Pet Rabbits and Calicivirus🐰🐰🐰

🐰There are several strains of rabbit calicivirus (also known as Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV)) in New Zealand. This virus causes severe hepatitis leading to liver failure and sudden death in most cases. There is no specific treatment for this infection.
🐰Vaccination is the best way to protect your pet rabbits. New Zealand Veterinary Association recommends Filovac vaccination to protect against all the strains of this virus.

To minimise the risk to your rabbits:
> Keep them separate from wild rabbits
>Wash your hands between handling rabbits
>Control insects around pet rabbits as they can spread the virus between them
>Avoid cutting grass and feeding it to pet rabbits
>Thoroughly clean and disinfect cages and equipment
Please book your pet rabbit today at Pet Vets Papatoetoe for a health check and vaccination.

Always wanted to try and bake your own bread?
Sourdough is a bread raised by aerobic yeast (yeasts in the atmosphere) that are captured in a mixture of flour and water and fed regularly to keep them alive. There are many different ways to make a sourdough starter — some people insist on using mineral water to feed the starter, others use water from boiled potatoes to get the starter going. It’s very effective to get a cup of someone else’s starter that you can then feed and grow yourself. Other people have sourdough starters that have been handed down through generations, but there’s no need for all that fuss: it’s incredibly easy to make your own.
