🐾 Patient Spotlight: Yrsa & Mishka 🐾

This week we had the absolute pleasure of caring for the sweetest brother and sister duo, Yrsa and Mishka, who came in for their spay and castration surgeries. 💕

These two little angels were so brave and did amazingly well throughout the day. Yrsa wasn't too impressed when she had to be separated from her brother and cried until they could be reunited again and Mishka welcomed her back with kisses it was the sweetest reminder of just how close they are. 🥹❤️

Once they were back together, they were much happier, and it certainly melted all of our hearts. They quickly became firm favorites with everyone at the practice, and we loved looking after them.

We wish Yrsa and Mishka a speedy recovery and plenty of cuddles at home! 🐱💙💖

***OWNER FOUND*** We have a beautiful black cat with white socks who was brought in after an incident with a car near Hopwoods Road, Bury St Edmunds - we are happy to report they are doing well and have received pain relief (and lots of dreamies!) but unfortunately the microchip is unregistered to any database. There is an Apple Airtag on the collar. We have called other surrounding practices and hope this information gets shared so we can reunite owner and pet! Thank you to everyone who shares! V4P Team

🐰💚 Hops and Brains – The Key to a Happy Rabbit! 🧠🥕

Did you know that keeping your rabbit entertained is just as important as feeding them the right diet? Alongside spacious housing, daily exercise and enrichment help keep rabbits healthy, active, and mentally stimulated.

A busy bunny is a happy bunny! 🐇✨

🏃 Free-range fun

If you have a safe, secure garden or a rabbit-proof indoor space, let your rabbits stretch their legs and explore under careful and constant supervision.

You might even catch them doing a joyful binky as they zoom around! Not only is it adorable, but it also helps maintain a healthy body weight and prevents boredom.

🌿 Foraging adventures

Rabbits are natural foragers and love searching for tasty surprises.

Try:
🥬 Hiding dried herbs or edible flowers in their hay
🌾 Scattering forage or favourite treats around a tray
🧩 Using treat balls or puzzle feeders to make snack time more exciting

After all, who doesn’t enjoy working for their dinner?

🚇 Tunnel vision

As prey animals, rabbits feel safest when they have places to hide.

Provide:
🏠 Tunnels to run through
📦 Hideaways to retreat into
⬆️ Small rabbit-safe platforms to encourage climbing, curiosity, and exploration

Your rabbits will be hopping from one adventure to the next!

🌳 Chew on this…

Chewing is completely natural and helps keep rabbits occupied.

Offer safe alternatives such as:
🌿 Willow balls
🍎 Apple tree sticks
🌾 Hay-based enrichment toys

This can help save your furniture from becoming an unexpected snack!

🕳️ Digging delights

Wild rabbits spend much of their lives digging burrows, so why not let your pet rabbits enjoy this instinct too?

Create a digging box using:
📦 A cardboard box filled with hay and shredded brown paper
🏖️ A container filled with damp, child-safe play sand
🌱 Or even clean soil in a supervised outdoor setup just make sure they can burrow out!

It’s a brilliant way to let them express their natural behaviours.

🤝 Building trust

Rabbits are social companions who can form wonderful bonds with people when approached gently and patiently.

Sit quietly at their level, let them come to you, and reward them with rabbit-safe treats, gentle strokes, or grooming when they’re comfortable. Before long, you may have a fluffy little friend following you around!

📸 We’d love to see your happy hoppers! Share a photo in the comments of your rabbits enjoying their favourite exercise or enrichment activity. Whether they’re digging, foraging, zooming through tunnels, or showing off an impressive binky, we can’t wait to see them! 🐰💚

It’s Day 5 of Rabbit Awareness Week: Feeding Bunnies Better!🥬🐰

A rabbit that stops eating is often a rabbit that needs urgent veterinary attention. Changes in appetite can be an early sign of dental problems, stress, illness or gut stasis — which can quickly become serious.

Keep an eye on eating habits, droppings and behaviour, and always contact your vet if something feels wrong. Healthy rabbits start with prevention, proper nutrition and regular care.

🦷🐰 Let’s Talk Teeth! 😁🥕

Did you know your rabbit has 28 teeth? That’s a lot of chewing power packed into one fluffy face!

If you’ve been following our Rabbit Awareness Week posts, you might remember that rabbits have open-rooted teeth, meaning they grow continuously throughout their lives. That’s why munching on plenty of hay isn’t just a hobby – it’s a necessity!

🌾 Hay today, healthy teeth tomorrow!

Eating lots of hay and fresh grass naturally wears down your rabbit’s teeth. Without enough fibre in their diet, those teeth can become overgrown, leading to pain, difficulty eating, and other serious health problems.

Some rabbits, particularly flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds, may be more prone to dental disease due to the shape of their skull and jaws.

🦷 Common dental problems include:

🔹 Malocclusion – when the teeth don’t line up correctly. This can be inherited or develop later in life, preventing normal wear and causing further overgrowth

🔹 Overgrown incisors – the front teeth can become so overgrown they dig into the lips, tongue, or even the nose.

🔹 Overgrown molars – the back teeth may develop sharp spikes that cut into the cheeks or tongue and make eating painful.

👀 What should you look out for?

A quick weekly check can help catch problems early. Keep an eye out for:

💧 Drooling which can present as a wet chin, wet chest or wet front paws
👁️ Discharge from the eyes or nose
🦷 Teeth that look uneven or overgrown
⚖️ Weight loss
🥕 Partly chewed or dropped food
🥬 Changes in appetite or food preferences

If your rabbit shows any of these signs, it’s time to book a veterinary appointment.

🥕 Prevention is better than a dental procedure!

The best way to keep those pearly whites in good shape is with the right diet:

🌾 85–90% good-quality hay and fresh grass
🥬 A small amount of fresh leafy greens
🥣 A measured portion of high-fibre rabbit nuggets

🚫 Avoid muesli-style diets and don’t overdo the treats!

Remember – too many nuggets or snacks can mean less hay is eaten, and less hay means less natural tooth wear.

🩺 What happens if my rabbit has dental disease?

Your vet will work to relieve pain, provide hydration and nutritional support if needed, and assess the teeth. Treatment may involve trimming overgrown teeth under anaesthesia.

The good news is that with prompt treatment, many rabbits recover well. However, once a rabbit develops dental disease, they may need ongoing monitoring and future treatment.

💚 Top tip: The sound of a rabbit happily crunching through hay is music to a veterinary professional’s ears! So keep the hay rack full and those little teeth busy – because every bunny deserves something to smile about. 🐇🦷

It’s Day 4 of Rabbit Awareness Week: Feeding Bunnies Better! 🥬🐰

Rabbits love to forage, dig, chew and explore, and food can be a great way to encourage these natural behaviours. Try scattering nuggets through hay, hiding treats in enrichment toys or offering safe forage to keep mealtime’s fun and stimulating.

Feeding shouldn’t just fill tummies, it should keep rabbits mentally and physically active too.

🥕🐰 How much is too much… or is it not enough? 🤔

Welcome back to Rabbit Awareness Week! Today we’re talking about one of the biggest questions bunny owners ask: “Am I feeding my rabbit the right diet?”

Getting it right can feel a bit like finding a carrot in a haystack, but don’t worry we’re here to help! 💚

🌿 Rabbits are strict herbivores

This means they eat plants and vegetation, and in the wild they spend most of their day grazing. Their digestive system is specially designed for a high-fibre diet, which keeps both their tummy and teeth healthy.

An ideal rabbit diet should look something like this:

🌾 85–90% good-quality hay and fresh grass
🥬 5% fresh leafy greens
🥣 5% high-quality rabbit nuggets
💧 Unlimited access to fresh, clean water

🌾 Why is fibre so important?

Think of fibre as your rabbit’s superpower! It helps keep everything moving through the digestive system and supports healthy teeth, which grow continuously throughout their lives.

There are two types of fibre:

➡️ Indigestible fibre

✔️ Keeps the gut moving normally
✔️ Encourages regular eating
✔️ Helps reduce the risk of digestive problems such as gut stasis

➡️ Digestible fibre

✔️ Is fermented in the caecum by beneficial bacteria
✔️ Produces valuable nutrients that rabbits reabsorb by eating their special soft droppings, called caecotrophs (yes – it’s completely normal and an important part of rabbit digestion!)

🥣 Muesli mixes… tasty but tricky!

Many rabbits will pick out their favourite colourful bits from a muesli mix and leave the healthier, fibre-rich pieces behind.

Sound familiar? It’s a bit like a child eating all the chocolate buttons and leaving the vegetables! 🍫🥦

This is called selective feeding, and over time it can lead to nutritional imbalances and dental problems.

Instead, choose a good-quality, high-fibre rabbit nugget alongside unlimited hay. That way, every mouthful is balanced and nutritious.

🐇 Fun Fact: Rabbits love to p**p while they eat. Strange? Maybe. Normal? Absolutely! Hang a hay rack above their litter tray and they'll happily combine lunch with loo time—making litter training much easier (and only slightly less messy!). 😄

💚 Remember…

Hay isn’t just bedding – it’s the most important part of your rabbit’s diet!

If you’re ever unsure whether your bunny is getting the right nutrition, don’t be afraid to ask. Our team is always happy to offer advice and resources to help keep your furry friends healthy, happy, and hopping through life! 🐇✨

☀️🌡️ Extreme Heat in the UK - Keep Your Pets Safe! 🐱🐰🐹

The soaring temperatures this week can be dangerous for our pets. Whether they live indoors or outdoors, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs and other small furries can all struggle to cope with the heat.

🐱 Cats

💧 Make sure fresh water is always available.
🏡 Keep your home cool by closing curtains and creating shaded resting spots.
❄️ Cooling mats or cool tiles can provide a comfortable place to lie.
🚗 Never leave your cat in a parked car, conservatory, or other enclosed space that can quickly overheat.

🐰🐹 Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and other small furries

🏠 Whether they live indoors or outdoors, make sure they have access to a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
🌳 Outdoor enclosures should be positioned in full shade during the hottest parts of the day.
💧 Check water bottles and bowls frequently to ensure they are full and functioning properly.
🧊 Offer wrapped frozen water bottles or cool ceramic tiles for them to rest beside if they choose.
🥬 Fresh, water-rich vegetables can help with hydration as part of a balanced diet, and rabbits should always have unlimited access to hay.

⚠️ Know the signs of heatstroke:
- Rapid or labored breathing
- Lethargy or weakness
- Drooling or excessive salivation
-Loss of appetite
- Confusion or collapse
-Bright red gums

If you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke, move them to a cooler area, offer fresh water, and seek veterinary attention immediately.

💚 Remember: Our pets rely on us to keep them safe. A little extra care during the hot weather can make all the difference and help ensure they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable throughout the heatwave.

24/06/2026

☀️ Extreme Heat Warning!

With temperatures expected to be very high this week, please take extra care to protect your furry family members.

🐶 If your dog needs a walk, aim for early morning and late evening when temperatures are at their coolest. Keep walks short and gentle, stick to shaded areas where possible, and always check the pavement with the back of your hand before heading out. If it feels too hot for you, it's too hot for their paws. On particularly hot days, it's perfectly okay to skip the walk and provide enrichment at home instead.

💧 Ensure fresh, cool water is always available.
🏡 Keep pets indoors or in shaded, well-ventilated areas during the hottest part of the day.
🚗 Never leave your pet in a parked car, even for a few minutes.
🐾 Watch for signs of heatstroke, including excessive panting, excessive drooling, weakness, vomiting, confusion, bright red gums, or collapse, and seek veterinary advice immediately if you're concerned.

Remember that flat-faced breeds, older pets, young pets, overweight pets, and those with underlying health conditions are especially at risk in hot weather.

A little extra caution can make all the difference. Stay safe and help keep your pets happy and healthy this week! ❤️🐶🐱

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."

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."

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.”

19/01/2024

The team at Vets4Pets Cramlington say greyhound Frank was "an absolute gentleman" when he came in for some dental work.

Seven-year-old Frank was brought in by owner Harriet to get rid of some plaque which had built up and to treat a gum inflammation. Veterinary nurse Vicki said: "Frank was a very good boy and left with clean, fresh and sparkly teeth. It's so very important to get your dog's teeth checked and we advise pets to have an annual dental check. Eighty per cent of dogs over the age of three have dental disease. Prevention is much better than cure and regular checks and routine cleaning keep your pet's mouth healthier for longer and can help to prevent extensive extractions later in life. We are always happy to offer advice on maintenance and dental care at home such as teeth brushing or dental supplements."

18/01/2024

Veterinary nurse Mel from Vets4Pets Bristol Longwell Green loves cats so much she's helped the practice make a number of improvements to give cats as stress-free an experience as possible when they're brought in.

Mel, who has an Advanced Certificate in Feline Behaviour for Veterinary Professionals, helped introduce facilities like a separate feline waiting area and cattery and the use of quiet clippers – and the practice now has a silver level certificate for being a cat-friendly clinic. She said: "I love dogs but I'm really a cat person. Cats can be misunderstood which can lead to them having quite a stressful life, so if we can make things easier for them and help people understand what cats need then everyone will be happier.

"As animal lovers there's always more to learn and understand about what makes them happy. Enrichment at the home is important for a happy cat – and as cats are naturally solitary animals if you live in a multi-cat household it's important to understand what they need. The rule is to have a resource per cat, plus one spare. So if you have two cats you should have three feeding stations, three litter trays and three scratch posts spread around the house so they have the opportunity to move around to wherever they want to go. Scratching is as natural a thing for cats to do as going out hunting is, so if they're unable to go out it's about providing the chance for them to behave as naturally as possible."
