This week is Rabbit Awareness Week!

BVNA were asked to consult on this new Code of Practice for rabbits and are delighted to support its role out. Senior Vice President Jo Hinde said "Rabbits are the 3rd most popular pet in the UK yet they are one of the most neglected. This CoP covers the main points that need to be considered when thinking of bringing rabbits into your family. The view that they are easy, cheap pets for kids is wildly inaccurate and the BVNA agrees that this stereotype needs changing asap to improve rabbit welfare".

Do you own a cat? Then we are reminding you to check if your cat food is affected by a recent product recall.

This is due to a potential link to feline pancytopenia, a serious illness in cats.

The affected cat food products are listed here: www.food.gov.uk/CatFoodRecall

If your cat has eaten one of the recalled products and is showing any unusual behaviour or signs of being unwell, this could include any of the following acute symptoms:

🔴 lethargy

🔴 weakness

🔴 decreased appetite

🔴 pale gums

🔴 rapid breathing

🔴 bleeding from nose

🔴 bleeding into mouth

Then contact a vet immediately to book an examination.

If your cat has eaten one of the recalled products but is not showing signs of illness, you should still contact a vet for advice and possible testing. Also, continue to monitor your cat's behaviour for signs of illness or acute symptoms and book an examination immediately if these arise.

You should also immediately switch to a suitable alternative. A vet will be able to advise on this.

Finally, return the product to the store for safe disposal.
