🐰🍪 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐁𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐢! 🍪🐰
Meet Biscotti, a handsome 5-month-old Lop who visited Dr Jade on Friday for his castration procedure.
During his stay, Biscotti checked into his own private heated hospital suite and enjoyed five-star care from start to finish. To ensure a smooth and pain-free experience, he received a carefully tailored combination of medications before his procedure. In fact, he was so relaxed that his little tongue was hanging out! 😝

To keep him safe and comfortable throughout his anaesthetic, Biscotti was snuggled up on our Bair Hugger warming system from pre-medication right through to recovery. Maintaining body temperature is an important part of rabbit anaesthesia and helps support a smooth recovery.
Once awake, Biscotti recovered beautifully and tucked into a syringe-full of Oxbow Critical Care, followed by a very special post-operative picnic lovingly packed by his mum. 💚

While he was here, Biscotti also took advantage of our Rabbit Vaccination Promotion, receiving his first 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐜 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞, which protects against the deadly rabbit calicivirus strains RHDV1 and RHDV2, as well as a 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 to help protect against external parasites such as fleas, mites and lice, which can spread disease between rabbits.
After a thorough health check, Dr Jade was happy to give Biscotti a clean bill of health and an impressive 𝟏𝟏/𝟏𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 before sending him home with pain relief for the next five days. 🥰

Did you know that male rabbits can be castrated from around 𝟓 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐠𝐞? Castration helps prevent unwanted pregnancies, allows males and females to be kept together safely, reduces hormone-related behaviours such as mounting, spraying and aggression, and eliminates the risk of testicular tumours.
Following surgery, rabbits require approximately 𝟏𝟎-𝟏𝟒 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 for healing, with follow-up examinations performed to monitor recovery and ensure everything is progressing smoothly.
If your rabbit is due for a health check, vaccination or you'd like to discuss neutering, we'd love to help. Book an appointment with our exotics veterinarian and give your bunny the very best start to a healthy, happy life. 🐇❤️

🐰 Rabbit Vaccination Promotion 🐇
Offer Ends: 26th September 2026

Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), also known as calicivirus, is a highly contagious and often fatal disease affecting domestic rabbits. There are currently three strains present in Australia: RHDV1, RHDV1a and RHDV2, with RHDV2 now the dominant strain causing deaths in pet rabbits.
RHDV can spread through direct contact with infected rabbits or their urine, faeces and saliva. It can also be spread indirectly via contaminated clothing, shoes, food, bedding and equipment. Insects such as flies, mosquitoes and fleas can carry the virus between rabbits, meaning even rabbits that live exclusively indoors are at risk.

To help protect your bunny, Montrose Vet Centre is offering a special Rabbit Vaccination Promotion featuring Filavac VHD K C + V. Unlike the previously used Cylap vaccine, which primarily protected against the original RHDV1 strain, Filavac is an inactivated bivalent vaccine that provides protection against both RHDV1 and RHDV2, offering broader protection for Australian rabbits.

As part of this package, your rabbit will receive their annual vaccination, one month of FREE parasite treatment, a thorough health check and a comprehensive husbandry assessment with our experienced exotic veterinarian. This assessment includes tailored advice on nutrition, housing, environmental enrichment, dental health, parasite prevention and overall preventative care, ensuring your rabbit is receiving the very best care possible.
While annual vaccination is essential, we recommend twice-yearly health checks for rabbits, as they are masters at hiding illness. Regular examinations allow us to identify problems early and keep your rabbit happy and healthy.

📅 Special offer ends 26 September 2026
📞 Contact Montrose Vet Centre to book your rabbit's appointment with Dr Jade on a Friday or every Second Saturday by calling 62723599

We love seeing new and existing patients and for a bit of fun please post a pic of your bunny in the comments below 🙂

Some of this morning’s little family members

We’re excited to share that Montrose Veterinary Centre is now able to see a wider range of exotic pets, alongside our usual canine and feline patients.

This morning we had the pleasure of meeting some very special patients, including a gorgeous ferret and an Indian Ringneck parrot! 🦜❤️

Exotic pets have their own unique health, nutritional and husbandry needs, and we’re thrilled to be able to provide veterinary care for more of the wonderful species that make up our families.

From feathers to fur and everything in between, our team is looking forward to welcoming your unique companions into the clinic.

If you have an exotic pet and would like to know more about the care we can provide, get in touch with our friendly team!

More than $1 million in veterinary care provided. Nearly 2,000 pets helped in less than two years (including just six months in Tasmania).

This is the incredible impact the Pet SafetyNet community, together with our clinics has made possible.

Many of these pets were facing economic euthanasia before Pet SafetyNet stepped in. Today, those animals are home where they belong — with the families who love them.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this program and helped ensure that financial hardship doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to a beloved pet.

Sadly, the H5N1 strain of Avian Influenza has been confirmed in Australia, after an unwell migratory bird was found and tested in Western Australia.

Bird flu can spread quickly by bird-to-bird contact, as well as through contact with contaminated material such as drinking water and food, manure, farming materials and equipment.

It is not possible to stop infected wildlife entering Tasmania.

As advised by Biosecurity Tasmania, when bird flu arrives:

​- it could cause large numbers of bird and wild mammal deaths

- it could affect poultry (chicken and egg farms) and other industries

- there could be large numbers of dead and unwell animals visible in the community

- scavenging species such as the Tasmanian devil, wedge-tailed eagles, or quolls may become sick and die after eating infected birds

If you own birds, some simple hygiene practices will help you protect your flock.

- Make sure wild birds cannot access the same food and water supply as your birds, don’t use water from sources wild birds also use, and keep your infrastructure and equipment clean.

- Wash your hands after handling birds and equipment.

Watch out for signs and symptoms of the disease:

​- breathing problems like coughing or sneezing

- circling

- tremors and incoordination

- twisting of the neck

- inability to stand or fly

- swelling in the head region

- change of colour or cloudiness in the eyes

Signs in live mammals include tremors and incoordination, seizures, breathing problems, and runny nose and drooling.

If you see large numbers (more than 5) of sick or dead birds or other wildlife, phone the Emergency Animal Disease hotline as soon as possible on 1800 675 888.

We will keep the community informed as this disease sadly progresses.
