With this heat please don't forget to keep pet rabbits cool as well as your other pets.......🐰🐰🐰

🚨 Attention Rabbit Owners 🚨

Did you know that rabbits are highly susceptible to heatstroke? 🐰🌡️ Unlike humans, rabbits can't sweat to cool down and are vulnerable to high temperatures. If temperatures rise above 25°C (77°F), they could be at risk! 🥵

Signs of Heat Stroke::

Lethargy
Heavy panting
Wetness around the nose
Confusion

Prevention Tips:

Keep them in a cool, shaded area.
Provide plenty of fresh water.
Use frozen water bottles.
Avoid direct sunlight.

A reminder for all cat owners! 🐱

From 10 June 2024 cats over 20 weeks old must be and registered on a compliant database 📆

By microchipping their cats, owners can increase the likelihood that they will be reunited with their beloved pet in the event that they go missing.

Read about Simba, whose microchip helped reunite him with his owner:

Its spring and that means gardening! As well as calls relating to plant ingestion, here at Animal PoisonLine/VPIS we have seen an increase in enquiries about exposure to fertilisers and patio cleaner, slug baits and weedkillers. We would urge everyone to keep garden chemicals away from pets and follow all safety advice on the labels.

🪴Fertilisers - will usually cause vomiting and diarrhoea, but no serious effects unless eaten in large quantity

🪴Slug bait - metaldehyde slug pellets are very dangerous even in small quantity and immediate advice should be sought for any ingestion. Ferrous based baits may cause gastrointestinal upset but the risk of iron toxicity is low unless large amounts are ingested relative to bodyweight.

🪴Patio cleaners - these generally contain quaternary ammonium compounds. They are very irritant and may cause damage to the skin and the mouth. Cats are particularly sensitive to these products and can develop serious oral injuries , pyrexia and inappetance. They often require veterinary care and recovery can take several days. Walking through wet product can be enough to cause a problem .

🪴Weedkiller - toxicity will vary depending on the active ingredient in the product, dilution and level of exposure. Glyphosate (an organophosphate) and dicamba/phenoxyacetic acid chemicals are often present in products available widely for use in the garden. Follow instructions carefully, keep all packaging and seek advice after exposure. In all cases ingestion of the neat product is more likely to cause significant toxicity than walking through treated grass. Signs include gastrointestinal upset, skin irritation and neurological signs (in severe cases)

If you’re considering adding pet rabbits to your home then please .

The UK is experiencing the worst rabbit rescue crisis ever & rescue centres are overwhelmed, you can help by adopting buns that are currently at these centres looking for new homes 🐰🐰

How rabbit adoption works.

- Most rescue centres will want to visit your home to see where the rabbits will live before letting you adopt.

- They will also ask you questions to make sure you fully understand what a commitment it is and what level of welfare is needed.

To educate yourself further & understand the level of commitment buns need, download your free copy of On The Hop here: https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/rabbit-care-booklet/

With winter here, it is important to be aware of ethylene glycol toxicity. The most common source of ethylene glycol toxicity is antifreeze❄️

Ethylene glycol can affect all animals, but unfortunately outdoor cats are more susceptible due to their roaming behaviours.
By the time clinical signs are evident, it is often too late for antidotal therapy to be started.

If you suspect that your pet has ingested ethylene glycol, veterinary treatment must be sought as soon as possible.

☎️Veterinary professionals can call VPIS for detailed treatment advice on 0207 3055 055☎️

With temperatures plummeting this week, many of us will have antifreeze around to keep our cars running smoothly. ❄

But, beware! ⚠ Antifreeze is highly toxic to cats and although you wouldn't think it, they can find the sweet smell appealing. Store it safely and securely away from prying paws and don't forget to mop up if any is spilled.

Do I need to get my indoor rabbits vaccinated? 🤔💉

The bottom line: Yes.

Just because your rabbits don’t live outdoors doesn’t mean they cannot contract infections and diseases. Bacteria and parasites can be tracked indoors through our shoes, other pets, and insects 🦟

This risk increases during the summer months as we spend more time outdoors, there are more insects about, and our windows are open.

An open window is an open invitation. Please don’t take the risk and always get your rabbits vaccinated 🩺

The sun is shining in many parts of the UK and many of us will be looking forward to making the most of it over the next few days ☀️🧡

Unfortunately, high temperatures can be fatal to our dogs so it's really important to be aware of when they are at risk. Our handy guide shows when temperatures are safe for your dog to go outside. Remember, always walk your dog in the cooler parts of the day, such as first thing in the morning and later on in the evening.

Please share this information with other owners to help keep our pets safe and happy. 🐾

Did you know that March is Pet Poison Prevention Awareness Month?? 💊🧅🧄🍇🍫💊
Most of us are probably familiar with the day to day substances to avoid for our pets e.g. grapes, chocolate, onions, lilies (cats), and human medications. However in some cases public perception of what may or may not be toxic to your pet does not always stand true.

The Veterinary Poisons Information Service provides the most up to date information on toxicity and risks associated with ingestion of almost any substance by your pet and they even have an owner telephone advice line!

Below is some recent advice from the VPIS regarding Daffodils. 🌾🌼🌱
Be sure to seek advice from your vet if in any doubt regarding regarding the safety margin of any unusual substances your pet may have ingested!

There is a lot of misleading information on the internet at this time of year relating to daffodil toxicity in pets, and we understand that this can cause a lot of worry and anxiety to pet owners.

Daffodils contain irritant compounds that often cause gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting and diarrhoea. It is important to note, however, that severe cases are uncommon and many animals can be managed at home.

📞If you are concerned that your pet has ingested a daffodil, we recommend contacting Animal PoisonLine for advice on 01202 509 000📞

This is great news for any lost or stolen pet cats and their owners. 🐱🐱🐱
Is your cat microchipped...??

Today we’re celebrating the news that after years of campaigning by Cats Protection and our supporters, compulsory microchipping of pet cats has been announced and will come into force in June 2024 in England. More microchipped cats means more lost cats potentially reunited with their owners. Thank you for all your support in getting the government to take action!

Today is Saint Valentine’s Day and it is a day people often show their affection to one another by sending gifts 💝

Unfortunately, this means potentially dangerous ⚠️ items can be left in reach of curious cats:

💐 Floral bouquets – comprising toxic flowers such as lilies, tulips, and daffodils
🍫 Chocolates - contain theobromine which cats can’t metabolise
🍬 Sweets – containing xylitol are toxic and wrappers could be swallowed
🔋 Cards – containing small batteries or small objects that could be swallowed
🕯 Candles - burn hazard
🧴 Essential oils – most are toxic and can be found in diffusers, cosmetics and toiletries
🍷 Alcohol - toxic to cats

iCatCare recommends being proactive and ensuring all these hazards are kept out of reach of cats to help keep them safe during the valentine’s celebrations ❤️

You can find out more about “Keeping Cats Safe” here ➡️ https://icatcare.org/our-campaigns/keeping-cats-safe/

Share a photo of your cat celebrating Valentine’s Day in a cat friendly way in the comments 👇 😻
