✅ Neutering

Neutering is strongly recommended for both male and female rabbits (castrating in males and spaying in females). There are lots of benefits to neutering such as allowing rabbits to be kept in pairs or groups, avoiding unwanted pregnancies and helping to reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. For more information on neutering and pre and post-operative care speak to your vet.🐇

Thinking of neutering your pet? 🤔

Just give our reception team a call on 0208 655 0235 ☎️ and they can discuss our availability with you!

Meet the Beautiful Bonnie 🩷

Bonnie came in to be spayed today and we just had to share her with you all! Just look at that face 🥺. She was the sweetest girl all day and we made sure she got a lots of love and cuddles before she went home! ☺️

Unsure whether to spay or castrate?
Look no further and continue reading to read more about it!

The term neuter is an umbrella term for spaying or castrating. Spaying is removing the female reproductive organs and castrating is removing the male reproductive organs.

Neutering is generally done under general anaesthetic, it is a routine procedure and your pet should recover quickly from it and will be able to come home a few hours after waking up from the anaesthetic.

Apart from the obvious that neutering prevents unwanted pregnancies, it also helps with preventing the risk of testicular cancer in males and uterine infections and cancers in females, in some animals such as male ferrets it can help reduce aggression and can also prevent birth defects - this is due to animals not knowing what family members mean, meaning if you have a female cat who had a male cat they can breed if not neutered and this can cause birth defects.

If you would like to book your pet in to be neutered please give our reception team a call on ☎️ 0208 655 0235 ☎️ and they can discuss our availability with you!

Truffle 🩷

This sweet girl came in for an ACTH stimulation test she was such a good girl as always🥰

The ACTH stimulation test is a diagnostic procedure used in dogs to evaluate adrenal gland function, particularly to assess for conditions like Cushing's disease (hyperadrenocorticism) or Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism).

Purpose of the ACTH Stimulation Test:
1. Cushing's Disease: This condition is characterized by excessive cortisol production. The ACTH stimulation test helps determine if the adrenal glands are overactive.
2. Addison's Disease: In this condition, the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. The test can help confirm this diagnosis by assessing the adrenal response to ACTH.

How the Test Works:
1. Preparation: Before the test, the dog may need to fast for a few hours. It's important to follow your veterinarian's instructions regarding food and water.
2. Baseline Blood Sample: A blood sample is taken to measure the baseline cortisol levels before administering ACTH.
3. Administration of ACTH: A synthetic form of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is injected into the dog, typically via an intramuscular or intravenous route.
4. Post-ACTH Blood Sample: After a specified period (usually around 1 hour), another blood sample is taken to measure the cortisol levels again.
