Neutering means removing the reproductive organs; this is either the ovaries in females (known as spaying) or the testicles in males (known as castration). Neutering is a routine procedure that does not require overnight hospitalisation, with an average recovery time of 5-10 days.

Microchipping rabbits is not a legal requirement but is strongly recommended.
Rabbits are excellent escape artists and, if they manage to escape the garden, it can be difficult to identify where they have come from.

Flystrike happens more often in warm weather, and in rabbits who have soiled fur (often due to poor diet, obesity or arthritis).
Throughout the spring and summer rabbits must be checked twice daily and any soiled fur cleaned. If you find any sign of fly eggs or maggots you must arrange for your rabbit to see a vet as soon as possible.

Both indoor and outdoor rabbits require vaccinations to keep them safe from infectious disease. 🦠 Young rabbits are particularly vulnerable to serious illnesses, so it’s important to get them vaccinated early.
Rabbits can be vaccinated from five weeks old and will need yearly booster vaccinations throughout their life to maintain immunity. 🐇

Last Friday we had the pleasure of spending the day with the gorgeous Jamie, when she was in to be spayed.
Here she is modelling one of our cat hides that are provided for all our feline patients that are staying with us during the day. These provide a space for cats to feel safe and secure while they are with us, or in Jamie's case they provide a great vantage point to watch the comings and goings from the cat ward. 🥰
