To close Rabbit Awareness Week, we wanted to highlight some Summer tips and tricks to keep your rabbits safe and comfortable this summer.

1) Keep them hydrated - Providing lots of fresh, clean water is essential. Giving them a few fresh vegetables is also a great way to get more hydration into their diet.

2) Provide shady spots - Whether you have an outdoor or indoor rabbit, it’s important to give them lots of shaded areas where they can relax away from the sun.

3) Regular grooming - this helps them to regulate their temperature, particularly if they have long or thick fur.

4) Regular cleaning - Bacteria flourishes in warm, damp spaces, so clean out your rabbit’s litter and bedding twice a day in particularly hot weather to prevent it from spreading.

What does Pride mean to you?🏳️‍🌈

We asked our Medivet colleagues that very question, and their answers are powerful, personal, and proud.

This video brings together voices from across our community to celebrate what Pride means to each of them. At Medivet, we believe in creating a workplace where everyone can be themselves and feel safe, seen, and supported – not just one month, but every day of the year.

Happy Pride month from all of us at Medivet.

It’s Rabbit Awareness Week! A time to shine a spotlight on our fluffy friends.

Have you heard of VHD2? It stands for Viral Haemorrhagic Disease 2 (VHD2) and is a highly contagious and often fatal virus affecting rabbits in the UK. It can spread through direct contact or even via shoes, clothing and insects, which is why vaccination is absolutely essential, even for indoor rabbits.

Speak to your local Medivet practice about how to keep your rabbit protected 💉❤️

Catching something early, goes a long way.
Don’t just lump it. Let’s check it.

The little guinea pig Wilbur came in for a lump removal. He was put under anaesthetic while the team at our Battersea practice gently removed his lump to send off to the lab.
He definitely received lots of kisses and cuddles afterwards.

Do you know how to spot blue-green algae?

Exposure to blue-green algae can cause long-term health problems in pets and can even be fatal. By drinking from or swimming in contaminated water, pets are at a high risk of becoming seriously ill.

Contact your vet immediately if you think your pet is at risk of blue-green algae poisoning. For more information of what to look out for and how to protect your pet, read our advice article here: https://bit.ly/3LqTmA4

Over the summer, our vets see a lot of dogs who have issues because of grass seeds. It is important to contact your vet immediately if you suspect your dog has an injury caused by a grass seed.

If walking your dog in long grass or woodland areas, we recommend checking your dog over and brushing away any grass seeds after the walk is done. Pay particular attention to paws, ears, eyes, and armpits.

Do you have questions about neutering your cat? It's something we strongly advise as it has many benefits for them and helps to tackle the number of stray cats in the UK.

Female cats will benefit from reduced risk of unwanted pregnancy, certain health conditions and even certain types of cancer. For male cats, neutering reduces their urge to fight other males, lessening the chance of certain diseases, and it also means they are less likely to mark their territory around your home.

Pets can develop skin allergies at any age, so it's important to make sure you know the signs and symptoms. Dogs may start scratching excessively, whereas cats may start licking their belly, back, or behind their legs more than usual.

The most common skin allergy is called atopic dermatitis, and although it's a lifelong condition, it can be controlled and managed, meaning your pet can lead a normal and healthy life. Treatments may include medication, supplements, or even newer monoclonal antibody treatments.

Dogs can pick up kennel cough multiple times throughout their lives, but in most cases, they can recover in a few weeks.

During this time, you should encourage your dog to rest and avoid collar and lead activity as it could put more strain on their respiratory system. You should talk to your vet if your dog’s cough persists, or if you notice any changes in behaviour such as a reduced appetite or less energy.

Our article on kennel cough explains more about the infection, what to look out for, and how to treat it. Read more here: https://bit.ly/44CKnV0

Is your rabbit protected against Myxomatosis? This highly infectious viral disease has a very high mortality rate and can leave your rabbit prone to other infections.

The best way to protect your rabbit is to vaccinate them, especially as there is no cure if your rabbit becomes infected. There's also ways to reduce the risk of your rabbit catching the virus.

Whether the sun is out or hiding in the clouds, your pets will want to be out in the garden this spring. Did you know there may be some hidden dangers in your garden that can injure or poison your pet?

Pets can develop allergies to certain plants, pollen, and insects. If you notice any hay-fever like symptoms, such as itchy, watery eyes or sneezing, contact your vet for advice. They can help you identify the causes and ease your pet’s symptoms.

Making sure your rabbit has the right diet will not only keep them healthy and full of the nutrients they need, but can also improve their dental health and regulate their digestive system.

Hay and grass should make up around 80% of your rabbit's diet, this can be fresh or dried grass, but they should have unlimited access to it. They can have a small amount of vegetables each day, around 15% of their diet. Rabbit-safe vegetables include broccoli, carrots, courgette and green beans.
