There is a new variant of the Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD) called the Highly Virulent Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease emerging across Europe and reports indicate that it could be present in the UK. The updated recommendation is to vaccinate against this new strain with an additional vaccination called Yurvac. We now have this in stock in the practice.

We recommend all rabbits are vaccinated with Yurvac, as well as the Nobivac Myxo-RHD Plus vaccine. Vaccines need to be given annually, at least two weeks apart.

For more information on the new vaccine, please visit https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/rvhd2-hv-faq-april-2025/ or give us a call to book your rabbit in.

🔥 | Remember Remember…

Check bonfires before lighting them in case wildlife such as hedgehogs have taken shelter amongst the wood.

If you have one in your garden, PLEASE make sure it is completely out, especially before letting pets anywhere near the area.

Unsuspecting animals (wild or pet) can run over any embers, which may still be hot, and get burnt feet!

Let's ease dog firework anxiety with these five top tips 👇
🚻 Toilet Time: Try to get your dog to go to the toilet before the fireworks start and keep them indoors during the displays🍽️💧 Food & Water Access: For dogs that struggle to eat when stressed, ensure they have access to food and water all night. If you know when the worst nights for fireworks will be, feed your dog late afternoon or early evening before the noise begins
🔒 Secure Your Home: Make sure your home is secure by closing all doors and windows, as scared pets can sometimes bolt. Close curtains and blinds to minimise flashes
🎶 Create Background Noise: Play moderately loud rhythmic music with a good beat to help mask the sound of fireworks. Alternatively, familiar sounds like the TV may also comfort your dog
🐕‍🦺 Prevent Trapping: Ensure your dog cannot get trapped, as this may worsen their phobias. Avoid shutting them in tight spaces.

Fireworks can be stressful for pets, and it’s important to know the signs that your furry friend is scared. Trembling, hiding, trying to escape, excessive vocalisation, panting, or drooling are all common indicators of anxiety.

Here are some top tips to help keep your pets calm and safe during the fireworks:

🐾Create a Safe Space: Set up a cosy, quiet room with their favourite toys and blankets.
🎶 Noise Distraction: Play calming music or turn on the TV to help drown out the loud bangs outside.
🐕 Walk Earlier: Take your dog for a walk before dark, before the fireworks start.
🏠 Keep Them Indoors: Make sure windows, doors, and pet flaps are closed so your pet can't escape if they get spooked.
🐰 Don’t Forget the Small Pets: Move rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small pets indoors or cover their enclosures to muffle the noise.

If your pet gets distressed, speak to us about how we can help. You can call us on 01249653181.

Let's make sure our pets enjoy a peaceful, stress-free night!
