Aren't you all sick of not having the local vet on call after hours? I live in Hutt Valley and had to go to after hours emergency clinic when I had pups and mother had probs. 5 years ago I paid $855 for emergency c-section, told them she needed to be done straight away, they waited nearly 2 hours, lost one pup, another drowned in fluid they were so slow, got one pup only left. It wouldn't be so bad if we could get to know the emergency vets so we could share our specialised knowledge of our breeds (vets know dogs, they don't always know the special needs of the different breeds and this can make the difference between live and dead pups and dogs)I used to go into the "OR" of the local vet, and clean up the pups as they were passed over. She was marvellous, even giving one mum a light anaesthetic and just massaging a (genetic mutant = giant)puppy that was so big it got stuck, waking mum up and then she had the rest of the pups. I was so impressed. Now I'm just 'depressed'. Maybe I should just give up, or move to a rural place (if I had the money eh?) Do any of you know the vets at Ngauranga Emergency Vet Clinic in Wgtn?
about 9 months ago i bought a staffy pup for $250 the girl said she might not be able to have beef as the mother cant. i feed her everything but beef she started looseing her fur all over her body and coming up in scabs and bleeding. i took her to vet and had to get my loved baby girl put down because i found out the girl breed a sick dog.
Please shut those gates for the loved wow wows bring them inside in the warmth. I seen it all tonight a black lab had been run over outside a familys home on a very busy road they don't shut there gates as they said the dogs never go past the gate to late now / ( it was much of a mess ) very disturbing to myself to have to help lift a injured dog to the side. I just cant understand if you own a dog to let it at risk. I assure you my jack russells are behind a bullet proof gate and come inside next to a warm fire. Please take care of all those gorgeous wow wows !!!! SHUT THOSE GATES !!!!
