🦋Today is Butterfly Education and Awareness Day🦋
BEAD for short, is an annual event organised by the Association for Butterflies (AFD) to raise awareness about the importance of butterfly conservation.
We can all help with butterfly conservation by doing the following
🎋Plant wildflowers - long grass, wildflowers and nettles are great for butterflies and caterpillars.
🌺Plant other nectar-rich flowers - such as Buddleia, Red Valerian or Verbena
☀️Use the sun - plant flowers and place rocks or large stones in sunny corners to encourage basking

Fun Friday Fact!

Did you know that domestic cats share 95.6% of their DNA with Tigers? That's not all they have in common. They also have similar body shapes, are obligate carnivores, like to scent mark their territories, prefer to live on their own and love boxes!

Flystrike is also called ‘myiasis’. It happens when flies lay their eggs on your rabbit, and those eggs hatch out into maggots. Maggots from blowflies: bluebottles and green bottles, are the most dangerous. They can eat into your rabbit’s flesh within 24 hours which can cause death in a very short time.
Prevention is better than cure:
🐰Check your bunny's bottom daily and clean if necessary
🐰Keep the bunny's environment clean by removing dirty litter and bedding. Flies are attracted to these.
🐰 Make sure your rabbits weight is ok. Obese rabbits cannot clean themselves properly.
-🐰If your rabbit appears to have urinary problems or is arthritic make sure it sees a vet for diagnosis and treatment.
Flystrike is classed as an emergency as the rabbit can go into shock. It can be fatal if not treated quickly enough. As we are experiencing very warm weather it is essential that you check your rabbits for signs of maggots.
If you are worried your rabbit may be affected don't hesitate to call the surgery for further advice/treatment.

Although most of us know that eating mouldy leftovers is really not a good idea, the same cannot be said about our pets, especially dogs, who love to eat what they shouldn’t.
Food leftovers decomposing inside our rubbish bins provide the perfect conditions for the development of different types of fungi. Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. often grow over foods such as bread, cheese, pasta, walnuts, and other decomposing organic matter, produce substances which are very toxic if ingested by our pets.
Affected animals will present vomiting, abdominal pain, liver damage, muscle tremors, uncoordinated movements, seizures, an elevated temperature and this type of poisoning can be fatal.
Ingesting a small amount is enough to cause severe illness and simply licking some leftovers from an unwashed waste caddy can have serious consequences. Keep any potentially dangerous leftovers away from your pet during your daily recycling routines and if notice any of the previously mentioned signs on your pet, bring him in immediately. Positive outcomes are far more likely with early treatment.
