Inappetant Rabbit 🐰

There are various symptoms to look out for when you suspect inappetance (also known as anorexia) in your rabbit; among these:

- Refusal to eat
- F***l pellets that are small in size or amount
- Weight loss
- Pain while swallowing (Dysphagia)
- Pain while eating (Odynophagia)
- Chronic bad breath (halitosis)

Additional clinical signs will vary depending on the underlying cause of the condition. For example, signs of pain such as teeth grinding or a hunched posture may point to oral disease.

Possible Causes:

- Stomach ulcers
- Dental diseases
- A metabolic disorder (e.g., kidney failure)
- Cardiac failure
- Infectious disease
- Respiratory disease
- Neurological disease
- Tumor growth
- Poisoning
- Environmental or dietary changes

If you notice any of these symptoms present in your rabbit, please contact your veterinary practice, so an appointment can be made for them as soon as possible.

🐰 Getting Your Rabbit Neutered 👩‍⚕️

Neutering a male rabbit means removing its te**es, while the equivalent procedure in a female is called spaying – the removal of the reproductive organs. Either way, it is a routine procedure that your vet can perform.

What are the benefits of neutering? -

The benefits of neutering your rabbit are seen both for your rabbits and for you.

- No risk of pregnancy. Pregnancy is a difficult time, and rabbits do not get the emotional reward we may from reproducing. Rabbits can have multiple litters per year, and pregnancy and birth both carry risks to both your rabbit and the kittens.

- Improves socialisation. Rabbits need companionship, and a human is not enough, imagine not having any friends who speak your language! Guinea pigs are also not suitable companions. Neutering both is really important, as male-female pairings generally work best socially.

- Less risk of cancer. Sadly, female rabbits are very likely to develop uterine (womb) cancers relatively early in life. They can also develop womb infections, or other cancers such as mammary (breast tissue) cancer. Neutering when young greatly reduces the chances of these occurring.

- Better temper! Neutered rabbits are less temperamental and generally easier to handle, which is especially important if you have children.

- Better house training. Neutered rabbits are much less likely to exhibit these marking behaviours.

- Remove risk of false pregnancies. Unneutered female rabbits often develop false pregnancies, which can cause very hormonal behaviour such as aggression towards their owners or other rabbits.

To book your rabbit in to be neutered, or for more information, please contact the practice.

🐰 Rabbit Housing - How to give your rabbit the home it deserves! 🏠

When you choose how to house your rabbits, the RWA recommendation for any hutch/run is shown in the image attached to this post. Any hutch must be at least 2ft high so your rabbit can stand on it's hind legs if they want to.

It’s not only the hutch you need to think about though, rabbits need to be able to run around and explore their environment. So if you’re unable to give them free, safe access to your garden, you need to provide them with an enclosed run area, ideally on grass and attached to the hutch so they have free access. The minimum size of your run should be 8ft x 6ft x 3ft. Some people even convert a garden shed and attach a full height run which means very happy rabbits!

These are the minimum requirements; if you’re able to then your rabbits would love to have an even bigger space to explore!

Rabbit bedding -

For their bedding, straw or hay is ideal – but make sure it is soft and dust free. Your rabbits will eat hay (which is a good thing!) but make sure it’s always fresh and topped up. What’s important is that their bedding area is warm, dry and not exposed to any drafts.

Can you keep rabbits indoors? -

Some rabbits love living indoors, but the same guidelines apply as to how much space they have to roam. If you plan to use a specific room, make sure it meets the minimum size guidelines. They need to have a cosy place to sleep, somewhere they can retreat to for some quiet time. Many rabbits also take very well to litter trays.

It’s important to make sure the indoor rabbit house is not in the main areas of the family home, with lots of noise and activity as some rabbits can get very stressed by this. Make sure you rabbit-proof your house as well; rabbits love nothing more than chewing, and electrical wires pose a very real threat to them!

Is your bunny bored? -

As well as hutch and run size, bedding and space, consider what your rabbits might like to play with. Rabbits are very inquisitive by nature and love nothing more than chewing a new toy, or throwing things around!

Feeding Rabbits and Getting It Right! 🐰⭐

Feeding the correct diet is probably the single most important means of having a healthy and long-lived rabbit.

Approximately 85% of a rabbit’s diet should be grass/good quality hay, 10% leafy green vegetables and only 5% pellets or nuggets.

Feeding rabbits is actually simple and straightforward. The best diet for rabbits is one that mimics their natural grass-based diet in the wild as closely as possible. This means they should be fed unlimited good quality hay or grass, and some leafy green vegetables and herbs, which can be supplemented with a small measured amount of nuggeted or pelleted feed.

Treats should be kept to a minimum, but if they are fed they should be healthy and natural. Fresh drinking water must always be available.

🐱 Allergy Testing 🐶

Did you know that an accurate allergy diagnosis requires thorough physical examination including a complete clinical history? All other known causes of itching, such as parasites and infections, must be treated or ruled out before allergy can be diagnosed. Allergies are known to affect up to 10-30% of dogs and 10-20% of cats.

An allergy test can simply involve a routine blood test and the blood sample is sent to an external lab to find out what your pet is allergic to. The blood is tested against an extensive profile of allergens such as parasites, grass pollens and tree pollens and measures allergen specific allergic antibodies in the bloodstream. It is done primarily to decide upon which allergens to include in a treatment called Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT).

If you would like to know further information about allergy testing of your pet please contact us at the practice or if you are passing by we also have some helpful information leaflets to hand out.

Zara says her tortoise Tiddles is surprisingly fast on his feet – so she took him to Vets4Pets Warminster to be microchipped before he heads outside in the summer.

Zara adopted two-year-old Tiddles from a friend last August, said: "I took him to make sure he didn't have a previous microchip and also so that come summer when he goes out in the garden if he decides to go on an adventure I can find him. People think that tortoises are slow but I couldn't believe how fast he was! He also likes climbing so we have to keep an eye on him. I just love the fact tortoises look so ancient, everything about them is so elegant. No two days are the same with him."

Vet Tamsin, who looked after Tiddles, says it's a legal requirement for tortoises over 60mm in length to be microchipped before they can be sold, and it will help reunite them with their family if they have gone wandering. She said: "It's a straightforward process; the tortoises are kept awake and the microchip goes under the skin on a back leg. Tiddles didn't seem to mind!"

DR BRAMBLES CLINIC 🩺 - GRASS SEEDS 🌱

It’s grass seed season so Dr Bramble thought she would show you how to check for grass seeds after you come back off a walk with your pups 🐶

1. Check the paws 🐾
Grass seeds can bury themselves in between paw pads, toes and nestle within paw fur! By checking them you can hopefully get any seeds removed before they bury too deep and a trip to the vet is required.

2. Check ears
It is important to go careful when checking ears, gently lift to check the underside of the ear and at the beginning of the canal. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT FINGERS OR TWEEZERS IN THE EAR AS THIS CAN CAUSE MORE DAMAGE AND CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR YOUR PET.
If you are concerned a seed in in your pets ears make an appointment with the vet as they have specialist tools to check 🩺

3. Armpits & Groin
Search the surrounding armpit and groin area for any seeds that may have latched onto your pet after a walk. Again by checking this you may be able to remove the seed before it nestles too deep.

Always go careful when checking for grass seeds as if they do have one buried somewhere they can be incredibly sore 💕

If you have any concerns about grass seeds please call the team on 01985 853970.

⭐ Meet Merlin ⭐

Merlin who is a Maine C**n was a very brave boy who came to the practice to be castrated and we found that he was also cryptorchid. Merlin was quite happy to have lots of fuss from the nurses during his stay 🐾💙

What is Cryptorchidism?
Cryptorchidism only affects a small percent of male cats. The testicles can be retained in various parts of the groin area, including inside the abdomen, the inguinal region (where the abdomen and rear legs connect) and just beneath the skin in the groin tissue. Veterinary treatment (surgery) is necessary to eliminate serious conditions that can develop later in the cat’s life.
At birth, a kitten’s testicles are located inside the abdomen near the kidneys. Over the next few months, the te**es descend down to the groin and out into the scrotal sac. Rarely, one or both of the te**es fails to descend all of the way to the sc***um. This condition is referred to as cryptorchidism. If only one te**is fails to descend, it is termed unilateral, whereas if both te**es are affected it is called bilateral. Bilateral cryptorchidism is far less common than unilateral.

Symptoms of Cryptorchidism in Cats:
The cat will generally not exhibit any concerning health symptoms unless the retained testicles are left in the body until adulthood. While serious complications are rare, they can develop. Symptoms to watch for include:
• Infertility
• Marking or spraying
• Aggression
• Pain or inflammation
• Cancerous growths
• Other congenital defects such as a kinked tail, leg deformities, dislocated kneecaps, heart defects, small eyes or missing upper eyelids

🦷 How to care for your dog's teeth 🦷

Taking the time to look after your dog's teeth will help keep them happy and healthy. Poor mouth hygiene can lead to tooth loss, dog breath smells, and more serious health issues including heart, kidney, and liver disease. To avoid this and keep your dog's pearly whites glistening, here's our guide to dog teeth brushing and dog dental care.

How to brush your dog's teeth:

The thought of cleaning your canine's canines might seem overwhelming at first, but the key is to be patient and stay positive. Here's a quick checklist of what you'll need:

- Dog-friendly toothpaste (never use human toothpaste)
- Pet toothbrush
- Water
- Patience and positivity

To put your dog at ease, we recommend cleaning their gnashers in a location they're comfortable with.

First, put some dog-friendly toothpaste on your finger and let your dog lick it to get used to the taste. Also, show them the toothbrush so they get used to that too.
To get your dog used to the motion (and feeling) of the toothbrush, gently brush a couple of their teeth using a circular motion.
Once they're used to it, slowly brush all of their teeth, starting with the outside before moving to the inside.
If your dog doesn’t take to the whole teeth cleaning routine and you're wondering how to clean your dogs teeth without brushing, you can introduce dental foods and plaque removal products but these wont do as good a job as brushing, however these doggy dental aids can help clean hard to reach back teeth and reduce plaque.

Reducing bad breath:

If your dog’s breath smells, a) this is more common in older dogs and b) there are plenty of dog oral care options on offer to help freshen the aroma. It's worth noting that bad breath in dogs could indicate a poor diet, gum disease, or lodged food.

So, if you notice that your dog has constant bad breath, bleeding gums, red or swollen gums, or a sudden change in their eating and chewing habits, be sure to contact your vet.

When Kelly from our Colton store's Pets Grooming salon discovered a lump on the tail of nine-year-old Rufus she suspected something wasn't right, so alerted his owners Les and Andrea so they could get it checked out. They brought him to Vets for Pets Leeds Colton where it was confirmed he had a cancerous tumour which needed surgery.

Les, who adopted Rufus from Dogs Trust in Leeds as a puppy, said: “Rufus is such a big part of our life; we’re absolutely besotted with him. We probably wouldn’t have noticed the lump if not at the groomers as the tail isn’t somewhere you would usually stroke and feel. Kelly loves Rufus and really looks after him, so we want to say a big thanks for spotting it. Who'd have known what would have happened if she hadn’t noticed.”

Rufus had to have his tail removed, but is now making a good recovery. He's been visiting Kelly for a groom every six weeks for the last three years. She said: “You get to know everything about a dog as you groom them. I’ve discovered similar things before on other dogs so I mentioned it to the owners so they could get it checked out. Dogs are my life and you do worry; I’m so pleased they caught it. Now he’s got a fully docked tail like a little bunny rabbit. It’s lovely and suits him – when he gets washed he wiggles his bum.”

Arthur's owner Louise says he "looked like a brand-new tortoise" after having his beak filed at Sutton in Ashfield Vets4Pets.

Louise adopted the four-year-old Horsefield Tortoise from a family member in October. Although she has had other pets, Arthur is her first tortoise, so she has been doing some research on how to best care for him.

Louise said: "I noticed Arthur's beak was unusually long, so I brought him in to Vets for Pets; I bring all my pets there. When he came out, I thought 'you beautiful boy, look at you – you look so handsome!"

Vet Steph, who looked after Arthur, says that tortoise beaks continuously grow and normally grind down themselves while they're eating. She said: "Arthur needed a little help as his jaw isn't perfectly aligned; his lower jaw is further out than his top jaw, so I filed it around half a centimetre. He was really good; a real cutie."

18/02/2024

Owner Claire says she couldn't be more grateful to Vets4Pets Hamilton after their quick diagnosis saved the sight of six-year-old Alba.

Claire knew there was something terribly wrong with her miniature dachshund cross when she called her in from the back garden last summer and Alba ran headfirst into a closed patio door. She rushed her to the vets, where investigations led the team to diagnose her with uveitis – an eye condition which causes inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.

Claire said: "It all happened so suddenly; Alba must have heard my voice and guessed where to go. It was quite scary seeing how bad she was. We couldn't be more grateful for the team in Hamilton spotting the uveitis as quickly as they did, otherwise Alba would have gone blind within a matter of days. Their knowledge saved Alba's sight. I still can't believe it happened. It's taken months of treatments, but it's such a relief to have our girl back to being her funny, bossy self."

Vet Neil, one of the team who treated Alba, said: "Alba's pupil was really narrow and wouldn't respond to light properly, which can be a sign of uveitis. Once we had ruled out other conditions, we were able to get her to an eye specialist for ongoing treatment. She's now doing really well."

Ducky's owner Antonia was in a state of panic when she saw a fox had dug its way into the field where she keeps him – killing two of her other ducks and chickens.

Antonia was about to move her brood into their pen for the evening when she saw what had happened and noticed that Ducky had severe bite wounds under his wing. She rushed him to Vets4Pets Vets Milton Keynes for emergency surgery – and after having his wound stitched up the one-year-old duck is now making a good recovery.

Antonia said: "I was so worried. You don’t often hear of ducks recovering from fox attacks, but there is something about Ducky and the way he was so brave. I'm sure he was protecting a lady duck, as he's a bit of a romantic. It's the first time we've gone to Vets for Pets, and the team were amazing; they've done an incredible job."

Vet Becca, who treated Ducky, said: "He's a really lucky duck, as it was quite a big wound. When he first came in, he was understandably subdued and quiet but when he came back for his stitches to be taken out, he wanted to explore and tuck his head into everyone’s shoulders."

Well done to the team at Vets4Pets Guildford who've been awarded a silver level certificate for being a rabbit-friendly clinic.

After head veterinary nurse Ella noticed that more customers were bringing in rabbits the practice took a series of steps to give them as stress-free an experience as possible. Ella, who also fosters rescue dogs in her spare time, said: "There was a long list of things that we needed to prove that we did from making sure the rabbits are kept separate from other animals and not booked in at the same time as barking dogs, to providing heated kennels for those who need to stay in, and using special equipment made especially for rabbits."

Practice manager Kevin said: "All of our vets have plenty of experience with rabbits we have some real rabbit geeks here, so it was a big thing to us. There are so many good people in this world and I'm so proud to be around them."

Beautiful Bear was born deaf, so he's learned to follow his owner Lisa's visual commands.

Lisa, who shops at our Tamworth store – "it's my second home!" – got two-year-old Bear as a kitten and suspected he was deaf when he didn't respond to her voice. She had it confirmed by her vet soon after. She said: "He was very scatty, and scared of people he didn’t recognise. He wasn’t bothered by loud noises like my other cat Emily and when I came home from work he wouldn’t hear the door open.

"He's doing really well though. I try to do some sign language with him – I point at him and do a solid hand sign at him to stop. He picks up on vibrations and scents too. He meows, making a really loud chirping sound which I’ve never heard a cat do before, and he’s always rubbing his head against my legs and following me everywhere. I was advised not to let him out because he wouldn’t hear cars or other dangers, so he comes outside with me every morning to have a sniff around the garden and always comes straight back in." Bear and Lisa's other cat Emily are on Instagram as

Ten-year-old Dutch rabbit Alfie has been visiting vet Kate at Vets4pets Wolverhampton for dental treatment for the last eight years – and she says he's such a loveable character that he's become "part of the family".

He's one of the oldest rabbits treated by Kate and the team, and she says his longevity is down to the care and love he gets from his owner Tracy and her family. Kate said: "Alfie is famous in this practice – everyone knows him. We and his family are dedicated to making sure her little old man is happy. The beautiful thing about being a vet or vet nurse is you build these relationships with the owners and their pets – they become your surrogate pets."

Tracy's been keeping rabbits all her life, and says that having space and routine is key. She said: "Alfie is an old man now and has a routine. He goes into a hutch at night and is let out in the morning. He's out all day and has his favourite spots in the house. We clean him out every day and give him a lot of attention. When he was younger he would follow us around; if I was clearing a cupboard out he would be in the cupboard to help. Now he's old and wants to be warm and watch instead. I can't thank Kate and the practice enough. Kate's been fantastic with him."

26/01/2024

Eight-year-old Winnie the Schnauzer cross is running around like a puppy again thanks to laser treatment and physiotherapy after two successful knee operations at Vets for Pets Basildon.

Worried owner Tracy brought Winnie in to the practice after she collapsed on a walk last year – and the team discovered the cruciate ligament in a knee had ruptured. She’s since had ops on two knees and is on a recovery plan led by vet physiotherapist Izzy.

Tracy said: "Winnie has had a tough year with 15 teeth removed, two cruciate ligament operations and two bouts of pancreatitis but thankfully she's hardy. She’s treated fabulously at the Basildon practice. Izzy is great with her – she totally relaxes in her hands and does little snores with her eyes open. Winnie has a new lease of life again and is running around like a puppy."

Izzy said: "When pets have surgery or injure themselves they move differently which causes them to be sore in other places. Winnie has laser therapy then a massage to help the healing process. Laser treatment is a specialist service that not enough people know about – it can help in so many ways after an operation.”

If you have any questions about what we offer please contact the practice via phone, Whatsapp, email or pop into the practice to have a chat with one of the team.

Jenny the Head Nurse/Practice Managers puppy Lylla has been making lots of progress with her training and we thought we would show you a little video of some of the tricks she has recently learnt, such as sit, lie down, spin and high five. Jenny found that Lylla was very responsive to clicker training when learning new commands. We think she is a clever little girl 🐶🐾

Remember Pepper ? 🐶 Pepper came in to visit us for a post op check and was quite happy with her new Santa Claus Christmas toy 🎄 She’s bounced back and her wound is healing perfectly, well done Pepper ⭐️ #vets4pets #vets4petswarminster #dalmatian #spay #post #op #check #postopcheck #christmas #Christmas #dog #toy #christmasdogtoy

⭐️ Socks ⭐️ Socks the rat has been in to us as we needed to treat a mass on his neck. He had lots of fuss from our vet nurse, and even enjoyed a post anaesthetic water refreshment ❤️

❗️ Grass seed alert ❗️

❗️Grass seed alert ❗️ Lovely Poppy came in to us to have a grass seed removed from her ear. As this grass seed was deep in Poppys ear she had to go under sedation for the vet to get it out. Pesky grass seeds can wiggle themselves into all sorts of places, most commonly found in ears, eyes, paws and armpits. Hope your feeling better now Poppy 💗
