Budding is doing fantastic after his gelding by Vet Services Dannevirke and is resting up well. Home seems a bit quieter without them so I’m already looking forward to bringing them home again next week.

⚠️🦠 Babesia Gibsoni 🦠⚠️

You may have seen in the media a micro-organism, Babesia Gibsoni was found in a dog in Canterbury. The affected dog was euthanised at its owner's request because it was extremely unwell.

There are currently no detected cases in the North Island, but this is a firm reminder all pet owners should ensure their cats and dogs are up to date on flea, tick and worming medication! 🪳🦟🐛

What is Babesia Gibsoni?🔬
Babesia gibsoni is a tick-borne parasite that mainly affects dogs. It is widespread around the rest of the world, including Australia.

How is it spread? 🦠
Along with ticks, the parasite can also be spread through dog bites, blood transfusion, and through the placenta from an infected mother to her pups

There are several approaches to treatment, although they do not completely eliminate the parasite. This means dogs may remain carriers once infected.

How did B. gibsoni get into New Zealand?
Biosecurity New Zealand has robust measures in place to prevent B. gibsoni coming into New Zealand. We do not currently know how this dog became infected or how widespread B. gibsoni is in the dog population.

Please get in touch to check if your pets parasite treatments are up to date.

🐣🐰Easter can be a busy time for our clinics. Egg hunts, family gatherings and planting the autumn vegetable garden are all activities with dangerous temptations for our pets which can lead to an emergency trip to the vet!!

Here’s a few classic Easter treats that can be very harmful for your pets and should therefore be avoided:

🍫Chocolate contains caffeine and chemical called theobromine – both are dangerous to cats and dogs.

🍇Hot cross buns contain sultanas and raisins. Sultana, raisins and grapes can cause significant damage to kidneys which may be irreversible.

🍗🦴Cooked bones can cause a multitude of problems which lead to a trip to the vet (constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, choking, foreign body obstructions, broken teeth and infections).

🧑‍🌾👩‍🌾🐌Easter is a popular weekend for autumn gardening. Dogs are attracted to slug and rat baits and will seek it out so please be careful when using it on your property and lock used boxes away.

We will have emergency care available 27/7 over the long weekend and are only a phone call away if you need URGENT assistance. 06 374-7021
