🐰💩 RABBIT AWARENESS WEEK - DIGESTION 💩🐰

Rabbits have a unique and delicate digestive system. Proper digestion is vital for their overall health and issues can quickly become serious if not addressed.

What to watch out for:
🐾 GI Stasis - a potentially life-threatening condition where the digestive system slows down or stops. Signs include a loss of appetite, lethargy and small or no faecal pellets.
🐾 Bloating - can be very painful and needs immediate veterinary attention.
🐾 Diarrhoea - often indicates a dietary issue or infection.

Types of rabbit poo:
🐾 Caecotrophs - these are soft, shiny and look like a small bunch of grapes. Your rabbit should eat these directly from their bottom as they produce them, therefore they should rarely be seen.
🐾 Faecal pellets - these are large, dry pellets and you should be able to see bits of chewed hay in them. They shouldn't smell and should crumble if you press on them.

Tips for a health digestive system:
🐾 Unlimited hay - provide unlimited access to fresh, high quality hay.
🐾 Balanced diet - include fresh leafy greens and a small amount of pellets. Avoid high-carb foods like bread and crackers.
🐾 Regular check-ups - regular vet visits can help catch and treat issues early.

‼️ Important update for Direct Insurance Claims ‼️

We wanted to inform you about a change in how we handle insurance claims for your pets.

We understand that navigating veterinary expenses, especially while awaiting insurance reimbursement, can sometimes pose financial challenges. That's why we have always aimed to ease this burden by offering direct claims, allowing your insurance provider to settle fees directly with us.

To ensure we can continue offering this valuable service, whilst also maintaining the sustainability of our practice, we will be introducing a modest fee of £5 per claim, effective 11th March 2024.

If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to support you and your pets every step of the way.

The laws around microchipping are changing!

Call us on 01803 613827 for details and to book your appointment with one of our lovely vets (or nurses if we’ve seen your cat recently) for a general health check and microchip implant to avoid any legal fines 😺

Be honest, how many times do you say bye to your pet before you leave the house?🫣👇

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"

When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."

Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."

$Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places...$

01/10/2023

Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.

He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."

Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."

Meet Jimmy, thanks to his microchip, he was reunited with his family after 2 years!

In 2021, Jimmy was suspected to be involved in a road traffic accident in which his owners were told he didn't make it. After straying for 2 years, a member of the public brought him into Doncaster Vets4Pets where our team scanned him for a microchip. After a quick call to his owners, our team were able to reunite him with his owners. We do love a happy ending💚

Storm visited Preston Capitol Vets4Pets after she got a stick stuck up her nose on a walk. The team used an otoscope to help find the stick inside her nasal passage. After using general anaesthetic, they used forceps to pull our the stick that was tightly wedged. After the removal, Storm was back to her usual happy self 💚
