To prevent gut stasis (guts stopping) in rabbits after surgery we often assist with their feeding to ensure they have food going through π°
We try and keep the room as calm and voices as gentle but encouraging as possible, it is quite a special moment for all involved as you really feel close to your patients at this point π₯°
Here is Herbie having an assisted feed on recovery after his dental treatment, groom and complimentary nail trim. As you can see he is taking this very well indeed π»

Monty
Pet Awareness Month
πΎ Monty πΎ
πΎMonty is a Cocker Spaniel who will be 10 in June. He is an absolute joy, so affectionate, a non stop wagging tail, and thinks everyone is his friend.
He had an accident Christmas 2018, dislocating his knee and rupturing his cruciate ligament. After surgery and months of physio it was recommended he had hydrotherapy. He started at K9 Aquacise in Romsey last March with 'Aunty' Pam Stokes and absolutely loves it...goes once a week now and can't wait to get into the water. It's good all round exercise for him as he can't run and play with other dogs any more. Pam Stokes is part of the wonderful Hampshire Search and Rescue Dogs team, last summer Monty took part in a fund raising Swimathon, completing 40 lengths!! Would certainly recommend swimming for dogs Monty never wants to come out of the pool!!' πΎ
