🌈Today is Rainbow Bridge remembrance day. Whilst those pets we lose never get forgotten, maybe today take an extra moment to remember them. Look through some old photos and smile.

If you would like to share a picture in the comments of a loved one thats waiting for you over the other side of rainbow bridge, share a memory.🌈

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to accept wildlife as inpatients.

We are able to provide emergency first aid and euthanisa if required, but we currently cannot house wildlife due to our isolation being out of use.

🚨 **Ant Season Warning: Look Out for Staggering Seagulls!** 🚨

The young ants have started hatching across Sussex —and while that’s part of nature’s rhythm, it’s bringing unexpected trouble for our local seagulls. These ants release formic acid as a natural defense. In small amounts, it’s harmless, but when gulls gobble down a feast of ants, it can cause them to appear **disoriented or ‘drunk, stumbling around and struggling to fly properly.

This sadly makes them much more vulnerable near roads, as they may not move quickly enough to avoid traffic. If you see a gull behaving strangely by the roadside, **please slow down** and give them space—they might just need a little time to recover.

⚠️ Important: These gulls can show symptoms that look like bird flu, which raises concerns. But in many cases, they’re not sick at all. Let’s avoid unnecessary action like euthanasia—a bit of fresh water and rest is often enough to get them back on their feet (or wings!).

Let’s help our feathered friends through this odd patch of nature. 🐜🕊️💚

🐰 Myxomatosis is a widespread, life-threatening virus ⚠️

Cases are seen frequently in unvaccinated rabbits, causing tumour like swellings and decreases the rabbit’s ability to fight infection, so they tend to catch additional bacterial infections that cause severe respiratory disease.

The best way to protect your rabbit is with regular vaccinations throughout their life. This not only protects them, but also decreases the spread of disease. Check with your vet today if your rabbit’s vaccinations are up to date.

We have had a black/brown and white chihuahua/jack Russel type dog. Entire. Very friendly, not microchipped but was wearing a red collar. Found near postcode BN1 8ZB. If your dog is missing than please give our Brighton Branch a call 😊🐕📞

We had a stray cat brought into our Peacehaven branch on Tuesday. The cat was checked by our Vet and there was no clinical reason to keep her in our hospital, the cat was not microchipped so following guidelines the cat was released back to Collingwood Close in Peacehaven that day.

🦊We had a very poorly fox cub brought in to our Brighton branch today. He clearly had been through the wars with multiple wounds and lame on one of his hind limbs. After an assessment by our veterinary team, he was certianly fiesty enough for a second chance.

Not having the facilities for fox cubs we needed to get him to a wildlife hospital as soon as possible.

🥰 Luckily the wonderful Brighton and Hove Wildlife Rescue group had a volunteer who kindly agreed to transfer to Wildlife Aid in Surrey for further veterinary assessment and care.

Fingers crossed they can get him fixed and home!🤞
