It's day 2 of Rabbit Awareness Week, and today we are covering the important of fibre in your bunny's diet 🌱🐰
Feeding hay and fresh grass are sources of fibre which are essential for rabbits’ health and welfare:
• Dental health - fibre wears down teeth reducing the risk of dental problems.
• Digestive health - fibre ensures that a rabbit’s gut keeps moving reducing the risk of gut stasis and bloat.
• Behavioural health - in the wild rabbits spend 70% of their time foraging.
• A constant supply of feeding hay and fresh grass is essential to allow them to express this normal behaviour and help prevent behavioural problems.

🚨 Emergency Surgery Alert! 🚨 Meet Cartier, the lovely English Bulldog who has a knack for eating things he shouldn't. Last weekend, his owner noticed he was trying to vomit and wasn't his usual self. Acting quickly, they brought Cartier to us for a check-up.

Our vet, Michael, conducted an ultrasound and X-rays, revealing a donut-shaped foreign object in Cartier's gut! 😱 Surgery was the best option, and during the operation, Michael and the team found the end of a large Kong toy lodged in his intestine.

Thanks to Michael's careful removal and lots of TLC, Cartier is now on the road to recovery. 💕 Remember, even the toughest toys can be damaged and swallowed. Always supervise your dog during playtime!

Get to know our Veterinary Nurse, Rudo! 💞😸

"Even as a small child I dreamed of a career working with animals. That dream become a reality in 2004 when I secured training at SPCA Harare as a basic dog handler.

Fresh faced and eager to learn, I was thrown headfirst into the life of a busy mixed animal practice. I then enrolled with the University of Zimbabwe to do a veterinary nursing diploma, which I graduated from in 2012.

I am currently enjoying the change of working in a practice here in the UK, and I am learning new things every day here at Vets4Pets Brislington!"

08/05/2024

🌿🐾 Whilst it's lovely to be able to enjoy a spring time stroll with your dog, it's important to stay vigilant to dangers, including adders! 🐍 Found in grassy areas, woodlands, and heathlands, adders play an essential role in our ecosystems. When walking your dog in these habitats, keep them close and stick to clear paths to minimise encounters.

🚨 However, accidents can happen! If your dog is bitten by an adder:

1️⃣ Stay calm and carry your dog calmly to prevent the venom from spreading faster.
2️⃣ Remove any collars or constrictive items to prevent swelling.
3️⃣ Seek veterinary assistance immediately, even if the bite seems minor.
4️⃣ Avoid trying to suck out the venom or applying tourniquets, as these methods can do more harm than good.

Preparedness is key! Keep your walks safe and enjoyable for both you and your dog. 🌳

Say hi to Monty the Shetland Sheepdog! Monty visited us today for his monthly dose of immunotherapy. 💉🩵

Discovering what triggers your pet's allergies is crucial for their relief, and that’s where immunotherapy steps in! 🌟

The treating vet will pinpoint allergens through blood tests, then tailor a personalised treatment plan for your pet. Administering allergens via injections over time gradually desensitises your dog or cat's immune system to allergens like pollen or dust mites. 🌿

With time, allergic reactions can lessen or even disappear! Regular maintenance doses ensure your pet's immune system stays balanced.

If you are thinking of looking into immunotherapy for your pet, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Meet Bonnie, the loveable German Pointer cross! 🐾 Recently, Bonnie had sneakily ingested something that ended up causing trouble in her intestine. Can you guess what it might be from the photos? ⬇️

Owner Emma was concerned about Bonnie after she was found retching and vomiting over the weekend, and with her track record of being a scavenger, she did not waste time bringing Bonnie to us for further investigation.

Our vet Nisha detected levels of inflammation in Bonnie's blood and without any further improvement overnight, she decided it would be best to X-Ray Bonnie to see if anything could be found. Nothing showed up on X-Rays, however a shadowy mass was detected via ultrasound, so Nisha decided to go ahead and open up the belly.

On careful examination, Nisha found what she was looking for – a corn on the cob lodged in Bonnie’s intestine! 😱 🌽 She carefully removed it and repaired any damage to the surrounding tissue.

Thanks to Nisha’s expertise, Bonnie has made a quick recovery, and is back to her usual cheeky self, asking for treats and enjoying lots of TLC from her family. ❤

🐹🎉 Happy National Hamster Day! 🎉🐹

🌟 Did you know that hamsters are excellent climbers and can run up to 8 miles a night on their exercise wheels? That's some serious cardio goals! 🏃‍♂️💨

🌟 Hamsters have an incredible sense of smell, which helps them locate food and recognize their human friends! 🥜👃

🌟 Did you know that hamsters are crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk? This natural behavior stems from their origins in the wild, where they would forage for food during the cooler, low-light hours to avoid predators. So if you catch your hamster bustling about in the early morning or late evening, they're just following their instinctual rhythm!

Join us in celebrating these adorable little critters today! If you have any health questions about your hamster, don't hesitate to get in touch.

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

26/01/2024

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

19/01/2024

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

18/01/2024

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."

Four-year-old Sebastian the Jack Russell is back to his usual boisterous self after being treated at Vets4Pets Abingdon for a condition that was causing the knee caps on his back legs to dislocate when he walked.

The condition, known as medial patellar luxation, would cause him to hop or skip when exercising. It's quite common in terriers and small dog breeds, but Sebastian's case was quite severe and he was given surgery by orthopaedic surgeon Joe to deepen the groove his patella runs in on his right hind leg, and also to move and reattach his patellar tendon.

Sebastian is owned by practice vet Hannah who said: "After the operation he just wanted to get back to normal straight away but he couldn't ... and that's where we struggled. He wanted to be out and about, charging around and playing with his toys but he needed to rest." Hannah had to give him medication for six weeks to give his knees time to heal. She said: "He's absolutely fine now – he's fully recovered and running around like a lunatic again!"

05/01/2024

When 11-year-old lurcher Jess was brought into Vets for Pets Leeds Birstall 24/7 Small Animal Hospital on Christmas Eve feeling very poorly with pyometra – a life-threatening uterus infection – the team knew they had to act fast; so vet Emily and nurses JD and Hannah headed straight in to perform emergency surgery on her in the early hours of Christmas morning.

The operation went so well that by lunchtime nurse Krishna was able to call her owner Beth to say she was well enough to come home to recuperate – and Beth made the hour-long drive from her home in Keighley so she could bring Jess home before the family sat down for their Christmas dinner. Beth said: "It was a stressful start to Christmas, as we were worried about Jess because of her age and because she's never had anything wrong with her before. We're so grateful for everything – it was so nice of them to come in on Christmas Day to operate on her, to look after her so well and to get her home on top form. The vets were fantastic from start to finish. Jess is recovering nicely – you can see the happiness is back in her!"

Krishna said: "Our night team always do an amazing job, and performing serious surgery like that at that time of night and on Christmas Day of all days is just brilliant. Jess did amazingly well to bounce back so quickly, and it was amazing being able to call her owners to say that she could come home to spend Christmas with them. It's the sort of call we all love to make, but doing it on Christmas Day was extra nice."

Those floppy spaniel ears 🥰 Little Peter visited us for his 2nd vaccination today. #Vets4PetsBrislington

How many nurses does it take to perform a sedated groom? 😀 Buddy the Shih Tzu was feeling uncomfortable and was in need of some grooming TLC ✂️, however he finds the grooming process very stressful. A sedated groom allowed our team to groom Buddy with minimum stress, remove any matts and trim his face safely. Buddy is so much more comfortable now, doesn't he look lovely? 💗 #VeterinaryNurseAwarenessMonth #vets4petsbrislington

Health conditions that affect guinea pigs' and how you can spot them... Ringworm: 🚫 This fungal infection can cause hair loss and itchy, scaly skin patches. Keep an eye out for any suspicious spots on their fur. Flystrike: 😱🦟 Flies lay eggs on your piggy's bottom, leading to serious infections. Regularly check their bottoms for any signs of fly eggs or maggots. Prevention is key! Flies and Mites: 😓 these pesky critters can cause itchiness, hair loss, and skin irritations. Look out for excessive scratching or red, flaky skin. Vitamin C Deficiency: 😢 Just like humans, guinea pigs need their daily dose of vitamin C! Lack of this essential nutrient can lead to scurvy, causing weakened gums and joint pain. Make sure they have a balanced diet and plenty of fresh veggies! 🥦 💪 Pododermatitis: 🚶‍♂️👣 Also known as bumblefoot, this condition affects their precious paws. Watch out for swelling, redness, or sores on the bottom of their feet. Provide soft bedding and a clean environment to prevent discomfort. 💤 Dental Disease: 😬🦷 Overgrown teeth can be a gnawing issue for guinea pigs. Check for difficulty eating, drooling, or weight loss. Regular vet check-ups and a diet rich in hay helps to keep their chompers in tip-top shape! 😀 Stay vigilant, seek veterinary advice if needed, and give them all the love and care they deserve. ❤️ #GPAW2023
