🐰Rabbit teeth trimming 🐰

While bunnies are becoming a popular house pet these days here is something you maybe did not know about these little fluff balls!

What does this mean, this is when the veterinarian trims the teeth of a rabbit with a high speed drill.
This process is quick and easy and is done without any sedation.
Why do we do it?

🐰Overgrown teeth
🐰 Treat spurs, hard spiky structures that grow into the gums and cause irritation
🐰Tooth alignment

So how can you maintain healthy teeth in rabbits:
🐇Provide unlimited access to good quality hay
🐇 Offer a portion of fresh vegetables every day
🐇Provide chew toys
🐇Limited amounts of good quality pellets

When we say it's tick fever season, this is what we see! 🔬
Here are the parasites on this blood smear ‼️

Babesia is a tick-borne parasite that causes the destruction of red blood cells, leading to anaemia and lethargy.
We have been seeing a lot of cases presenting at the hospital in the past 3 weeks, so please ensure your tick treatment for your pets is up to date.

It is so vital to keep up with your tick and flea treatment year round🐾
