JOB POSITION: Production Animal Veterinarian - Reporoa

An opportunity has arisen for a veterinarian to join our team in our BESTPractice accredited clinic in Reporoa. Base yourself in either Taupo or Rotorua (an easy 30 minute commute) or live locally and become a part of Reporoa’s friendly farming community.

At the heart of VetPlus is a set of long-held core values; Care, Excellence, Loyalty, Integrity, Leadership and Enjoyment. These values positively influence everything we do every day, from how we behave to how we make decisions.

The primary focus for this position is providing preventative and productivity-based solutions to our proactive dairy farming clients. We encourage involvement in our clients’ businesses, as well as providing emergency services, so an interest in whole herd health is essential. We believe in tackling any big jobs as a team, therefore it will also involve working throughout our entire practice area with the PA Vet and Technician teams.

We’re looking for a vet with some experience and can be flexible with days of work for the right candidate. After-hours is exclusively Production Animal within a roster of not more than 1 in 5 weekends, handsomely remunerated.

Our team are more than workmates; a ‘family’ of funny, kind, caring, smart professionals who genuinely enjoy spending their working days together making differences that matter to our clients and their animals.

We’ve captured the essence of our vibe on our website www.vetplus.co.nz/careers/ . If you think you’d enjoy working as part of a great team in a beautiful part of our country, we’d like to hear from you.

We are seeing a lot of grass seed issues at the moment, so here are a few things to look out for!

Grass seeds are sharply pointed at the end and can easily work their way through your pet’s skin to cause problems. The most common places we see them are in between the toes and in the ears but they can work their way in anywhere, such as the armpits and eyes. Dogs that have hairy or fluffy feet are more likely to get the grass seeds stuck in the fur in their feet and then they can easily migrate under the skin. The things to look out for are sudden onset lameness and/or licking in the affected area. You will often see a small red swelling and sometimes a discharge as well. If they get stuck in the ears then you will see sudden pain associated with the ears and you often won’t see any discharge, like you can get with an ear infection.

Here are some pictures of a few different grass seeds that we have pulled out from dogs feet, ears and eyes in the last month. The seeds can range in size from very small to extra large barley grass! Louie had over 100 small seeds pulled out from under the skin between his toes – we even found 10 seeds in one pocket!! We had 3 of our team working on Louie’s feet and our lovely vet student helping so that Louie wasn’t under anaesthetic for too long. These seeds were super tiny and extra hard to see under his thick fur.

If you are concerned that your pet has a grass seed somewhere then please call us to make an appointment for your pet to be checked by our veterinary team. To help prevent grass seed issues you can make sure that feet are groomed short and to check in their ears, between the toes and around the pads after going for walks in the long grass.
