A lot goes into creating the ideal home for rabbits 🐇

Their environment has a huge impact on their health and wellbeing, so it's really important to make sure their home provides for all of their complex needs 🏡

Rabbits can live indoors or outdoors, but a hutch is not enough. Your rabbits’ living space should be as big as possible. 10ft x 6ft x 3ft/3m x 2m x 1m is the absolute minimum recommended space for a pair of rabbits.

Remember, the better their living space, the happier they’ll be!

Here’s everything you need to know: http://pdsa.me/9qqc

[Visual description: An infographic explaining the ideal home for your rabbits. This includes; A large, enclosed outdoor area they can use at all times, a neutered companion, one water bowl per rabbit, a litter tray, toys for entertainment, constant access to hay, a shaded area, a large shelter and dry, clean bedding that is comfortable and absorbent.]

𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬!

Heat stress starts as a reversible condition, but if not managed it will develop to heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous.

If your pet shows any of these signs, they should be moved to a cool area and offered plenty of water to drink.

Rabbit owners, do you know about flystrike? ⚠️

Flystrike is a painful, life-threatening condition caused by maggots burrowing under the skin and feeding on flesh.

Any rabbit can get flystrike if flies lay their eggs on their fur, however, there are some factors which put a rabbit at higher risk of developing this nasty condition:

- Time of year - Flystrike is more common in the warm, summer months when flies are most active.
- Dirty bottoms – Dirty, damp fur is the perfect place for flies to lay their eggs, so if your rabbit has a mucky bottom, they are at high risk of flystrike.
- Wounds – Flies are attracted to wounds and will choose to lay their eggs around them. If your rabbit has a wound, always have it checked by your vet as they'll show you how to keep it clean and protected.

Flystrike tends to develop very quickly. It only takes a few hours for their maggots to hatch, and they can eat deep into your rabbit's flesh in as little as 24 hours. So, if you see any maggots on your rabbits, contact your vet straight away 🏥

Thankfully, when treated early, rabbits can recover. But it’s really important to keep a close eye on your rabbits over the warm summer months to prevent flystrike. Here’s some advice from our vets: http://pdsa.me/qVZ8

[Visual description: Two white and grey rabbits in a large hutch together. In a pink circle is a picture of a fly and in a purple circle is a graphic image of maggots around a rabbit's bottom, with a warning symbol next to them.]

Kennel cough is a common airway infection that causes a nasty cough amongst dogs. As a dog owner, it's important to be aware of kennel cough, and spot the signs as early as possible to avoid spreading it to other dogs that yours may come into contact with 🦠

Most dogs with kennel cough can be treated at home without medication and recover within one to three weeks. However, if your dog has a severe cough or appears unwell, your vet may recommend medication.

Read our vet-approved advice on caring for dogs with kennel cough and how to prevent it: http://pdsa.me/3ER1

[Visual description: An infographic with a white background and a pink border that includes an image of a Labrador coughing with animated germs coming out of its mouth. The text reads: Kennel cough is an airway infection that causes a dry hacking cough in dogs. Similar to human colds, kennel cough can be caused by a number of different germs (viruses and bacteria). It’s most common in areas where lots of different dogs gather (such as kennels, dog shows and doggy day care) and can survive in the environment for several weeks. Symptoms of kennel cough usually take three to 14 days to develop and then last for one to three weeks. Hacking cough, reduced appetite, low energy, a high temperature. There are many different conditions that can cause coughing so it’s a good idea to have your dog checked by your vet if they have a severe cough or have been coughing for more than a few days.]

Many of you will remember Norman, who was a big part of setting up Briar Dawn Vets and worked here for over 15 years. You are all warmly invited to join us all to honour Norman’s life at the Wainsgate Community Chapel in Hebden Bridge on Friday 19th July at 1pm.

Norman was instrumental in setting up and running the practice: developed our in house laboratory; advanced our radiography facilities; managed all the maintenance and kept us in line with Health & Safety, even training us to use Fire Extinguishers in the garden. Latterly, he enjoyed looking after the gardens and planting many of the bulbs. Norman always had time to be interested in the pets and people who visited, often supporting families in difficult times and providing a listening ear.

We would love to hear any memories or stories you would like to share, and will add them to a memorial book at the service. Further details are in the invite.
