These protocols may differ from the licencing information for each vaccine used – this is because those contain the minimum needed to achieve licencing of the product, NOT Best Practice guidelines. Therefore, our use of the vaccines is considered “off-label,” but evidence-based. The aim of our protocols is to vaccinate ALL dogs and cats with as few vaccine doses as possible to keep them protected for life. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/seniors daily 0.75 2025-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614309847455-56OYVKHK5Q8NM3HQRVHE/www+old+dog+head.jpg Seniors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611276674631-31C37B9OLSD4ZWF63QM9/ACP+Senior+Cat+pic.jpg Seniors - Senior Cat Annual Care Plan It is vital for your cat’s continuing good health that we maintain their protection from disease by keeping their vaccinations up to date.

Statistically, a desexed animal is more likely to live a longer, healthier life compared to a non-desexed animal.

Unlike humans who have ACC and the public health system to use in the case of illness and accidents, there are only a handful of charitable organisations in New Zealand who may be able to assist with the cost of vet care for your pet. At RVC we are proud to offer your pet a truly comprehensive healthcare service, but understand that finances inevitably have to be considered when making decisions for your sick or injured pet. Therefore, we recommend that you take out comprehensive pet insurance so you are able to provide the best possible care for your fur baby when it is needed most. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611629937009-BCCHUI0AAS8UELNAVPWE/Dermatology+Woodend-12+cut.jpg Pet Insurance - Choosing the right plan for you There are several options available to suit various budgets and individual situations. Company websites are an excellent source of further detailed information, in addition to the items above, other things to consider include: • Are there any exclusions? • With life-long conditions, are there any “caps” limiting the total amount you can claim for or the period you are able to claim within? • Are there any limitations with respect to accident and emergency cover? • Are there any conditions associated with the insurance? https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/news daily 0.75 2025-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/430aad30-aa85-4bff-9a27-a423354e66f4/309384347_794109615350762_1547996333691283523_n.jpg News - Calf Rearer of the year 2025!

While on the OE he travelled extensively through Europe and also met the other (larger) half of his family on his father’s side.

His path to medicine was driven by a lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian, a goal he pursued after a successful career as a medical laboratory scientist and then running a stud Angus cattle breeding business in Australia's Hunter Valley. This unique blend of hands-on farming experience and clinical science makes John a passionate advocate for production animals and agriculture. He is deeply grounded in the practical realities of farming and focuses on systems that enhance production, the environment, and animal health and welfare. His academic foundation is equally broad, encompassing Veterinary Medicine, a Science Degree, a Diploma of Agriculture, and a Diploma of Conservation & Land Management. Beyond his clinical work, John bridges the gap between innovation and the field by managing on-farm research activities to high-quality standards (GCP and GLP clinical trials). This work involves collaborating with research partners and product suppliers on cutting-edge projects and ideas on advancing production systems. Some recent trials have included; investigating novel devices, registration studies for new veterinary medicines and products, GHG mitigation feeding trials, early intervention of lameness using AI technology, evaluating efficacy of trace mineral injectable products, and validation studies. When he isn’t working with clients or conducting research, John enjoys getting into the outdoors, travelling, biking and exploring the beauty of the New Zealand countryside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/0e831aff-9838-490d-aa4e-f5924009a344/Jevan+a.jpg Large Animal Team - Jevan Eady Large Animal Veterinarian BVSc Jevan (Pronounced like “Kevin” but with a “J”) Graduated from Massey University in 2017 and spent the following 4 years working as a mixed animal vet in South Waikato, before moving back to Canterbury to pursue a more dairy orientated role with the RVC Large Animal team in July 2022. Along with dairy cattle he also has a special interest in deer. When Jevan takes his Vet hat off, he’s into pretty much anything that gets him outside and moving, sports, river rafting, hiking, snowboarding etc. He is a nature enthusiast, food lover and loves a good coffee and a book too. Canterbury born and breed he was raised in south Canterbury in the small town of Southbridge where a couple of sheep, chickens, plus several cats and dogs cradled his passion for animals. This combined with a scientific background from his parents led him to pursue a veterinary career from an early age. 2 days before leaving the Waikato he was adopted by a little cat dubbed “Sprite”. A black and white DMH with a gloriously fluffy tail and face markings to rival Gene Simmons. After living in 4 houses in as many months they are both happy to have settled in Rangiora and look forward to exploring all the area has to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/5c8ce736-6923-40c6-9cb9-752507beb9b6/Matt+L+a.jpg Large Animal Team - Matt Lawrey Large Animal Health Technical Support Matt joined the large animal team mid 2023, having worked alongside RVC in his previous position, Matt has a clear understanding of the role and appreciation of our RVC client base. Matt has worked his entire career in the local rural sector. His agricultural degree and first-hand experience working on a variety of stock and cropping farms, (including managing a 500ha sheep and beef property) means he is aware of the challenges many farmers are facing. Couple this with spending the last 15 years in the Animal Health Industry, Matt is keen to draw on his knowledge and experience to help find clients solutions that align with their animal health goals and their business needs. Outside of work, Matt enjoys a number of different activities; vintage cars, jet boating, clay bird shooting, and enjoying an ale or two with friends to name a few. Together with his fiancee Sophie (a small animal vet and long-term RVC staff member), they live on a lifestyle block in Loburn, just up the road from where he grew up. Matt is looking forward to getting to know all the RVC farm clients over the coming months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/84b1544e-81a5-4e1c-a211-4d3634d3fecd/lucie.jpg Large Animal Team - Lucie Sneek Large Animal Veterinarian Graduating from Cambridge University in the UK in 2006, Lucie spent six years in a mixed animal practice in North Wales. During this time she developed a keen interest in bovine reproduction, and was able to implement many different reproductive programmes on farms to enhance their performance. She also has a special interest in bovine surgery, and performed laparoscopic AI and helped with the ET teams with sheep and cattle. Lucie has also spent time in Zambia, Nigeria and South Africa working with local communities and wildlife. Having spent a summer at university on a farm in Fairlie, including ski touring up the Tasman glacier, Lucie was keen to return to NZ. She spent two calving/mating seasons in Waimate as a mixed animal vet, returning to Wales for their calving/lambing season, some say she must be crazy doing two calving seasons in a year! The offer of having her dogs brought out was too good to refuse, so she returned to Waimate for two more years with animals in tow! She then spent a year in a dairy vet position in Ashburton where she implemented reproductive programmes based on ovarian scanning, before joining RVC in October 2017. Lucie loves the outdoors (biking, kayaking and climbing big hills) and owns two active dogs. Recently married to dairy farmer Theo they have a son Dougie who is showing signs he’ll love adventuring too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/a7182302-3244-4695-81f0-3ef2b6464580/Heather+VH+%282%29.jpg Large Animal Team - Heather van Hout Large Animal Veterinarian BVSc Heather is a passionate Large Animal Veterinarian with a special focus on lifestyle farm animal medicine and neonatal care, particularly for calves, lambs, and foals.

His path to medicine was driven by a lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian, a goal he pursued after a successful career as a medical laboratory scientist and then running a stud Angus cattle breeding business in Australia's Hunter Valley.

Some recent trials have included; investigating novel devices, registration studies for new veterinary medicines and products, GHG mitigation feeding trials, early intervention of lameness using AI technology, evaluating efficacy of trace mineral injectable products, and validation studies.

Burns do not appear on cats immediately as blisters or damaged skin as they do on humans. Some of the damage caused by the burns may take a day or two to become evident. If you don’t see your cat get burnt they may present with crying, reluctance to walk or limping tenderly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611342214078-F8SBOGD5OJLM7SQ7D5TT/faq+burnt+paws+2.jpg FAQ Burnt Paws - TREATMENT Wrap your cat in a towel to restrain it while you are treating them. It is safest to put your cat in a carry box for transport to the vet if this is possible without causing excessive pain. Wrap the affected paws with a wet cloth and pour water gently onto the cloth, or immerse the burned area in cool water. With many cats, this may not be possible. DO NOT rub or wipe the area, or apply butter or other ointments: they will not help and may make things worse. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-is-my-cat-in-season daily 0.75 2024-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611712411304-NCHA0LF3TVU7ZKEOTQ8J/faq+cat+in+season+pic.jpg FAQ Is my cat in season https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611711480651-2Z5SIYCHTZH8CWCK87P4/faq+cat+in+season+pic+1.jpg FAQ Is my cat in season - Signs to watch for Signs of a cat in season include being very vocal, flicking their tails in the air, and pushing their bottoms upwards while playing or being stroked.

This particular social media site is well monitored and has resulted in many happy endings for pet parents. We also advise you pop a picture of your pet, and relevant information up on any other neighbourhood facebook sites you belong too, especially specific to your location, where other neighbours might recognise your pet instantly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611883879011-DID4201Q8OOPSRB3LTSW/faq+lost+cat.jpg FAQ Lost and Found - help your cat find home Some people have had success with luring their beloved cat back home, or out of hiding, by taking advantage of their strong sense of smell. Leaving out items such as favourite toys and bedding, or hanging unwashed clothing covered in your scent on the clothesline. One important simple thing to do is to remember to check your cat flap is open, so if they do return home, they have no problem getting back inside. It is not advised to leave out litter, or strong smelling food, as this may only attract predators or other cats, which may frighten you cat away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611883952305-8BC9OGJ1JXJW70USLF8A/faq+lost+nzcar+pic.jpg FAQ Lost and Found - microchip & nzcar Far too frequently we come across microchipped pets, but the chip is not registered with New Zealand Companion Animal Register (NZCAR), thus reunion is difficult. It is very disheartening when injured pets are presented at vets who need their owners immediate love and attention, and owners cannot be found in time. If your dog is wearing their council registration tags, then making contact with the local council can help with reunion. However cats do not have council tags, these are the loved little pets, that, due to their wandering nature, are most likely to slip through the cracks and registration with NZCAR is of great benefit too. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-festive-season-dangers daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612144709520-IC3DFYIBIIWJF4PXRRNO/faq+festive+pic.jpg FAQ Festive Season Dangers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612144893995-OT25P8FHYMSMQASOZFXF/faq+festive+1.jpg FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Lilies If you love cats as much as we do, please choose your flowers carefully this Christmas. Lilies are really toxic to cats because they cause kidney failure. Loving cat owners should keep their house lily-free. Every part of the plant is harmful to a cat, including the pollen which may be ingested whilst grooming themselves. Other festive plants that are harmful to pets include poinsettias, ivy and mistletoe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/26b5daa0-695c-465b-a514-1276fe6f1f9c/FAQ+Festive+2.png FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Tinsel and decorations Tinsel is a dangerous festive decoration for pets. Ingesting even a small length of tinsel means they could suffer from an intestinal obstruction. Common signs that your pet has swallowed tinsel or any other long, stringy object are: • Pawing at the mouth • Vomiting and diarrhoea • Lethargy and weakness • Dehydration • Abdominal pain While tinsel is not poisonous, it is dangerous if swallowed as it can wrap around the tongue or anchor itself in the stomach, rendering it unable to pass through the intestines. As the intestines contract and move, stringy foreign bodies can slowly saw through the tissue resulting in severe damage. Your pet runs the risk of severe intestinal injury or rupture. Treatment for this inevitably involves abdominal surgery. Edible ornaments and decorations: Homemade macaroni ornaments, candy canes and chocolate coins are lovely festive items, but unfortunately they are harmful to our pets. Sugar from candy canes can cause a dangerous blood glucose surge in our pets. Chocolate is toxic (see more information below) and the wrapping foil and plastic can be problematic as they work their way through the gut. String-containing macaroni ornaments pose similar dangers to tinsel. It is best to place edible ornaments and decorations where your pet cannot reach. Candles & Lights: Just a reminder that lighting candles on or around a Christmas tree is extremely hazardous. Christmas trees are highly flammable and a pet can easily jostle the tree or knock over a candle. If using decorative fairy lights, keep them away from the bottom of the tree where pets can chew the electrical cords to prevent electric shocks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612145528566-DNL03HL3405RPLSJCZY0/faq+festive+3.jpg FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Grapes, sultanas and currants Grapes can cause kidney failure in dogs and cats so always keep these out of paws-reach; this includes grapes present as dried ingredients like sultanas, currants and raisins, recipes containing them and grape juice. The substance that causes the toxic reaction is unknown and even small amounts can prove to be fatal for dogs of any age, breed or gender. The most serious effect of this toxicity is severe kidney damage leading to sudden kidney failure, with lack of urine production being just one of many symptoms that will affect your pet. The reason why some dogs are affected excessively while others are not is still being studied. Symptoms from grape, sultana, currant and raisin toxicity can include: • Vomiting and diarrhoea • Loss of appetite • Lethargy, weakness, unusual quietness • Abdominal pain • Dehydration • Change in urine habits: passing a small amount, or none at all. • Foul breath and mouth ulcers • Tremors, seizures and in extreme cases; coma • Increased water intake If your dog has ingested grapes in any form, you need to contact your vet immediately. To give your pet the best chance of recovery, diagnosis and treatment needs to be sought before all the toxins from the fruit have been absorbed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/75cfe6fd-7114-4802-8a58-15468b4bbe79/FAQ+Festive+4.png FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Mushrooms, onions and sweetcorn Not all mushrooms are toxic however, some can be a gastrointestinal irritant. Others can be hallucinogenic for a pet and some can cause acute liver failure and death. Fresh, dried or powdered garlic and onions can cause a stomach upset and anaemia (low red blood cell count). The anaemia is caused by the destruction of red blood cells which in turn results in the reduced ability of the blood to carry oxygen to the organs that need it. In severe cases, the anaemia may lead to internal organ damage or even death. This toxicity is from the Allium species of plant which includes garlic, onions, leeks, scallions, chives and shallots. If you suspect your pet has ingested these, watch for the following signs and contact your vet straight away: • Rapid heart rate and breathing rate • Weakness or lethargy • Vomiting and diarrhoea • Pale gums • Red or dark coloured urine • Jaundice (seen as yellowing of the gums , skin and white parts of the eyes) Sweetcorn itself is not toxic – lots of dogs (and some cats!) love the odd little bit. However, the danger occurs with corn on the cob. When a corn cob is eaten by a dog, it is just the right size to cause a serious intestinal blockage. It is one of the most common foreign bodies we encounter. Please dispose of your corn cobs sensibly and ensure your dog is not given any. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/f0959d9f-68b8-4594-9435-04d062afad37/FAQ+Festive+5.png FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Avocado, stonefruit and seeds Avocado is a fruit, its leaves, skin and stone contain the toxin ‘persin’. This can be toxic to birds and some other animals but is generally non-toxic to dogs and cats. Avocados are rich in fats which could lead to pancreatitis, an extremely painful abdominal condition. Ingestion of the stone or pit is also a concern as this could cause a gastrointestinal blockage. With stone fruits (cherries, peaches, apricots, plums, nectarines etc.) the stones and seeds are more dangerous than the flesh. This is also true of apple and some other fruit pips. The stones, leaves and plants stems of these fruits contain cyanide, which carries an obvious toxicity risk. Cyanide poisoning in dogs causes symptoms including: • Increased respiratory and heart rate • Heart rhythm issues • Dilated pupils Apart from a choking hazard, fruit stones and seeds can cause gastrointestinal obstruction. If you are concerned your dog may have eaten any of these, please contact your vet for advice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/97e2bfb1-88ff-4113-b122-16bbe9afdeeb/FAQ+Festive+6.png FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Alcohol Your pet is not going to go to the fridge and pour a glass of wine or crack open a beer, but they can get alcohol through many other sources such as: rotten fruit, fermented products like unbaked dough and alcohol-laced desserts. Alcohol in dyes, mouthwash and paint also pose a risk to your pet, as do aftershave and perfumes which are common gifts at Christmas-time. Alcohol (also known as ethanol) can give your pet symptoms such as low blood sugar, low body temperature, vomiting and diarrhoea. Kidney and heart failure can occur in extreme cases. Nervous system depression occurs which can end in seizures or coma. Confusion, disorientation, unsteadiness and weakness are all symptoms of ethanol toxicity in dogs. A dog’s liver and kidneys are not meant to process ethanol. Given enough alcohol, people can pass out and for dogs; the consequences can be more severe after a much smaller amount. Make sure there are no open alcohol bottles available and if you spill any, clean it up immediately to prevent your pet from licking it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/6e8fce74-8280-4d95-bbee-d79a5be17662/FAQ+Festive+7.png FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Christmas Mince Pies, Christmas cake and Christmas pudding These common treats are eaten at all times of the day and can be found almost everywhere! They are dangerous for three main reasons: Firstly - they are full of dried grapes (see currants, raisins and sultanas above). In dried fruit, the toxin is more concentrated meaning they contain far more toxin per gram than fresh grapes. As dried fruits are small, we add lots to our baking meaning the finished product contains an even larger toxic load should our pets steal a Christmas treat to feast on! Secondly - they are full of fats. This can give them stomach troubles and is one of the main risk factors for developing pancreatitis; a very painful, serious and costly disease to treat (see below). Thirdly – they may contain alcohol which can cause many symptoms (see above). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c8717b6e-63b7-4429-ad42-909c7864f424/FAQ+Festive+8.png FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Cooked bones and fatty foods During the festive season we cook more meat joints than usual, resulting in more bones lying about the kitchen, outdoor and indoor dining areas. Once cooked, bones become brittle and splinter easily. This can lead to fragments getting stuck causing obstructions, gut irritation, constipation, diarrhoea and intestinal perforation, which is a very serious condition. Splintered bones damage the gums, teeth and throat; also posing a major choking hazard. Turkeys and chickens are hollow boned birds; these bones will splinter when raw or cooked so must never be given to your dog or cat under any circumstances. Make sure you dispose of the bones appropriately; the best thing is to take it straight outside into a sealed bin. The meat string also needs careful disposal as this can be harmful if swallowed (see above). Remember, our pets need an appropriate, balanced and quality diet to stay healthy. Too much of the wrong food can result in organ damage and other serious health conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/b1ac5d2e-1530-4072-b75a-11c149256b96/FAQ+Festive+9.png FAQ Festive Season Dangers - Nuts Most of the nuts found in the supermarket isle have potential to adversely affect our pets. They are all high in fats which can result in vomiting, diarrhoea, weight gain and pancreatitis. Macadamia nuts can cause symptoms, including weakness, vomiting, walking unsteadily, shaking, high temperatures and depression. It is unknown exactly what toxin macadamia nuts contain that causes this reaction in dogs and symptoms can last for up to 48 hours. Almonds can be difficult for dogs to digest and may cause an upset tummy. Walnuts can cause bowel obstructions if swallowed whole or in their shell. Walnuts (especially mouldy ones) are a particular hazard as they carry a toxin that can cause seizures and other neurological symptoms. Brazil nuts contain a particularly high amount of saturated fats and they also contain lots of selenium which potentially could cause selenium toxicity if ingested in large amounts. Cashews, peanuts and pistachios are not generally considered toxic to dogs.

Did you know that it is toxic to your dog and can cause life-threatening heart and neurological effects? The main symptoms are caused by the compound theobromine however; it also contains caffeine which contributes to its toxicity. The high fat content could also lead to pancreatitis (see above). Symptoms usually occur 6–12 hours after eating the chocolate. At first you may see: - increased water intake - vomiting and diarrhoea - swelling of the abdomen - restlessness Things can worsen and the following signs may be seen: - hyperactivity - increased urination, - unsteadiness, rigidity, tremors and seizures - changes in heart rate, rhythm and blood pressure - purple or blue tinged to gums that are normally pink - coma and death - increase in temperature Treatment and intense, expensive monitoring are necessary to improve the chances of survival. So please keep chocolate out of paws-reach. Eat it all yourself! Sugar free products containing the artificial sweetener Xylitol are also toxic to dogs. Xylitol is found in many “sugar free” foods and is regularly used as a sugar supplement. It causes a life-threatening rapid drop in blood sugar levels and can cause liver damage. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-how-did-my-pet-get-fleas daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612213924862-DFFZDHXJI3UHRO0SOEHK/faq+flea+head.jpg FAQ How did my pet get fleas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612212542199-2MYYGIZGBFS65YRJVJBH/faq+flea+1+eggs.jpg FAQ How did my pet get fleas - Stage 1 - Flea Eggs: Up to 50 white small flea eggs per day may be laid by an adult female flea on your pet.

(It is important to note that no insecticidal treatment kills pupae so it is important to remain vigilant with your prevention plan.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612212617491-WIZZ4IABQVECMM2M5YGM/faq+flea+4+adult.jpg FAQ How did my pet get fleas - Stage 4 - Adult Fleas: Young fleas are stimulated to emerge from the cocoon by your pet’s body temperature, movement, shadows and exhaled carbon dioxide. Within a second, your passing pet may acquire newly emerged fleas from its home environment and with adult fleas mating on your pet within 8-24 hours, the production of flea eggs and the cycle begins again at stage one with 24-48 hours. Development from flea egg to an adult flea can vary from as little as 12 days to as long as 325 days. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-raw-food-diet daily 0.75 2026-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1768265315210-7GODXIX1ALDGPCFVOBI4/unsplash-image-eOktYr3tAMo.jpg FAQ Raw food diet - Disturbing increase in health problems Admirably, many owners spend considerable time researching information to help them find the perfect food for their pet.

It is very disheartening when injured pets are presented at vets who need their owners immediate love and attention, and owners cannot be found in time. If your dog is wearing their council registration tags, then making contact with the local council can help with reunion also. However cats do not have council tags, these are the loved little pets, that, due to their wandering nature, are most likely to slip through the cracks. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-why-vaccinate daily 0.75 2026-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1768265695024-IZVY44X34Y446SD42TZJ/unsplash-image-XFLY0Yp3Gow.jpg FAQ Why vaccinate https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-is-rat-bait-poisonous daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612214661909-F6YMRKQDD7NP7E1E4ZCF/faq+antifreezejpg.jpg FAQ Is rat bait poisonous - YES it is very poisonous! The modern rat poisons are much more toxic to dogs (and rats & mice of course) than the old warfarin-based chemical poisons. They still work as an anti-coagulant (they stop blood from clotting so that the animal dies of internal bleeding) but the modern baits are much more potent. The amount of bait required to poison your dog is small and the amount of antidote required to treat it is much higher. Cats can be poisoned too if they eat any bait, and second-hand toxicity from eating poisoned vermin is rare but does occur. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612227816219-DHRT8IIH1FK91KCCG1W9/faq+rat+bait+pic.jpg FAQ Is rat bait poisonous https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dairy-news-bcs daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612232842595-6BJ5IMLGHGIJQQ3KZMAJ/www+dairy+news+bcs+Pic.jpg Dairy NEWS BCS https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-why-does-my-pet-itch daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1612217331864-BPW6OECOLNFISQCBE0TK/faq+itch+head.jpg FAQ Why does my pet itch https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/fah-cow-calf daily 0.75 2023-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614383868438-ZCQO585NIYK6R7HUJST0/dairy+head.jpg FAH Cow & Calf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1613953190659-T8O83KTXOVUE4GTG8KMS/www+fah+cow+pregnant.jpg FAH Cow & Calf - Getting a Cow Pregnant Like humans cows have a gestation period of around 9 months.

This section does not require a person to keep an animal alive when it is in such a condition that it is suffering unreasonable or unnecessary pain or distress. The welfare of animals under our care is of utmost importance and at the forefront of any treatment or decision made for the care of such animal. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/fah-poultry-lice daily 0.75 2023-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1613613765281-3518HTXUKL49HQ1XP87R/www+fah+p+lice+b.jpg FAH Poultry - Lice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1613613808061-Z8W2A48CDQ1RJA9GUG2B/www+fah+p+lice+1.jpg FAH Poultry - Lice https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/es-breeding-mare daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614387333397-RDIKWPW8BV52ECFSG3LM/www+equ+breed+head.jpg ES - Breeding Mare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614054171834-DDLMQJ11D28S4LOL6KPR/www+equ+breed.jpg ES - Breeding Mare Safety for your mare, yourself and the vets during the scanning and insemination is also a high priority. Rectal scanning has risks for your mare that we try to minimise by using a vet crush and sedation if necessary. We have a double crush at the clinic so a mare and foal can be contained together or two mares can be next to each other.

At Rangiora Vet Centre we strongly recommend that all prospective purchasers obtain a full veterinary examination before buying. Having a pre-purchase examination is never a guarantee that the horse won’t develop any issues in the future, but what it does give you is the knowledge that there are no discernible issues to start with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614047820696-E80UHPHRFLEXXYXSK68T/www+equS+sport.jpg Equine Services - PERFORMANCE HORSES We offer a wide range of services to ensure optimal performance in your horses • Lameness and poor performance investigations • Pre-purchase examinations • Pre-season health check • Biological treatments - PRP and IRAP and stem cells • Joint medications • Joint maintenance programmes • Chondroprotective therapy • Foot balance radiographs • Upper respiratory tract examinations • In-house blood testing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614044696562-VAFZ9L5TI7T8F2H0S8TB/www+fah+retail.jpg Equine Services - retail sales The Rangiora clinic stocks a wide range of equine products and drugs including: • Prescription Animal Remedies • Skin ointments • Mud fever treatments • Wound treatments and bandaging supplies • Internal and external parasite drenches • Oral boosters • Joint and vitamin supplements • Electrolytes Collection can be arranged from any RVC clinic, or delivery can be arranged, delivery fees may apply. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/es-herpes-virus daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614119151379-7RNMTD0NKSR5O2DRJIQ9/www+equ+herpes.jpg ES - Herpes Virus https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/es-skin daily 0.75 2024-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614122708215-MJB9LHO410PLRLLLD11A/www+equ+skin+lice.jpg ES - Skin - Lice Lice infestations are very often seen in spring, when your horse generally has a longer coat coming out of winter. A typical lice affected horse will be seen trying to profusely itch their tail and mane. There are two types of lice that affect horses, being biting and sucking lice with both causing pruritis (itchy skin). Similar to ringworm, lice are spread via direct contact between horses, so chances are if you see one horse itching the rest will have some level of infestation. Lice can best be seen using a magnifying glass or confirmed through coat brushing taken from the skin. Louse powder has commonly been used to treat infestations and does still have its place. However, in cases of heavy infestations, Ivermectin based treatments are the treatment of choice in killing the lice as well as the eggs they lay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614122460424-72QVATVNP5CEIR4ZOAVR/www+equ+skin+sunburn.jpg ES - Skin - Sunburn Now the days are warming up, be mindful of sunburn. More of a problem for horses with areas of unpigmented skin, large areas of white hair. Just like humans, the area becomes burnt and the affected skin peels off leaving the area raw and open for infection. As with all diseases, prevention is better than treatment and so horses that are prone to sunburn should have at risk areas covered in sunblock. If sunblock doesn’t appear to be working, then you shouldn’t hesitate to contact us, as there are underlying systemic issues which may be behind the problem. For example, liver damage can result in photosensitisation of the skin which can present similar to sunburn. Liver problems are very serious and the cause needs to be found and treated accordingly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614122775977-PFTOCC1WYZNC3BV9E38V/www+equ+skin+ringworm.jpg ES - Skin - Ringworm Dermatophytosis, more commonly known as ringworm, is a fungal disease that almost all people who own horses will experience at one stage in their lifetime. The classical lesions are seen as round/circular areas of hair loss and can present anywhere on the body. This is caused by the fungus invades the hair shaft, causing them to weaken and fall out. Ringworm is a highly contagious disease to both horses and humans, and can be spread throughout a stable through direct horse to horse contact or through indirect contact through such avenues as sharing brushes, using the same cover on multiple horses. On the bright side, ringworm is self-limiting, and recovery without treatment can occur ranging from anywhere from 1-6 months. However, for a shorter recovery time it is best to treat the cause, and in the case of ringworm is through anti-fungal shampoos. Coinciding with this the environment must be disinfected as well, so shared gear, covers, brushes must all be cleaned with an anti-fungal wash to prevent reinfection or new infections occurring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614122631754-U92CIVKZ65AWCLB6OTSI/www+equ+skin+mange.jpg ES - Skin - Chorioptic Mange Mange is a condition cause by a mite called Chorioptic equi, and is mostly seen to affect heavy feathered horses. Mites a usually found on the lower limb of horses, but in heavy infestations can spread to other parts of the body. In the case of mange, most of the damage is through self-trauma as the horse reacts to irritation, thus secondary infections occur results in purulent discharging wounds. Mange is confirmed through finding mites in a coat brushing of the affected areas. Secondary infections are best treated using antibacterial washes, and the best treatment relating to mites is clipping the legs, washing with anti-parasitic (Ivermectin based) shampoos and disinfecting the environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614122525300-BPWO6WNCNVLN4EKGUVOW/www+equ+skin+mudfever.jpg ES - Skin - Mud Fever & Rain Scald Mud fever and rain scald should be on everyone’s radar during the colder and wet months. These conditions are caused by a bacteria called Dermatophilus. Mud fever is seen to affect the lower limb and rain scald the body. Dermatophilus is a bacteria found in the everyday environment, and gains entry through damaged skin. The combination of damaged skin and wet conditions allows this bacterium to thrive, leading to scabs to develop and the skin beneath to become red, raw and sore. Treating these problems involves clipping the hair around the affected areas, and washing with either dilute iodine or chlorhexidine. Here at Rangiora Vet Centre we also have our own mud fever lotion that is made in clinic, just enquire at the counter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614122294089-YFMAK7MTREQ0RO5WL96O/www+equ+skin+warts.jpg ES - Skin - Warts Warts are caused by a virus called papilloma virus and is a common cause of lumps in younger horses as their immune system is still in development. They take appearance as your classic wart-like appearance, and generally found around the muzzle, lips and limbs. They are highly contagious to other horses, but are self-limiting so will resolve if left alone. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/equine-health daily 0.75 2023-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/90349dea-1ec5-412e-aae2-4e032e4289bb/equine+hoofcare+sm.jpg Equine Health - Hoof Care and Management The New Zealand Equine Research Foundation is most grateful to Dr Julie Bell for compiling this very important booklet on care and management of horses’ feet. As all horsemen and horsewomen know good feet are critical to the horse’s wellbeing and ultimately performance. Although this booklet is very simple it serves as a very good starting point for people to understand the anatomy and functional aspects of the equine hoof. The New Zealand Equine Research Foundation is a charitable trust created to foster education and research in the NZ Horse Industry. It is working hard to increase the opportunities in the industry for young New Zealanders and to provide a healthy and secure future for the industry and our horses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/57fd33c5-30ea-4242-a4f3-bffe8340ce97/eq+vaccine+horses+%281%29.jpg Equine Health - EQUINE VACCINATION https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/7c816544-052e-4d5c-b293-7baaca488af0/foaling+%28equine+Health%29.jpg Equine Health - Foaling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614122949119-0AQ1V3V43LWZXO0T1UJN/www+equ+skin.jpg Equine Health - EQUINE SKIN CONDITIONS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614051217502-IQ24XZGR4ACV1NVDXDI1/www+equS+dental.jpg Equine Health - equine dental CARE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/e9f8dbf6-21a3-4001-88c6-033f635c4907/Spotlight+case+%E2%80%9CWheezy+Breezy%E2%80%9D+%28equine+Health%29.jpg Equine Health - Spotlight case: “Wheezy Breezy” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1135add9-832a-4152-9aa1-50c6388adfe3/colic+surgery+%28equine+Health%29.png Equine Health - lifesaving colic surgery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/121b2473-74ec-4d66-ba1e-a6e7572b078a/Sequestrum+header.jpg Equine Health - Surgery is often needed for healing to begin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/8c602915-ba99-40b4-ab84-019c1553d5a9/head+shakers.jpg Equine Health - Electroacupuncture for head shakers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614126024096-W1VKZYHRPWHT7JSLTL1R/www+equ+hoof.jpg Equine Health - NO HOOF, NO HORSE! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614119832652-PWGLNU4PHNTMLARSQ9QC/www+equ+herpes+1.jpg Equine Health - equine herpes virus & Associated abortion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614118590986-E5FI89AK7LYJZYWZ8IOF/www+equ+breed+1.jpg Equine Health - breeding your PRECIOUS mare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614124620534-EPAIU4WB2URGN2RVNE70/www+equ+sel.jpg Equine Health - THE IMPORTANCE OF SELENIUM https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-autumn-dangers daily 0.75 2025-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1615057901217-OQWCJWIA92XFZX50WKRX/faq+atm+dog.jpg FAQ Autumn Dangers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1615058217540-ACFMZN6R3BYX6JQKUI3D/faq+atm+mushrooms.jpg FAQ Autumn Dangers - It’s mushroom season It’s mushroom season – steer clear!

Problems that can occur as a result of poor dentition include: Poor performance, weight loss, pain, gum disease and colic. Check up of your horse's mouth should begin at six months and continue for life. This ensures problems are identified and treated appropriately, before they become harmful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614120293777-21IGKKAQK5KXR5XR5AO6/www+equ+dental+3.jpg ES - Dental Care https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/es-no-hoof-no-horse daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614126188773-SCIOTHWUHSINSVMZ9GFN/www+equ+hoof+head.jpg ES - No Hoof No Horse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614132151723-S2TWTJL8TTXFRFT53C1G/www+equ+hoof+figs.jpg ES - No Hoof No Horse https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/404-rvc daily 0.75 2021-03-03 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/community-mainpower-stadium daily 0.75 2024-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1615076361921-X7V453AC24NEZVX5G5DJ/pic+collage.jpg Comm - MP Stadium https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1615084411472-X5MEDMVO1QFP4LJY9I1T/Gold+advert.jpg Comm - MP Stadium https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/pawsome-pet-baggage daily 0.75 2021-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1613936961728-89CE716J7037QTTHL8V3/www+pawspet+baggage+cert.jpg Pawsome Pet Baggage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1613937339008-Z3WGG153H2UJ13FKG3B0/baggage+fb.jpg Pawsome Pet Baggage - WE ADORE BAGGAGE She visits the Kaiapoi clinic regularly for fluids for Kidney care.

A stable is ideal, the middle of a paddock not so much. We also require a flat straight surface for trotting the horse up, and an appropriate sized area for exercising the horse for stage 3 of the examination. Most importantly we require a competent horse handler who is able to hold, walk, trot, and ride the horse for us during the examination. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/surgical-consent-form daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-stop-eating daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-cost daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/865295fa-ba20-4b09-9f18-1b98912c32ab/www+cost.jpg Dental: Cost - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/27425de1-93ca-49bb-9d42-717c77038196/SophieLside.jpeg Dental: Cost - Make it stand out Sophie Left Side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/de4a89e0-63e3-4217-adf8-d84cb2b249d7/SophieRside.jpeg Dental: Cost - Make it stand out Sophie Right Side https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-anaesthetic daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/annual-care-plans-terms-and-conditions daily 0.75 2025-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/54575f01-eefd-4b49-908e-3385098395ff/icon+strip.png Annual Care Plans Terms and Conditions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-missing-teeth daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-old-dog daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/19931c28-7700-4926-95c4-1efdcbcd6171/Jess.jpg Dental: Old Dog - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/168a959d-6b95-42a9-900d-f350317d8de5/Jess+tooth.jpg Dental: Old Dog - Make it stand out Jess’ tooth before the extraction, the lump in her gum showing her tooth resorption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/63bd9433-8b22-4486-a22c-2a2aebab7805/Jass+x-ray.jpg Dental: Old Dog - Make it stand out X-ray of Jess’ tooth, showing the extent of the resorption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/00d8962a-9387-4aa8-a7bf-e26b5bfe94b4/Jess+after.jpg Dental: Old Dog - Make it stand out After the tooth has been removed. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-extractions daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-rabbitsandrodents daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dental-routine-dental daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/b46a1226-9ec7-44db-bba6-8baec751f279/www+sub+check+teeth.jpg Dental: Routine Dental - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/e2510b0c-a2c5-4cf2-8aed-381b86b29f8d/Max1.jpeg Dental: Routine Dental - Make it stand out Once we anaesthetized Max, our dental team discovered the source of his bad breath: Max’s gums were severely inflamed and his teeth covered in tartar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/619ba465-1c00-4e5d-99e8-177131a66a9c/Max2.jpeg Dental: Routine Dental - Make it stand out Max when he came back for his post op check 5 days later—what a difference!

Helping your dog maintain optimum oral health aids in tooth retention, ensures the ability to continue good nutrition throughout life, and contributes greatly to overall systemic health and well-being. There is a direct association between inflammatory periodontal disease and cardiovascular, respiratory, liver, kidney and joint disease. So when you take care of your dog’s mouth, you are taking care of the vital organs - simply put, a healthy mouth equals a healthy body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/654d3baa-8949-4e21-847c-a6cd25bed8ba/dental+update+8.jpg Dental: dog dental homecare MODERATE GINGIVITIS & EARLY PERIODONTITIS Inflammation of the gums or gingivitis (the first stage in periodontal disease) begins when a sufficient amount of plaque and calculus are allowed to develop. A mouth at this stage of disease will usually show the following symptoms: • Yellowing of the teeth • Bad breath • Reddening of the coral pink gum tissue • Slight softening and loosening of the gum tissue encircling the tooth. If the gingivitus goes untreated over a period of time, your dog may begin to suffer from a painful inflammation of the gums that leads to a profound and irreversable separation of the gum tissue from the tooth. This separation is a visual indication of the shrinking bone mass and loss of ligament support for the tooth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/9262ceea-98da-4f44-ab00-3c98d3cb4c79/dental+update+9.jpg Dental: dog dental homecare ADVANCED PERIODONTAL DISEASE IS THE FOREMOST CAUSE OF PREMATURE TOOTH LOSS IN PETS This stage of periodontal disease usually involves a combination of the following symptoms: • Soreness of gums (often evidenced in your cat’s inability to eat) • Yellow or brown teeth (sometimes loose teeth in advanced stages) • Extremely bad breath • Red, swollen gum tissue with areas of ulceration • Softening of gum tissue and separation from the neck of the tooth, loss of bone support and probable loss of teeth. Fortunately, proper treatment may arrest gingivitis before your dog experiences advanced periodontitis or separation of gum tissue from the tooth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/4546766a-6c21-4ed7-a6ca-4dc72c45fa67/dental+update+1.jpg Dental: dog dental homecare - Make it stand out ROYAL CANIN DENTAL DRY DOG FOOD: Complete feed for adult dogs with dental concerns or a tendency for dental problems.

Helping your cat maintain optimum oral health aids in tooth retention, ensures the ability to continue good nutrition throughout life, and contributes greatly to overall systemic health and well-being. There is a direct association between inflammatory periodontal disease and cardiovascular, respiratory, liver, kidney and joint disease. So when you take care of your cat’s mouth, you are taking care of the vital organs - simply put, a healthy mouth equals a healthy body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/e7edb769-a7f7-4fc5-966c-26ed2abc1f56/dental+update+cat+7.jpg Dental: cat dental homecare MODERATE GINGIVITIS & EARLY PERIODONTITIS Inflammation of the gums or gingivitis (the first stage in periodontal disease) begins when a sufficient amount of plaque and calculus are allowed to develop. A mouth at this stage of disease will usually show the following symptoms: • Yellowing of the teeth • Bad breath • Reddening of the coral pink gum tissue • Slight softening and loosening of the gum tissue encircling the tooth. If the gingivitus goes untreated over a period of time, your cat may begin to suffer from a painful inflammation of the gums that leads to a profound and irreversable separation of the gum tissue from the tooth. This separation is a visual indication of the shrinking bone mass and loss of ligament support for the tooth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/0f833d54-54c5-4f2d-9a1d-0275a56c72d6/dental+update+cat+8.jpg Dental: cat dental homecare ADVANCED PERIODONTAL DISEASE IS THE FOREMOST CAUSE OF PREMATURE TOOTH LOSS IN PETS This stage of periodontal disease usually involves a combination of the following symptoms: • Soreness of gums (often evidenced in your cat’s inability to eat) • Yellow or brown teeth (sometimes loose teeth in advanced stages) • Extremely bad breath • Red, swollen gum tissue with areas of ulceration • Softening of gum tissue and separation from the neck of the tooth, loss of bone support and probable loss of teeth. Fortunately, proper treatment may arrest gingivitis before your cat experiences advanced periodontitis or separation of gum tissue from the tooth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/5be9d493-a332-4d8a-8b5c-f61bd28cb183/dental+update+cat+1.jpg Dental: cat dental homecare - Make it stand out Royal Canin Cat Dental Complete feed for adult cats with dental concerns or a tendency for dental problems.

Whilst mild deficiencies can generally be corrected with treatment, as with most things, prevention is far superior. The following steps should be taken to prevent vitamin D deficiency: • Shear all animals in spring (to maximise vit. D synthesis in the skin) • Supplement all growing alpacas (<3yo) in late autumn, mid-winter and early spring • Dose 6000iu vitamin D/kg bodyweight under the skin every 8 weeks (2 months) - This calculates to be 1ml of ‘Hideject’ for an 80kg adult alpaca • Supplement pregnant females 4 - 6 weeks pre-partum (e.g. 300 days gestation) to ensure adequate colostrum levels of vitamin D for cria https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/faq-chronic-kidney-disease daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1646099270895-ASWXW68BC9K2MEX0HEFK/cat+drink+water.jpg FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c4f9af45-56a8-4f45-919a-b2a2536c0116/cat+kidney.jpg FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c819720a-aa81-431c-9725-7b2eb4ee2fa7/lethargic+cat.jpg FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/46846542-30a1-4f76-8c89-e057cfc77836/CKD+1.png FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease - 1. Protein Content An ideal diet for a cat with renal failure has a restricted and highly-digested protein content, as many of the toxic products that accumulate in the blood in CKD are a result of protein breakdown. The cat will feel better when protein content is correct. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1f8f3c6f-6cf7-4939-807d-1dfc4192a7c5/CKD+2.png FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease - 2. Low phosphate content Restricting the phosphate content of the diet appears very beneficial in protecting the kidneys from further damage in cats with CKD, so this will help prolong the life of cats with CKD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/7fd8c029-1bb3-4d12-8218-129b6dc3f117/CKD+%281%29.png FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease - 3. Water intake Cats with CKD are more likely to become dehydrated (due to the reduced ability of the kidneys to conserve water). Maintaining a good fluid intake is therefore very important, and may help to slow progression of CKD. Use tinned or satchet food, or a water fountain, to ensure adequate water intake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/fd90ac46-efac-49ab-bfdf-0cdbe3b67842/CKD.png FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/bd228f02-6ba1-4544-aae9-397d25cb3e64/CKD+6.png FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/e9eba902-e280-4291-9c69-395086d56de6/CKD+4.png FAQ Chronic Kidney Disease If, at any time, you are concerned about your cat’s health, please do not hesitate to call us.

It should be noted that all of the above treatments were administered on twice daily milking farms (even using once a day products). This study reinforces the message to take samples from mastitis cows (pre-treatment), especially if you’re having a run of mastitis, multiple cases in a cow, or non-responsive cases. Our in-clinic lab can run a sample and have an answer in a day (even quicker than culture), helping us to make informed decisions about your cows. It also highlights how well straight penicillin can work as an effective mastitis treatment on farm. Find out your farm’s mastitis bugs’ sensitivity to different antibiotics with a dairy antibiogram (see article) for a herd-level picture, or send in a mastitis sample for a cow-level picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c4f24399-0c8b-4703-bf3f-21e9b08036fc/September+2020-8+%28penicilin+1%29.jpg DNA 0920 PENICILLIN TO TREAT MASTITIS -

Take Home Message Around half of calves won’t be fed by the dams in the paddock. This leads to around 75% of calves having FPT if no intervention is taken i.e. tubing of calves with colostrum. In calves with FPT this can be corrected if tubed early by the farmer with good quality colostrum (>22g/L). In periods of bad weather calves are much less likely to drink from the dam and we should expect FPT to be higher if no intervention is taken. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dirty-cows daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/9dd1ec3c-9cc1-482e-8b00-25e8862f6d79/dirty+cows+1.png 0721 Dirty Cows - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1fc9bce9-ebea-4706-9658-b16ea77bc05e/dirty+cow+2.png 0721 Dirty Cows - 1 = clear mucus with no pus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/bdbafc9d-4907-48c6-8b18-1026adb9402a/dirty+cows+3.png 0721 Dirty Cows - 2 = mucus with flecks of pus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/83c78c16-6d3a-41e8-917c-b3e776e41add/dirty+cows+4.png 0721 Dirty Cows - 3 = mucus with <50% pus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/44f3e9b4-ddb4-450e-add9-beb6d2194906/dirty+cows+5.png 0721 Dirty Cows - 4 = mucus with >50% pus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/7ca64af5-5a27-49ce-9f9e-f33b8546d30b/dirty+cows+6.png 0721 Dirty Cows - 5 = mucus with > 50% pus and foul odour. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/post-calving-disease-focus-ldas daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/6d36c76a-0e36-4dc6-a00f-de506e21dd47/DNews%2BOct2021-5+%28LDA+1%29.jpg 1021 POST CALVING DISEASE FOCUS - LDA’S - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/0921-drenching-adult-dairy-cattle-eprinex daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/155a58c5-04da-4526-b536-4d4378db8e10/eprinex+2.png 0921 Drenching adult dairy cattle: Eprinex - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/112ef009-b2eb-4e7a-92f9-9e48f8af2f32/eprinex.png 0921 Drenching adult dairy cattle: Eprinex - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/bloat-oil-or-rumenox daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/e2cc09bb-7d2e-4fd4-a2da-54633db9c695/Bloat+oil+or+rumenox.png 1021 Bloat Oil or Rumenox? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/owp-quake-dental daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/a259234b-9d00-4daf-87e9-7d86cb197151/quake+5.jpg OWP - Quake Dental - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059241270-0BG2JGD9BGHX5J4LY9WC/quake+1.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059241278-1IW3BVFUI3VMKEXVXIDJ/quake+2.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059242689-O80B2WORLAUVK26KII7B/quake+3.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059243695-5M246W4E602M6KQGPKO8/quake+4.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059245790-QOISPW2L74RWXACHHHN0/quake+5.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059246322-CFGM2SDUEPG0N4SIHFN0/quake+6.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059247053-JI46F2QOWOVB9GZST8K8/quake+7.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059248495-JCTUH779QYA3V6VXIFUJ/quake+8.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1652059249312-PPTXWGA4MBAEJU38GIQT/quake+9.jpg OWP - Quake Dental https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/when-she-wont-get-up-down-cow-nursing-care daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/fc089169-f041-4deb-9c71-17f4df9a6ecb/How+Now+5.png 0721 When she wont get up DOWN COW NURSING CARE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/aa62d997-3ef4-4f86-b975-7a5c1db971a5/Dairy+cow+lying+down.jpg 0721 When she wont get up DOWN COW NURSING CARE - PREPARE NOW • Prepare a downer cow kit containing essential metabolic bags and oral solutions. • Prepare a down cow area where adequate nursing care can be provided. Good nursing care improves a cow’s survival and prevents secondary damage. • Train staff in handling down cows. As always, we are happy to provide advice but the hard work and dedicated care must come from your team. A half-hearted approach will only yield poor results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/063a8299-b13f-4ebc-984b-d96d6976e204/Dairy+cow+lying+down+2.jpg 0721 When she wont get up DOWN COW NURSING CARE - TIPS • Before giving a metabolic bag, immerse the bag in a bucket of warm water – this will make it easier to absorb. • Check the udder! Severe mastitis can cause a cow to go down. • Consider preventative treatment of cows at greatest risk or subclinical milk fever. • Do everything on Day 1 to keep the cow’s motor running. • Metabolic solutions are only a part of the treatment kit – lime flour and magnesium supplementation are essential. • Use anti-inflammatories & pain relief if she stays down or has suffered trauma. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/feels-like-summer daily 0.75 2025-01-09 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/nitrate-testing-of-winter-crops daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/02e0dc3c-733c-445e-a441-610a2cda75ef/transitioning-pod.jpg 0521 NITRATE TESTING of winter crops - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/protect-your-farm-and-your-family-from-salmonella daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/9790205f-2cd9-4a5d-b04e-2bb0c3ee336b/Salmonella+1.png 0421 Protect your farm and your family from Salmonella - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/b959ccaa-4d8d-48da-b1f2-b215c7246d3e/Salmonella+full+size+1.png 0421 Protect your farm and your family from Salmonella - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/2c587019-ada4-4fc7-8fac-a0c75c5c5f61/Salmonella+full+size+2.jpg 0421 Protect your farm and your family from Salmonella - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/downer-cow-care daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/5418abd3-0f08-4389-8cd4-3a6cd9d8588b/July+2020-5+%28downer+1%29.jpg 0720 DOWNER COW CARE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/d6347f7c-4ea1-46e4-ad66-ffbab98de44b/July+2020-5+%28downer+2%29.jpg 0720 DOWNER COW CARE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/439513af-6405-4712-9b9d-5c1ede5d9ee9/Dairy+cow+lying+down+3.jpg 0720 DOWNER COW CARE - KEY POINTS: • Set aside a downer cow area in advance (now!) • Treating the primary condition is great, but this is worthless unless you prevent secondary damage. • A half-hearted approach will yield poor results.

The toxins can be ingested directly or can be produced by clostridia bacteria already living in the gut. Clostridial diseases have extremely quick onset of clinical signs and can cause sudden death. Tetanus and Botulism are two of the most well known clostridia bacteria. Control of these diseases is best achieved by vaccination of susceptible animals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/6be48d7d-88c1-4811-b42e-77715ffabd66/download.jpg 0721 Debudding - Vaccination of calves Best practice is to give the first vaccination of a 5 in 1 vaccine at debudding with a second and third injection of 7 in 1 (with lepto) at 4 week intervals. A 10 in 1 vaccine can be given instead of the 5 in 1 injection if your herd has a high risk of clostridial infections. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/suspected-poisoning-of-heading-dog-after-calf-milk-replacer-ingestion daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/389d220d-5479-4e93-848b-7fdcc6c7ae99/calf+milk+replacer+poisioning.jpg 1019 Suspected poisoning of heading dog after calf milk replacer ingestion - Make it stand out Fi is recovering after her ordeal but still has some nerve issues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/cba0b712-9c60-4036-8c76-59b48bd9cdf2/heading+dog.jpg 1019 Suspected poisoning of heading dog after calf milk replacer ingestion - In Summary Please be extra vigilant when making up, storing, and feeding calf milk replacer, calf meal and chick crumb – it could be fatal for your working dogs, pets, and potentially people if drunk by mistake.

OAD milking occurs on weekends and every week is the same. - 10-in-7 milking has little impact on milk production and can be adopted at any stage during the season. - Cows settle into the new routine quickly. Overall animal health improves, reduces lameness and improves body condition. - Staff wellbeing improves through flexible rostering, reduced work hours and creating a better workplace to retain and attract new staff. - 3-in-2 is gaining in popularity with 26% of South Island herds using it at some stage during lactation. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/early-aged-pregnancy-testing daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1655422824114-9H7TM3OZPS0DVR5HWXLE/unsplash-image-AlxJrnhfDsQ.jpg 1221 Early Aged Pregnancy Testing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/improving-milk-quality daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1655419791028-D4GONBAJKSPBXMGU23HG/unsplash-image-tfWDvABRe1I.jpg 0621 Improving Milk Quality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/13867326-7e2a-4652-82af-52e50f5ee5a7/milk+quality+1.jpg 0621 Improving Milk Quality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3ad39d86-162d-455b-9caa-e1b13eab330a/milk+quality+2.jpg 0621 Improving Milk Quality - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1655420034200-AB3D9NUEWTZG6EC13CSB/unsplash-image-5APBLfC2hUs.jpg 0621 Improving Milk Quality - Key Points • Cows get stressed and this can easily deplete adequate trace element levels. • Multimin can help reduce the impact these stressful events have on trace element status. • Which can halve clinical mastitis and quarter subclinical mastitis post-calving. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/heifer-synchrony-exciting-results-from-a-local-rvc-trial daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/53ea1c24-bf17-4d20-8423-0dadb03d9898/Co-Synch+program+1.jpg 0921 Heifer synchrony: Exciting results from a local RVC trial - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c9d1899e-21c0-44e4-8602-8977fbd6bf88/Co-Synch+program+2.jpg 0921 Heifer synchrony: Exciting results from a local RVC trial - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1655678521424-26EHCSY3YCGIUMU07TQ4/Co-Synch+program+3.jpg 0921 Heifer synchrony: Exciting results from a local RVC trial - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c9755b22-1a60-4255-b24c-5e9ba6bfe9ba/Co-Synch+program+4.jpg 0921 Heifer synchrony: Exciting results from a local RVC trial - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/bc227c0a-eb3a-491a-b5f6-4420d4ed3a64/Co-Synch+program+5.jpg 0921 Heifer synchrony: Exciting results from a local RVC trial “Having heifers on the Co-Synch Program, means I know when they are going to calve so I can plan and manage accordingly.

It also has a major anti-oxidant role and is essential for immune function. Selenium levels vary more day to day than the likes of copper. Blood levels reflect the recent history of supplementation and are a good indicator to assess if your supplementation is adequate. Cows will almost always be getting selenium through a dosatron or similar method, but sometimes require extra supplementation on top of that! Never forget your youngstock as well, selenium is incredibly important for their growth and performance in the long term. Ideal Ranges: Blood: April – Dec: 800 – 1400 nmol/L Blood: Dec – April: 300 – 500 nmol/L Liver: 4000 – 6000 nmol/kg for optimum levels Youngstock < 21 months • Blood: 300 – 500 nmol/L • Liver: > 1500 nmol/kg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/fc28cc55-0799-4cae-9826-98676de7b896/cow+1.jpg 0522 MINERALS; the highs & lows - COPPER Copper has many roles in the body from being a key component of the immune system to activating enzymes to ensuring proper growth. The liver is like a storage tank of copper. However, the relationship between blood and liver copper levels very rarely matches up, only in deficiency. This means that the blood levels of copper will only be low when the liver levels have already dropped. Copper liver levels decrease over winter, which is why it is always good to test and supplement pre-winter (Dry off time!). We can have adequate blood levels at the same time as low liver levels pre-winter; so we cannot always rely solely on bloods. Testing liver levels can be done at the works on cull cows or via liver biopsy performed by a vet. Ideal ranges: Blood: 8 – 18 umol/L Liver: 500 – 1500 umol/kg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/423e5378-76a9-44f8-b5be-cc29deef0443/cow+3.jpg 0522 MINERALS; the highs & lows - IODINE Iodine ensures that metabolic, reproductive and bone function occurs at an optimum level as well as maintaining normal embryo and fetal development. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can result in goitre in newborn animals, this is the reason why all of our table salt is iodised! We have been seeing lots of deficient and low results coming through from heifers and dairy cows this year as we have increased our testing. Lucky enough iodine is easy to supplement in both youngstock and older cows. Ideal range: Blood: > 45 ug/L https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/f4ed88de-727c-4ef9-a4f4-67e6f3a2da54/calf+1.jpg 0522 MINERALS; the highs & lows - COBALT Cobalt is required in order for the body to make Vitamin B12. B12 itself has a large role in energy metabolism, which is rather important for our growing youngstock or milking cows. Decreased milk production, decreased fertility and an increase in metabolic disease are all associated with Vitamin B12 deficiency. Cobalt/Vit B12 deficiency is actually quite rare in cattle; lambs and sheep are much more susceptible to the disease. Much like selenium, cobalt is not stored in great amounts of the body. Therefore blood testing is important to determine if our animals are receiving adequate cobalt over time. Ideal ranges: Blood: > 150pmol/L Liver: > 370 nmol/kg https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/culture-to-cull daily 0.75 2023-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c9203b24-0150-4a64-8c8c-e63f1c53c742/Cull+1.jpg 0522 Culture to Cull - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/71f2e6a5-d9a4-4c26-acd8-787711e7e348/Cull+2.jpg 0522 Culture to Cull - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/cb524293-c0da-4bec-93af-9b2e5a6b3288/Cull+3.jpg 0522 Culture to Cull - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c1bc2c53-fdb0-409b-871b-3da89eac5ab6/Cull+4.jpg 0522 Culture to Cull - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/fah-hoof-care daily 0.75 2024-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/b2707d31-cf4d-46b1-bd71-102625b0d503/hoof+hero.jpg FAH Hoof Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/6afb6137-3324-47c0-bd73-9fd18032679e/hoof+shelly.jpg FAH Hoof Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/ad2bf414-5d01-4a39-9de9-13626ce131b7/hoof+rot.jpg FAH Hoof Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3fa24f1f-4969-41ab-aeb3-5e842ea00ceb/hoof+scald.jpg FAH Hoof Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/7bdaea53-e463-43af-afd2-364c34e1b750/hoof+abscess.jpg FAH Hoof Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/997bde18-7eb2-4e46-b31b-cefce967ccd3/hoof+strayberry.jpg FAH Hoof Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/are-your-cull-cows-fit-for-transport daily 0.75 2024-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/5b4bc025-93e7-4197-8b1e-886978b2a620/Screenshot+2024-04-24+161337.png 0522 Are your cull cows fit for transport - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/e35a5a98-4d9a-447a-9d4d-85806c71cb70/Cull+transport+1.jpg 0522 Are your cull cows fit for transport - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c643d7e1-91b8-4956-b78c-35f9d4fe5cfe/Cull+transport+2.jpg 0522 Are your cull cows fit for transport Dairy cows should not be starved. Stand off pasture for 4-12 hours before transport BUT provide roughage/dry feed and water until loading on the truck. You can then add CALCIUM and magnesium to the hay/baleage/palm kernel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/68d47b8b-fa69-486d-86f0-e3bec98f0682/Cull+transport+3.jpg 0522 Are your cull cows fit for transport 1. Add 100 grams of lime flour per cow to feed during stand off (4-12 hrs before transport). This provides each cow with 35g of CALCIUM. An alternative supplement can be used but it must contain the equivalent amount of CALCIUM. 2. Also give 60 grams Causmag. Note that this contains Magnesium not CALCIUM so is not a substitute for Calcium supplementation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/593f6987-aee8-4387-9341-3d9e895a9d94/Cull+transport+4.jpg 0522 Are your cull cows fit for transport The extra CALCIUM could be given as an oral drench, or a slurry poured over dry feed. If no roughage is on hand it is possible to mix with dry feed/meal in troughs in the yard/shed. Use the same rates as for colostrum cow supplementation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/973b966e-78cb-453c-9559-b342adcf51e0/Cull+transport+5.jpg 0522 Are your cull cows fit for transport - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/4382201f-ed3d-493e-99dd-713495d16bca/Cull+transport+6.jpg 0522 Are your cull cows fit for transport - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/sleepy-sickness-in-sheep daily 0.75 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1768951787580-ZEBJ30JLCZ8UEICMTG66/unsplash-image-otaUFQ_nGWA.jpg FAH Sleepy Sickness in Sheep - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/8d950125-442a-476b-9e94-db1e7ccc4fde/sleep+sheep.jpg FAH Sleepy Sickness in Sheep - Energy deficiencies can be: Primary energy deficiency – Inadequate nutrition offered.    Secondary deficiency – Adequate feed is offered, but a period of stress or illness causes a short period of decreased feed intake.  The latter is the most common issue we see. At face value the feeding levels appear to be good but at this critical phase of gestation the ewes are walking on a precarious knifes edge of balanced energy intake vs demand. A short period of inappetence (due to such things as inclement weather, yarding, lameness, illness) can be all it takes to reduce energy intake and therefore push the ewe over the edge and into a downwards spiral of reduced energy intake –> increased ketone bodies –> inappetence. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/eh-sequestrum daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/13923f2d-ff2c-418e-92f2-e464ce6e7a93/XRay.jpg EH - Sequestrum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/7539032c-d183-4048-98d3-1ba657201d9a/pre+surg.jpeg EH - Sequestrum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3e2b0835-0dd9-41b3-b548-7111c387cc2d/pre+surgery.jpg EH - Sequestrum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3717c36b-31e4-4ca9-8265-38bc42c9052a/surg.JPEG EH - Sequestrum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/580c26c5-54eb-4160-a6ac-b8e11e967965/bandage.jpeg EH - Sequestrum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/21358850-9778-45e1-b426-8f075d0dafdd/proudflesh.JPEG EH - Sequestrum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/02a7a222-94d5-474e-b104-012b049f0a7f/proudflesh+2.JPEG EH - Sequestrum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/8c45a834-f893-4d67-898b-78b82cefc55c/proudflesh+3.jpg EH - Sequestrum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/cdb39500-b7ad-4862-bb7d-5dbceaa62687/mum+and+daughter.jpg EH - Sequestrum - Mum’s support Ishink’s mum Kate was by her side throughout her recovery period. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/cc4ee186-d65b-478e-80d1-39d678234fe2/healed.jpg EH - Sequestrum - All healed We are pleased to report that Ishink now has a completely healed wound, and a scar to show her mates.

This helps to combat superficial infection that can inhibit feather re-growth and speeds up healing. Follow this with the use of a poultry saddle to hide the area until the feathers have grown most of the way out, then remove the saddle for 24 hours before reintegration, this gives the bird time to preen the feather shafts off and fluff out the new feathers. Remember: anything you apply to the feathers will likely be ingested when the bird preens, please ensure it’s not toxic! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/f927bcb3-86a2-417b-9d62-a336c5743fb0/penguin.jpg FAH What you need to know for keeping laying poultry - Make it stand out Distension of the belly area ends up affecting breathing and leads to birds adopting what’s known as the penguin stance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/2ed7e013-184a-4637-8d69-2d7ce0833e80/chickens+%282%29.jpg FAH What you need to know for keeping laying poultry - Summary Watch out for the following: • Feather picking and bullying/cannibalism. • Straining and prolapse associated with egg binding. • Abdominal distension associated with egg peritonitis/abdominal cancer.

The main cause of a blood spot is a small break in one of the tiny blood vessels around the yolk that occurs when the yolk is ovulated. High levels of hen activity during the time of ovulation can increase the incidence of blood spots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/4590c40d-5f67-47b7-b35c-e0dc5a972a78/Meat-Spot+w.jpg FAH Chicken Reproductive System Meat spots are usually brown in colour and are more often associated with the egg white. They form when small pieces of the wall of the oviduct are sloughed off while the developing egg is passing through.The incidence of blood spots can be higher in brown-shelled eggs, and are harder to identify via candling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/2d6967d9-afbe-49ab-b74f-d1f7dc3b7b88/repro+fig+5w.jpg FAH Chicken Reproductive System In commercial operations, eggs with blood spots and meat spots typically are identified during candling and removed.

Unfortunately, if you are a breeder, or have the birds purely to supply lots of eggs, your best course of action is to have the bird humanely euthanised. For a breeder the condition could be heritable or contagious and cause future flock problems. For the person wanting eggs most of these condition/treatments even if successful result in reduced or zero egg production or the bird is prone to future episodes. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/chicken-snuffles daily 0.75 2023-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/0f1db7b1-14c0-44ae-a8a4-d883e78fd99d/chicken.jpg FAH Chicken “Snuffles” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3b810acf-42d4-4c88-af95-745424bd5355/M-gallisepticum-colonies-2-hours-PI-CER-GEN.png FAH Chicken “Snuffles” - Make it stand out Mycoplasma Gallisepticum Colonies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/a2b9ba23-cb50-4537-90b8-c57601aa3ffa/resp+1.jpg FAH Chicken “Snuffles” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/fa40551f-86c2-46cc-b5d5-7c90470ae621/resp+2.jpg FAH Chicken “Snuffles” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/f149ae0a-87ec-4e11-ba96-4d9def340130/resp+3.jpg FAH Chicken “Snuffles” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1673820498536-5OIJEHPKUD6T59ATGAPD/chickens.jpg FAH Chicken “Snuffles” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/fah-goats-kids daily 0.75 2023-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1677790403335-4L8GXZMZAG83F3P34Q57/Goat+cover.jpg FAH Goats & Kids https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/6e115497-1c22-4a51-b8ab-f04c308f7040/kid.jpg FAH Goats & Kids - Abomasal Bloat in Kids Bottle-fed kids developing abomasal bloat can be really stressful and loosing a kid to this condition can be devastating.

Monitoring weight gains and stock condition will give a visual indication of the effects of worms. Collecting samples of faeces to perform a faecal egg count (FEC) is the most useful guide to determine when to drench. Then conduct another FEC 7-10 days after drenching to determine the effectiveness of the drench and whether any drench resistance is developing. Collect a fresh faecal sample, one heaped teaspoon, into a plastic pottle or freezer bag and bring this to the clinic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/abeabf0f-edd3-448c-a777-81b82985825c/sheep+pic.jpg FAH Sheep Drenching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/36e17412-9f96-4de7-9d14-9e7a3e19d6cd/web+key+point.png FAH Sheep Drenching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614381898406-GUIWFZBM3YZD8HNP1PUI/a+download+pdf.jpg FAH Sheep Drenching - Make it stand out Download sheep drenching information and checklist. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/fah-goat-drenching daily 0.75 2024-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/2395a492-4d30-4d72-a7e6-f061458b58a0/Goat+drench+tile.jpg FAH Goat Drenching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/4b042769-10e1-4aa0-84a6-d65e87dd29e5/web+graph.png FAH Goat Drenching - Make it stand out Generalised seasonal pattern of infective larvae on the pasture arising from untreated goats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c502ee8c-a8f8-4851-9178-0e1d475f52a4/web+goat+cycle.jpg FAH Goat Drenching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/7783fc6d-65ca-4375-b896-786043b27bd4/web+grass.jpg FAH Goat Drenching - Make it stand out The vertical distribution of infective larvae on grass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/25167235-814a-45a9-91bb-95bccc284de9/specimen+1.jpg FAH Goat Drenching - Monitor and treat Before deciding on an appropriate drenching strategy, it is important to know what is happening on your property.

In 2002 a visiting vet student called Sophie from The Royal Vet College in London, had a work experience placement with Rangiora Vet Centre. She continued on her travels, returning a few more times over the next couple of years, she liked us and we liked her, but most of all, the animals liked her too! 15 years ago she returned for good and joined the Vet team. In September 2024, we celebrated and congratulated Sophie Neilson, now our Clinical Care Manager, a much loved, skilled, caring and compassionate person, who is widely appreciated by our team and clients, on 15 Years with us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/55a8bc21-a889-49d7-b3a7-c84fe54311f4/RVC+Award.jpg Student Placements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/8dd2863f-a924-4567-ae10-9b21afb3e5a6/Deb+G+award.jpg Student Placements - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/0ff039d5-a4d7-4383-918f-60a1b5658b0c/Deb+10+year+1.jpg Student Placements - We're celebrating Deb! Our wonderful vet nurse, Deb, has reached 10 years of service at RVC! Many of our clients know Deb for her expertise, kindness, and the genuine care she shows every pet. But what a lot of people don't know is that behind the scenes, Deb organises and mentors the student nurses on placement, sharing her skills, knowledge and making them welcome in our busy clinic.

Fortunately for Blackie, recent research in antiviral drugs used in emerging human viruses, including the virus which causes COVID-19, have shown success in a high proportion of cats with FIP (about 80%). Blackie received a 6-week course of Remdesivir (made famous by Donald Trump, if you remember) and is now considered in remission. He is now allowed to go outside again, after 10 months indoors, and Mum and Dad report that he is now back to his usual busy and cheeky self. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/b1964185-1eb1-41ff-9589-dfdc30471169/PP+Cert+Blackie.jpg Pawsome Pet Blackie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/cut-and-paste daily 0.75 2025-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3b225653-d299-440a-854e-418a3914ed56/E6+tile.jpg Cut & Paste Referral Services Newsletter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/569b023b-cf9f-42cc-8a20-83898e0175b6/tile+edition+5.jpg Cut & Paste Referral Services Newsletter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/8fbef209-6c89-4957-bbd9-0643cc1507fa/E4+www+tile.jpg Cut & Paste Referral Services Newsletter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3b58468b-54c6-4c93-bd2a-201623dea96b/E3+www+tile.jpg Cut & Paste Referral Services Newsletter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/cf3a469d-f930-4bb1-9055-04f557b0c3e1/E26+www+tile.jpg Cut & Paste Referral Services Newsletter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/347528d6-d825-4d26-8232-60a7c4b6083a/E18+www+tile.jpg Cut & Paste Referral Services Newsletter - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611280442224-T40PRAUOTDPAJKJQ5H1E/BP-hospital-rgb.jpg Cut & Paste Referral Services Newsletter https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/dnews-teat-score-to-reduce-mastitis daily 0.75 2025-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/0728a14c-2e86-4508-ae03-5fa7d5bf05fc/teat+score.png DNews Nov23 Teat Score to Reduce Mastitis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/c2440b8a-c147-4f67-8b59-05cbc422beb3/udder+health+check+www+sm.jpg DNews Nov23 Teat Score to Reduce Mastitis - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/fah-itchy-sheep-goats-alpacas daily 0.75 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/51f438c3-8f64-40d3-bdc8-291a65b86761/hair+on+fence.jpg FAH Itchy Sheep Goats Alpacas - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/referralsurgery daily 0.75 2025-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611280442224-T40PRAUOTDPAJKJQ5H1E/BP-hospital-rgb.jpg Referral Surgery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1634868031327-J3987O1AUZFET3GJXHXT/ben+scrubs+sm.jpg Referral Surgery - Make it stand out Dr Ben Leitch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1616633435721-M7VYKG9G5SFL108357NC/Katie+www.jpg Referral Surgery - Katie Duncan RVTS.

She has an appreciation for all aspects of surgery from complex fracture repair and emergency care, right through to the finesse and delicate nature of soft tissue surgery. As well as surgery itself, she is also interested in pain management and post-op rehabilitation. Outside the vet clinic Lauren loves horses (and spending money on them), along with her partner they have a number of 4 legged friends including a very special rescue dog which sports a prosthetic leg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/740e0722-efb3-49a1-a0e7-51a90be9cfe6/cutandpaste+logo.png Referral Surgery - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/internal-medicine daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611280442224-T40PRAUOTDPAJKJQ5H1E/BP-hospital-rgb.jpg Internal Medicine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/a2d311eb-9f67-4f17-84cf-b7d8920f4295/Sarah+m+a.jpg Internal Medicine - Sarah Montgomery Medicine Special Interest Veterinarian Sarah has a postgraduate certificate in small animal medicine (PGCertSAM) and has worked in referral practice in the UK, first as a rotating intern at a large referral practice in England and then as a medicine/imaging clinician in a hospital in Northern Ireland. Prior to this she worked in general practice in the UK and NZ for over 5 years. RVC is very excited to be able to offer her medicine referral service. The 24 hour hospital facilities mean that the patients get 24 hour veterinary care in house and the large team of amazing nurses means we can offer 1-to-1 care to any of the more intensive patients. We are pleased to be able to offer treatments that are difficult to organise in general practice such as blood transfusions, chemotherapy and CT scans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/9a0f505e-98d0-4ee4-b39d-3dd8dfa1610a/for+www.jpg Internal Medicine - INTERNAL MEDICINE TEAM Veterinarian Sarah Montgomery (centre) is supported by two dedicated veterinary nurses, Andrea Pieper (left) and Kayla Feary (right). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/740e0722-efb3-49a1-a0e7-51a90be9cfe6/cutandpaste+logo.png Internal Medicine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/internal-medicine-referral-form daily 0.75 2024-01-01 https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/0424-why-do-we-use-dry-cow-therapy daily 0.75 2024-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/3f0f48bd-c2be-4975-bbfb-aecd136ab9bf/Screenshot+2024-05-02+144511.png 0424 Why do we use Dry Cow Therapy?

As vets, we are commonly asked to insert nose rings to the nasal cartilage of domestic pigs. The main reason for this request is that pigs and humans tend to have a different idea of what the ideal ‘feng shui’ of a paddock looks like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/a79c861e-17fb-41cb-a5f0-9b1625434092/animals-4028140_1280.jpg Should you put a ring on it? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/parasite-control-horses daily 0.75 2024-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/013d7e12-2ca3-4b24-829e-238f5586d3c9/horse-905534_640.jpg Parasite control in horses BASIC PARASITE LIFE CYCLE Adult parasites live in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract (gut), producing eggs. These eggs are passed in the faeces, where they hatch into larval stages and become infective on the pasture. These larvae live on the pasture, get eaten by a horse, and then become adult parasites again, which mature and produce eggs. Some of these worms have larval stages that migrate into the gut wall, into arteries or other organs. These are the larvae that will do damage to the horse. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/pawsome-pet-rocco daily 0.75 2024-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/652da652-4b7e-4d75-94de-00e76a775479/thumbnail_rocco.jpg Pawsome Pet Rocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1727223613325-OK83XO19T6G5T1J87HTN/thumbnail_rocco+1.jpg Pawsome Pet Rocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1727223612898-FA2R5UDR406UP98M8WLV/thumbnail_rocco+2.jpg Pawsome Pet Rocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1727223614689-8ZQPGM3DN013ZRAJB0UN/thumbnail_rocco+3.jpg Pawsome Pet Rocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1727223615142-F1SHW580EUS58289YDH0/thumbnail_rocco+4.jpg Pawsome Pet Rocco https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/coccidia daily 0.75 2025-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/9ca745b8-5371-4669-98d4-2e3b6acc1bce/COCCIDIA.jpg COCCIDIA: The real problem -
