The Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic

The Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic The Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic was established to provide veterinary care specifically tailored to the unique requirements of cats, rabbits and small mammals.

Excluding dogs from our practice enables us to provide a more quiet, less odorous, stress free environment for our patients and their owners. Many of our staff (including both of our vets) have worked within the practice since it first opened its doors to patients in June of 2000. We therefore have over many years of practical day to day experience treating cats, rabbits, guinea-pigs and other small mammals in this setting.

HEATWAVE WARNING⚠️

If you have a tiled or slate floor, make some room for your snoozing pets. Cats, dogs, even rabbits and guinea pigs will appreciate having something cool to lie on. Make it an even better space to ‘chill’ in by adding an electric fan to circulate cool air during those long Summer days!

Stay safe and enjoy the weather ❤

Look out for cats in the heat - Sheds, Greenhouses, Summerhouses 👀

During the hotter months, cats can find their way into a nice and cosy area like sheds and greenhouses. However, they can become trapped, too warm and then dehydrated.

Please always check these places for unexpected visitors before locking them up.

⚠️🐱 CALLING ALL CAT OWNERS 🐱⚠️

Cats with white ears and noses burn easily and you should apply animal-specific (important) sunscreen and should ideally keep cats inside for the hottest part of the day. 🥵

Looking after your small furries in the heat

Small furries suffer heatstroke easily and we must take steps to prevent this ☀️

🐇 Move housing into the shade or bring them indoors in a different cage/hutch
🐇 Keep them hydrated throughout the day with shallow bowls of fresh water and forage for them to munch.
🐇 A damp towel placed over the housing can also provide shade and help with cooling.
🐇 Ensure good levels of ventilation so air can flow freely.
🐇 Replenishing the hutch with fresh, fluffy piles of hay, as this will allow your rabbits to burrow inside and keep cool.

A reminder for rabbit owners about RHD2 vaccination 🐰

RHD2 remains a serious threat to pet rabbits. The virus is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact, contaminated items, insects, and other indirect routes.

Because the disease can progress rapidly and is frequently fatal, prevention is especially important. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to help protect rabbits.

The Nobivac Myxo-RHD PLUS vaccine is still essential to protect against Myxomatosis and other strains of RHD. However, it is not licenced to protect against the newer, more virulent strain of RHD2.

Luckily the new Yurvac is designed to provide protection against the newer, more virulent strains of RHD2.

There should be a gap of two weeks between the two vaccines. Please give us a call to book your rabbit in to ensure they have the best protection possible 🐰
