the skin to remove maggots.
Unless wool is shorn off it is likely that maggot trails will be missed and sheep will remain struck.
2. Collect the maggot-infested wool into a maggot-proof (plastic) bag and leave the bag in the sun for a couple of days to kill all maggots. This breaks the life cycle, which is especially important if the maggots have survived on sheep that have had a preventative product applied previously and these maggots are resistant to the product.
3. Apply a dressing to the shorn area to kill any remaining maggots and prevent re-strike.
A dressing has two purposes: to kill remaining maggots and to prevent re-strike as the affected area is drying and healing. Where maggots may remain, a dressing that rapidly kills maggots should be applied; these contain either ivermectin, spinosyn or organosphosphates.
Note that “Clik” is not an appropriate dressing for flystrike wounds as it takes 4 days to kill the maggots. It can be used as a preventative or in conjunction with an appropriate dressing.
4. Severely affected animals may require systemic antibiotics and pain relief.

We thought our client was bringing us in a picnic lunch today when they turned up with this basket. But something even better was inside, 7 week old Shotput came in for her vaccinations today. She is one playful kitten 🩷 Enjoy your weekend.
Did you know we now stock lick mats? These are a great aid for helping cats and dogs who maybe anxious about coming into the vets. Whether it is getting their nails done, being vaccinated or just general handling. Lenny was not too sure about getting his nails done and as you can see, once we put the lick mat down covered in peanut butter he was more than happy for us to do his nails. Call into the clinic and check them out.
