📢 February is Spay & Neuter Awareness Month! 🐰🐹

This month, we’re highlighting the importance of spaying and neutering—and it’s not just for dogs and cats! Certain exotic companion mammals, like rabbits and guinea pigs, also benefit from these important procedures.

Spaying and neutering can:
✔ Prevent reproductive cancers
✔ Reduce hormone-driven behaviors like aggression and mounting
✔ Improve overall health and longevity
✔ Help prevent overpopulation and unplanned litters

For veterinary professionals, discussing the benefits of spay/neuter with exotic pet owners is key to ensuring longer, healthier lives for these animals.

A wonderful handout from Dr. Gallentine and all our friends at AAV!

Did you know... AAV offers a great handout titled, "How to Introduce Bathing to Your Bird"! 🛁🦜

Bathing is essential for keeping your bird’s feathers healthy and skin hydrated, but not all birds take to water the same way. Here are a couple of key tips from the handout:

💦 **Offer different bathing options**—some birds prefer a shallow dish, while others enjoy a light mist or even a gentle shower.
🌡 **Bath at the right time**—morning or early afternoon is best so your bird has plenty of time to dry before bedtime.

The holiday season can get hectic! Don’t forget to include your birds in the excitement of the season. It can be as simple as positive reinforcement training to get a picture of your feathered family member in front of the menorah or Christmas tree to baking a chicken-friendly gingerbread house! Do you have any holiday traditions with your birds? Share below!
