Tell us about a local business that makes your day?

Prospa

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive.

And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’. Well, it’s payback time!

Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

💕🐇Rabbit Vaccinations🐇💕

Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre

Did your family get a baby bunny for Christmas or is your adult rabbit due for their annual vaccination?

Did your family get a baby bunny for Christmas or is your adult rabbit due for their annual vaccination?

In New Zealand we have a highly contagious disease known as Rabbit Calicivirus Disease (RCD), also known as Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (HVD). This is invariably lethal in all rabbits.

It is easily spread and infected rabbits can spread it through faeces, urine, saliva, nasal discharge and blood. The main vector for transmission of the disease are flies.

Most rabbits die very quickly within a few days and often without showing any obvious clinical signs before they die.

There are 3 strains of the virus in New Zealand and we have available a vaccine that will offer good immunity against 2 of the strains, sadly no vaccine is 100% effective.

Vaccination can be started at 10-12wks of age with just 1 vaccine required yearly. If starting vaccines before 10-12wks of age, then they will need a booster every 3wks until they reach 12wks of age.
