Happy World Rabbit Day! 🐰❤️
Whether domestic or wild, rabbits are fascinating creatures that deserve our attention and compassion. World Rabbit Day aims to educate the public about properly caring for domestic rabbits. This day helps to highlight rabbits’ welfare needs, including their diet, housing, and healthcare requirements.

This little hamster didn’t mind his medicine at all ❤️

Nebulization is used in avian medicine to deliver certain medications, usually antibiotics or antifungals, directly to the respiratory tract. Nebulization can provide hydration to the mucous membranes as well as provide an expectorant effect to help clear debris from the respiratory tract.

These goldeneye ducklings were brought in to the clinic for staff to triage. After they were assessed and stabilized, they were transferred to a local wildlife rehabilitation centre for further care. Good luck, little ones! ❤️

“Lettuce “ take a moment to admire this beautiful tortoise ❤️

No better way to start the week than with a bearded dragon smile 😊

Looks like someone knows about second breakfast 😆

Great advice from our friends at Lafeber! ❤️🎄🦜 Holiday Hazards The companion parrot is part of the family! When including our feathered friends in the holiday season we must keep them safe. • Christmas trees - electric wires represent an enticing danger for pet birds, and ornaments may be made from cheap materials containing heavy metals. Many trees are also sprayed with chemicals. • Many holiday plants are also potentially toxic including: Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) Holly (Ilex spp.) English Ivy (Hedera helix) Mistletoe (Viscum album) Yew (Cephalotaxus sp.) Chrysanthemum • Of course, the holidays are also associated with lots of cooking. Confine your pet bird to its cage to prevent accidents with pots of boiling water and pans of frying food. Also, remember the danger of cooking fumes, particularly from overheated nonstick pots and pans. The release of polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) fumes is well known to be toxic, potentially cause bleeding and fluid in the lungs, and possible death. • Cleaning agents may also release powerful fumes. Use of items like carpet cleaners and bleach have also been associated with death and illness. • Never offer sweet treats like chocolate and sugary treats to pet birds. Chocolate contains theophylline, which is toxic to birds and animals. Sweets frequently irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Items containing caffeine, avocado, salty snacks, alcohol, and rhubarb should also not be offered. • The highly efficient respiratory tract of the bird means that strong fumes or strong smells may be particularly irritatingóand potentially dangerous. Do not expose your companion parrot to scented candles, potpourri, or room fresheners. Also protect your bird from second-hand smokers. • Holiday stress is not just a problem for humans. Take your bird’s personality into account when making them part of your holiday. Some individuals enjoy the noise and excitement of holiday festivities, while other bi

Did you know that some birds have such thin skin that medications can be applied to the skin for systemic absorption? This can be a less stressful way to gave certain medications.
