Some clinics have a clinic cat, fish or reptile, we have an alpaca 😂

Eddie the alpaca joined us last week, as his owners had to relocate and couldn’t take him. He’s been settling in great and loves his own flock of sheep 🐑 With 17years young, he’s considered an old man, as alpacas often live 15-20 years.

Alpacas are from the same family as the llama, but are a lot smaller 🦙
Originally from South-America, they’ve been kept as pets for over 6000 years already! Although they can live up to 4800MAS, they also thrive on farmland.
Alpacas make a humming sound when they’re happy 😃
They have no top-front teeth, what makes them look a bit goofy!
Say hi to Eddie when you coming to the clinic, he loves a little treat 🥕 🥦

Have you already RSVP’d to the Farmers night from Pride in Putaruru in the Plaza this Friday? It’s a great night off the farm to socialise and even win some goodies!

Just like last year we’ve donated a voucher for scanning 100 cows, so come along and go in the draw! 🐮🐮

Bullseye 🎯 !!

Our serious ad didn’t really work, so we’re trying a different approach…:

Whoa, Putāruru Vets is on the hunt for a third vet to complete their vet squad! Want to be a part of it?

You'll work 15-40 hours a week in the beautiful South-Waikato, just a hop away from Taupō, Hamilton and epic beaches. With the focus on family time, you’ll fit right in with the small business vibes.

Our clients are mostly owner-operated dairy farms, with some companion animals, dry stock, and equine friends, so you’ll never get bored! We’ll hook you up with a sweet 4WD vehicle, laptop, smartphone, and cover your NZVA & VCNZ registration. Plus, we even bake treats for morning tea!

Afterhours rotation is just 1:4, so you can actually enjoy your free time.
Does this sounds like you? Contact us now!

It's that time of the year again 📦

With lots of people already on the move, we would like to welcome all the new people moving into our district. We are looking forward to meet you!

Good luck to everyone moving their stock, machinery, household and families over the next days. If you run into trouble with your animals, don't hesitate to give us a call! We're here to help 🐮🐶🐷

We already have people returning their used Teat Seal tubes to be recycled and that's great, but we would like to see more!

How it works:
• Return used, clean tubes, caps and/or buckets to us.
• We provide you with a returns receipt to include within your farm environment plan
• Tubes are sent to the Plasback recycling center and recycled into Future posts or planting trays!

Please do not mix Teatseal® tubes+caps with other products, as these can’t be recycled together (yet)!!

Do you want to know more or have any questions? Get in touch!

Teat sealing heifers and lunch outside in the sun, you can’t beat that on these amazing autumn days!

13/05/2024

It doesn’t matter if it’s 800 or only 40 tubes. All teat sealant gets to warm up overnight, making it more enjoyable for animals and our thumbs 👍🏾

Did you see the Aurora Australis this evening? It was even visible up here in the Waikato, a stunning scenery.
Enjoy the little things 🌙

It’s our birthday! 🎁

Today it’s been a year since Putāruru Vets opened its doors. Although sometimes it can be challenging to juggle everything, we love every day of it!

Thankfully we have a whole village behind us; family, friends, great clients, super helpful reps, a wholesome wholesaler, two little helpers that come to work although they might not want to and of course Lore, who not only is a great veterinarian but also an amazing person and forces us to take some time off so now and then!

So thank you to you all, up to the next exciting year !🐮
Axel & Liz

It’s that time of the year again!

Our team is busy out and about to teat seal heifers and dry off herds. Administering a teat sealant to maiden heifers pre-calving reduces clinical mastitis around calving, thereby reducing the cost and frustration associated with heifer mastitis.

If you would like to get your animals done, get in touch!

A serious case of Resting Cat Face…

19/04/2024

One of the many reasons we love our work.
When you arrive at a call and you find the farmer chilling with one of his cows to prevent her from getting cast 😁

16/04/2024

Today we went out on farm to talk about the importance of body condition scoring.
With people starting to dry off, it is important to keep an eye on the weight of your cows. Especially those girls that need a little bit extra, so you can be sure they reach their 5.0 or 5.5 (for first and second calvers) target for calving.

For more information or any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Days like yesterday remind us that autumn has arrived! Although we had some colder nights, FE spores are still found in the pasture.
Spore count for this week varies between 20.000 - 255.000spg.

Samples are taken from the Waotu/Puketurua area.

Have you seen the latest edition of the NZ Dairy?
A very proud moment for us!

You can find the article on pages 74-75 of the NZ Dairy Autumn Edition. https://digitalpublications.online/waterfordpress/nz-dairy-autumn-24/

31/03/2024

As far as the eye could see, the country was covered in a thick layer of mist with beautiful clear skies above during this morning’s sunrise ☀️

Spore count for this week is still up between 40.000spg and 185.000spg with an average of 97.500spg.

🐣 Happy Easter from the Putāruru Vets team!! 🐣

27/03/2024

We had little Rufus coming in today for a routine procedure. Look how cute he looks with his furry ears 🐱

22/03/2024

We had the first frost of the year this week down here in the Waikato! Although the frost can slow down the growth of the spores, they are still there!

Sporecount for this week is between 30.000 ad 160.000spg.

If your animals are due for their 2nd dose of zinc boluses next week, please be in touch!

Did you know Lore is a Certified Body Condition Assessor?

Besides scanning herds and calving cows this week, she also had to do her Body Condition Scoring reassessment and passed the test 😀
So if you need your herd or individual cows scored for body condition, don't hestitate to give her a call!

08/03/2024

Although the temperatures have been dropping overnight, facial eczema spores are still present in the area. This week's spore count varies between 50.000 and 220.000spg, a big increase from previous weeks.

Some people asked how we count the spores under the microscope, do we really have to count over 100.000 spores? Thankfully not!

After you shake a container with the grass sample and water, both chambers of two Improved Neubauer haemocytometers with cover slips are filled by capillary action (with which the water flows under the cover slip without any force). Only the spores in the middle large square and the 4 large corner squares are counted. These are marked green in the photo, while the red ones are not counted for the total number.

By multiplying the number of spores found in those squares x 5000, you calculate the spores per gram grass (spg).

Have a lovely weekend!

Although we’re all still very busy with scanning cows, there’s always time for puppy cuddles 💕

That’s teat seal season all wrapped up! Not only did we have lovely weather, but also an amazing team of ladies that helped working through the almost 17.000 teats we touched these last 6 weeks! And we’re all still smiling 😊

It’s always a surprise when you see two calves on your screen when scanning! You can see calf number 1 coming up first at the top half of the image, and as the image changes you’ll see calf number 2 further towards the centre. #putvet

It isn’t a horse, but too cute not to share! Being a Mixed animal vet means you see all kinds of animals. This little guy was brought into the clinic last night after wandering on the highway. He definitely likes his scratches! Note, we are at least an hour drive from the closest sea 🤔
