For those that didn't see our post yesterday, we are moving over to a new page. Please head over to Neighbourhood Vet Gosport to keep up to date with us.
This page will be closed by the end of next week.
Many thanks, the Neighbourhood Vet team 😀

Hello and welcome to Neighbourhood Vet.
We are a small animal veterinary team currently made up of one vet, three nurses and a receptionist.
We are based inside Jollyes at Brockhurst Gate, Gosport and are currently open Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
Whilst we are happy to receive general enquires through messenger, this will not be monitored everyday and therefore we ask if you have an urgent enquiry or an emergency then you call the practice directly on 02394 214 800.

Many thanks.

The weather forecast for Gosport in Monday is predicting temperatures to reach 31oC (Feels like 33oC). With this in mind, we will be contacting any client with a routine appointment, such as vaccinations, microchips and appointments for parasite control to recommend they reschedule.

We appreciate it is difficult to book these routine appointments currently due to the unprecedented shortage of qualified Veterinary staff in the UK, so we will be running vaccination clinics in the coming weeks to counteract this backlog.

You can see on the table below (courtesy of Petplan) that there is a potential risk to life with the temperatures forecast.

We appreciate your understanding, and hope you and your pets have a wonderful (and safe) summer! 🐶🐱☀️

🌾Don’t forget the hay🌾
🐰An essential aspect of your rabbit's environment is having constant access to good quality feeding hay or grass at all times
🐰This needs to be separate from their sleeping and toilet area
🐰As you know good quality feeding hay or grass should make up 85-90% of your rabbit’s diet, this should always be available to them
✨Top Tip: To encourage your rabbits to eat more hay try putting the hay in toys such as willow balls or even cardboard tubes✨

With more hot weather incomming, below is a great guide in how to help our bunnies keep cool in the heat!

Let’s keep our rabbits cool this summer😰

🐰In the wild, rabbits’ burrows stay at a fairly constant temperature

🐰This means rabbits can really struggle when the weather gets too hot or too cold!

🐰 As the days and nights get warmer it is even more important we keep our buns cool

❄️Check out this handy guide with tips on how to help your rabbits stay cool this summer❄️

It's rabbit awareness week! 🐰
Let’s talk environment essentials!📝
🌟𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄🌟
The recommendation for two average-sized rabbits is at least 𝟑𝐦 𝐱 𝟐𝐦 𝐛𝐲 𝟏𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡, remember this is the 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐔𝐌 space recommendation and more space is ALWAYS BETTER🐰🐰
📌Their housing should be permanently attached to a larger space so they can exercise freely.
📌Remember, rabbits must be able to stand up on their back legs without their ears touching the top so the hutch.
❗️Share this post to raise awareness for the minimum space recommendation❗️

Is your pet due for their Annual Health Check and Booster Vaccination in the next month or so? Having a new puppy, kitten or rabbit join the family who will need to start or complete a vaccination course? If so, please book your appointments well in advance (ideally 4 weeks in advance please)😽😽

10/06/2022

Wanting to take your dog abroad this summer? It takes around 2 hours in total for our vet to carry out a Health Examination and prepare the necessary documents for each pet travelling. Appointments are therefore limited as we have to plan time for our sick patients.
Appointments for Animal Health Certificates (which need to be issued up to 10 days prior to departure) need to be arranged at least 2 months in advance please to avoid disappointment.

Just a friendly reminder that we are shut Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd June to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. We will be back open on Monday 6th June. If you need to seek veterinary advice over this 4 day period, please contact Animed Shedfield on 01329 833112.

As Valentine’s Day approaches we’re asking people to think twice when buying flowers to ensure lilies don't come into contact with cats.

Lilies are extremely toxic to cats and eating any part of the lily – flowers, leaves, stem or pollen – is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and can cause kidney damage and even death.

You can help spread awareness with our free poster, available here: https://icatcare.org/advice/lethal-lilies/
