Pet travel has been back in the news.

For more details;

The pet travel scheme (PETS) allows dogs, cats and ferrets to travel through the EU and certain other countries based on a passport, microchip, rabies vaccination and certain pre-travel checks.

**Attention Rabbit Owners**
There has been a rise in a new variant of RHD2 cases reported nationally. The new variant isn't covered by the current Nobivac Myxo-RHD Plus vaccination.
As with most of the RHD variants, there often are no Clinical signs, just a sudden death which often goes unreported and undiagnosed, so we are not in a position to say how common this is locally. This is not something we want people to panic about but we felt we ought to try and offer some further information on the subject.

There is a new vaccination which has only become available in the past few weeks that does cover the new variants. The new vaccination is used as well as the current vaccinations rather than instead of.
**edit - disappointingly, the vaccine is now out of stock until mid/late Feb, we will start a waiting list**

To all those concerned.
We do have a stray dog in that will be going to the dog warden.
It is not an XL bully, it is not tall enough at the withers.
As a practice even if we did have an XL bully brought to us as a stray, this is not our policy or our role. Stray dogs are sent to the dog warden if an owner can't be contacted.
