🌼Clinic Special 🌼

Bravecto Quantum has arrived at Eltham Vets, and we are excited about what we can now offer for flea and tick prevention. Bravecto Quantum is an injectable form of fluralaner, the same active ingredient in other Bravecto products, and is formulated in a way that offers a whole year of flea and tick prevention all at once. This means that you can tie in your flea and tick prevention at the same time as your annual vaccinations and rest easy that they are fully covered until next year!

We are currently offering a deal on this product to celebrate its arrival, mention this post when you are booking in your dog for its Bravecto Quantum, and you will receive $20 off your vet fee, valid until end of October. Call the clinic now to book this in now

Its time to Metricheck!

Studies show 17% of NZ Dairy cows have endometritis (are 'Dirty'). These cows take longer to cycle, conceive & are more likely to be empty.
Ideally check your herd in batches starting 3 weeks after calving, or do a single herd check at least 4 weeks before mating.

Contact the clinic now to book in a training session or to book in your herd.

Calf scour outbreaks are very common at the moment. Testing calves to find out the cause is very important so treatments/prevention strategies can be targeted to the specific cause.

General strategies for all sick scouring calves are:
🟢Improve Hygiene. Increase the depth of bedding and top up more often. Spray pens with Vetsan at least twice weekly.
🟢 No teaching pen. Put new calves straight into the pen in which they will reared.
🟢 Colostrum Management. Ensure new calves get "Gold" colostrum (1st milking after calving) for their 1st two feed (15-20% bodyweight in 1st 12-24hours of life)
🟢 Provide hay and meal from Day 1 to speed up rumen development
🟢 Clean water available to all calves at all times. For mobs of sick calves make up electrolytes & have available in pens

Rotavirus is the most common cause of scours in calves - specific treatments & preventors include Rotogen powder & Rotovirus vaccination for your herd.

Cryptosporidium is is the next most common cause of scours in calves - there are products (halocur) for treatment and to help prevent infection in calves.

Less common causes are Samonella & E-Coli with both of these causing scour & sudden death in young calves. Vaccinations are available to help prevent these.

Sick calves that are not drinking should receive fluids 4-5 times daily. Alternate between gold colostrum & good quality electrolytes.

Please call us for further advice

We’ve been made aware of a scam targeting pet owners via email, falsely claiming that their pet’s microchip registration has expired. These emails appear to come from Petchip and may include the pet’s name, microchip number, and other personal details to make them look legitimate.

The Dog and Cat Management Board has confirmed there has been no data breach of the official Dogs and Cats Online database. Genuine emails from them will never include that level of personal information.

DO NOT click on any links or provide personal details in these emails.
DO contact your local council or the Dog and Cat Management Board directly if they are unsure about any communications they receive.
