Rabbit Vaccination
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.

-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
