ALTHOUGH the tremendous soaking that the Bega Valley has had recently has been good, it doesn’t come without introducing the potential for some adverse animal health impacts, Ian Lugton from the South East Livestock Health and Pest Authority has warned.
PARVOVIRUS is sweeping across NSW but the disease hasn’t been too prominent in the Bega Valley, according to Bega and Cobargo Veterinary Hospitals owner Dr Jane Woolacott.
The virus is particularly dangerous to young unvaccinated puppies and causes vomiting and profuse diarrhoea, leading to dehydration.
AS THEY said when Gough Whitlam was elected: “it’s time”.
You hear about it and read about it again and again at every meeting or discussion on the local obstetric issue.
Now, at the risk of alienating a considerable number of people, it’s time to say something.
