Mt Cook became the coldest place in the country as a mass of air from Antarctica swept up the country, bringing snow north.

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.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
