They can't tell you when it hurts. But we can.

You know your pet best. But their pain isn't always visible - especially in their joints. In fact, they're experts at hiding it.

That's why we're making it easier to spot the signs your pet might be hiding, with a FREE Mobility Pain Check.

Meet Thumper! 🐰

Thumper came in to see our team at Medivet Woodstock after his owners noticed he wasn’t eating as usual.
Rabbits can be very good at hiding when something’s wrong, so changes in their appetite or behaviour are always worth checking. Our vets gave him a thorough examination to help get him back on track.

Meet the gorgeous Willow, this week’s superstar at Dogwood Referrals! 💖

Willow had a rare condition called Pes Varus, causing her leg to bend inward, something we occasionally see in dachshunds 🐶.

Working with Fusion Implants, we used custom-made guides to plan and perform surgery that straightened her leg with precision.
She’s now healing brilliantly and already back to her cheeky self! 💪💕

✨ Swipe to see her transformation!

Leave Willow some love in the comments!

Happy Easter to all our clients and their fur babies 🐰 🐣 ###

Thinking of an Easter Bunny for your child this year?

For those who own bunnies it is clear that they are NOT easy children's starter pets.

It could be this illusion that means that despite being a popular pet, their basic needs such as companionship, veterinary treatment or preventative care, diet and husbandry often aren't adequately provided.

So let's briefly cover some important rabbit topics.

🐰 Our life span can be 10+ years - is your child going to remain interested for that long and if not, are you willing to still care for the rabbit?

🐰 Rabbits dietary needs often aren't well met - their teeth and gastrointestinal system can experience issues if we don't provide the correct diet. We need majority grass and excellent quality hay. Some leafty greens, herbs and vegetables and a small amount of good quality pellets. We do not need excessive fruits or root vegetables like carrots.

🐰 Studies have shown we are better with companions, the best combination being a neutered female and neutered male. Two entire males (not castrated) will likely fight, two females may also fight when they are hormonal and have a extremely large chance of getting uterine cancer if you do not neuter - are you prepared to neuter two bunnies?

🐰 Rabbits need vaccination each year for myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease 1 and 2 (and maybe even another for new strains if your practice can source them). They also may require preventative care like fly strike protection and their veterinary care is often complex - are you financially prepared for this responsibility for 10+ years?

🐰 Rabbits categorically cannot be kept in a small hutch - it is mentally and physically damaging to their health - they require a very large and safe accomodation. Have you got the means to provide this?

There are over 900 000 pet rabbits in the UK, 48% live alone, 50% haven't received their boosters, 22% of new rabbit owners find it stressful, 33% haven't been neutered. PDSA Paws Report. Rescues are inundated with rabbits - please do not add to this burden and research first
