Parvovirus vaccination campaign launched for Khayelitsha dogs
We were also joined by Christina Pretorius – From the International Fund for Animal Welfare. We were talking about the Parvovirus vaccination campaign. The emergency vaccination drive has been launched to save Khayelitsha dogs after a severe outbreak of canine parvovirus in the Somerset West, Gordon's Bay and Strand area. According to media reports, a vet from the Tygerberg Animal Hospital warned that the contagious virus could spread to dogs elsewhere in the city. The disease is highly infectious and is spread from dog to dog by direct or indirect contact with their feces. Christina explained more about the vaccination campaign. Tomorrow they will be at the library in Site C and Mzizi Hall. If members of the public would like to donate to this urgent Parvovirus vaccination campaign you can make a deposit to the Mdzananda Animal Clinic. For more information you can contact them on (021) 367 2302.
