Staff members from Vets4Pets New Plymouth & A+ VET - Afterhours Plus Veterinary Emergency Taranaki teamed up last weekend, to go along to the Pooches Pool Party at the Todd Energy Aquatic Centre. It is an awesome annual event where the dogs of New Plymouth get to swim in the outdoor pools before they are closed over winter.

We had a great time, both clinics helped sponsor the event by giving away over 200 doggy goodie bags and providing free vet assessments for any injuries sustained at the party. Thankfully there were not many injuries this year, and most of the dogs had a blast!

Check out the cute photos below of some of the dogs and people enjoying themselves at the party 🐶🥳

Recently we have had a few clients sadly lose their rabbits unexpectedly. While the cause is not always confirmed, one possible cause can be Rabbit Calicivirus (Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease), a virus that can cause sudden illness in rabbits.
This disease can affect both domestic and wild rabbits and can spread very easily through insects, contaminated food, or contact with infected rabbits. Because the virus is also used to help control wild rabbit populations in New Zealand, pet rabbits can still be exposed even if they live indoors.

Signs can include:
• Sudden death
• Lethargy or weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Rapid breathing
• Bleeding from the nose or mouth
• Collapse or seizures

Vaccination is the best protection, and we recommend keeping your rabbit’s vaccinations up to date with an annual booster.
If you would like to check your rabbit’s vaccination status or book them in for vaccination, please contact the clinic on (06) 757 4838.
