Myxomatosis is a deadly rabbit viral disease that can affect all bunnies, even those who only live indoors! 🐇 Is your pet protected?
This virus can find itself in your home through any parasite that consumes blood, with fleas and mosquitos being the main culprits in spreading it. It starts by attacking the eyelids and the mouth, and you might see:
👉 Swelling of the eyes, nose and genital area
👉 Low appetite and energy
👉 Runny nose
Fortunately, we have extremely safe and efficient vaccines that can protect your furry friends from myxomatosis, so don’t hesitate to call us to schedule your appointment today!
🌟Congratulations to our October Puppy Pre-School Graduates! 🌟
If you're interested in joining our Puppy Pre-School, please contact the reception team at Delaware Castle Cary on 01963 350307.
Happy Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Day! 🥳
There are a number of diseases that have a genetic component, meaning that these can be transmitted from pet parents to their offspring. Some of these are associated with certain breeds, such as:
🐕 Brachycephalic obstructive airway disease in the French Bulldog and other brachycephalic breeds
🐕 Hip and elbow dysplasia in the German Shepherd
🐕 Mitral valve disease and dry eye in the Cavalier King Charles
🐈 Polycystic kidney disease in Persian cats
This is why screening pet parents is so important, which is something that you need to be mindful of if you’re considering buying from a breeder.
DNA testing is one of the tools used to screen potential pet parents, alongside with other tests, such as X-rays, ultrasound, orthopaedic and several organ-specific tests.
If you have any questions, we’re here for you!
Have you adopted a puppy recently? 🐶 If so, we are thrilled for you. Few experiences can be as rewarding as adding a furry friend to your family. 🥰
But raising a puppy can also be challenging and requires a lot of patience (and some tasty treats!). If you need any advice on caring for your new puppy, we are happy to help!

When you see your dog having a seizure, this is understandably very distressing! 🐕🐾 In a second, they are ok, and the next, they seem to have lost control of their body.
This is most often caused by idiopathic canine epilepsy, which means we don't what's causing the seizures. However, prompt treatment should be sought, as repetitive seizure activity might become an emergency. Please call us as soon as you suspect or see that your pet has had a seizure!
