Please don’t put your rabbits on their back 🚫

We’ve seen a rise in photos and videos showing rabbits lying on their backs with captions like “they love this!” - but the truth is, they don’t.

This position is called tonic immobility or “trancing.” It’s not cute or relaxing, it’s a fear response. If your rabbits choose to flop like that themselves, then that’s absolutely fine but when forced onto their back, rabbits may appear calm, but they’re actually frozen in panic, waiting for danger to pass.

🚫 Trancing is not safe. It causes high stress and spikes in heart rate.

🚫 It's not a natural or harmless way to calm your rabbit.

🚫 Repeated trancing can damage the bond of trust between you and your bunny.

Please be kind. Learn more and help us spread awareness: https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/trancing/

We’re saddened to share that a deceased ginger and white cat has been brought into the practice.

He was found on the A6 roundabout, near Market Harborough. Unfortunately, the cat was not microchipped, so we’ve been unable to identify the owner.

If you believe this may be your pet, please contact us on 01858462839.

We understand how heartbreaking this news may be and send our deepest sympathies to anyone affected.

Pictured: Chris Sherwood, nominated for Veterinary Surgeon of the Year!

Chris works at Ash Tree Vets as a general practice vet, handling both medical investigations and surgery.

He shares: “I’ve found myself drawn to surgery over the years. Any caring surgeon will feel the weight of responsibility during demanding procedures, but it’s all worth it when your patient is cured and you can think, ‘I did that.’”
💜💜💜

Let’s celebrate the incredible dedication of veterinary professionals who go above and beyond for our beloved animals.
