It’s Day 2 of Rabbit Awareness Week: Feeding Bunnies Better! 🥬🐰

Rabbits are social animals and should live in compatible pairs or groups. A lonely rabbit can become stressed, withdrawn and may even lose interest in food.

Eating together is a natural rabbit behaviour, bonded bunnies often graze side-by-side, forage together and help each other feel safe and secure.

Friendship really can help keep rabbits happier, healthier and eating well.

Head to our website to read more about taking care of rabbits 🐇

It’s Day 1 of Rabbit Awareness Week and we’re kicking off the 20th anniversary campaign: Feeding Bunnies Better! 🎉🐰

Rabbits need plenty of space to hop, stretch, explore and forage naturally. A cramped setup limits movement, impacting their health, wellbeing and make it harder to encourage natural feeding behaviours like grazing on hay throughout the day.

Create a rabbit-friendly space with room to scatter feed, forage and room to roam, because happy homes help create healthy appetites.

Visiting Specialists: Cardiology 🫀
Hannah Stephenson is an RCVS and European specialist in veterinary cardiology and the director of HS cardiology. Hannah and her team of specialists and nurses regularly come for scheduled days at our Winnington practice to perform tests and provide specialist veterinary care.

Heart disease can be congenital (they were born with it), inherited (they got it from their parents’ genes) or acquired (it has developed throughout the pets’ life)

What are the common signs of heart disease?

Exercise intolerance – If your dog is reluctant to exercise or gets out of breath with a small amount of exercise.
Coughing – a new persistent cough
Breathing changes – difficulty breathing or faster breathing. In cats, panting or open mouth breathing is abnormal.
Fainting/collapse – this can happen if the heart disease is severe enough to cause a reduction in delivery of oxygen to the brain.

Head to our website to find out more about Hannah and how we can come to a heart disease diagnosis.

👏🏻 Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month 👏🏻 Please meet Willow, Kobe and Cooper, some of this week’s patients who our nursing team have seen. Each year in May, the British Veterinary Nursing Association (BVNA) runs Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (VNAM). The campaign celebrates what it means to be a veterinary nurse, raising awareness of the significant contributions made my veterinary nurses to animal health and welfare, and that of the public too. This year’s theme is compassion and empathy. At Hollybank vets we always like to celebrate VNAM by writing about our wonderful registered veterinary nurses (RVNs) and showcasing what they do on a day to day basis 🩺💕🩹🐾 please visit our website to read what Ellie and Becky have to say about compassion and empathy as an RVN. www.hollybankvets.co.uk

In Memory of the Bravest Boy, Homer 🖤🪽
Homer was a 16 year old Labrador crossbreed who was rescued by one of our Registered Veterinary Nurses, Aimee and her partner. You may recognise him as a star model from many of our previous posts!
Over the past 10 years, Homer has also helped train many of our student nurses, he’s sat patiently whilst they bandaged him up (as you can see in the photos) and practiced other nursing skills on him, of course in exchange for a gravy bone!
In February this year, Homer’s health took a sudden decline and he started to suffer from seizures. His quality of life was suddenly lost and his parents had to make the very hard decision to put him to sleep.
We were in the process and writing this post about him when he passed away and as he meant a lot to everyone here at Hollybank, it felt right to still tell his story and share it with you all.
Head to our website to read Homer’s full story and how he’s been the bravest boy 🖤

Chemotherapy in Pets 🐾
The ‘Big C’ can be a difficult diagnosis to come to terms with for our pets. The information can be overwhelming at the best of times but particularly after first hearing the news, and following this, discussing multiple options for treatment.
🐶 Meet Harvey - we wanted to highlight wonderful Harvey who is receiving chemotherapy, in the hope he will make the idea of chemotherapy and the decision to undergo it feel a little less daunting for owners and their pets.
Head to our website to read more about chemotherapy, the different types and Harvey’s story 🐶 (link in bio 🔗)
