IMPORTANT PET ALERT: Babesia gibsoni detected in NZ.

You may have heard about the recent detection of Babesia gibsoni in a dog in Canterbury this week. Here's what you need to know:

What is it? Babesia gibsoni is a protozoal parasite that damages red blood cells causing anaemia in dogs. It's transmitted by ticks and can also spread through blood transfusions and dog bites. Symptoms vary but can include fever, lethargy, anemia and blood clotting abnormalities. Severe cases may lead to organ failure and death.

Action Needed: To protect your fur friend, make sure their flea/tick prevention is up to date. If your dog shows symptoms or if you're not sure if their treatment is up to date, contact our team for advice.
