VETS WARNING

Veterinary Specialist Group's Dr Mark Robson said the clinic was seeing far more animals being affected by rat poison this year.

At least one animal was coming in every week with signs of toxicity, he said.

Robson said the increase in rats was a problem because more people were putting out rat baits and animals were ingesting it - sometimes secondarily, if animals eat rats.

There were two types of rat bait which have differing effects, he said.

The first type (anticoagulants) interferes with normal blood clotting and symptoms include anything to do with bleeding.

The second affects the animal's calcium balance and causes kidney failure. Symptoms include drinking and urinating more often than normal.

For all pet owners, Robson said it was important that they act fast and take their animal to a vet if they notice they are unwell.

The name has been gifted to the UCSA by mana whenua, Ngāi Tūāhuriri and is linked to the Ōtākaro Avon River, which flows past the UCSA site.
The new building includes student welfare and advocacy spaces, an outdoor amphitheatre overlooking the Ōtakaro Avon River, as well as club, meeting, hospitality, office and event spaces.
A key feature is the new Ngaio Marsh Theatre and Performance Centre, a flexible space capable of hosting 300 people seated or 1,000 people standing. As well as being used for student performances and concerts, it will provide a central space that the UCSA’s 130 affiliated clubs and societies can use for meetings and events. The local community will also be able to enjoy the new Ngaio Marsh Theatre, whether it’s watching a show, attending a concert or using the space for a community event when students are not on campus.
