Scary news for UK rabbits. We have the new vaccines in stock to protect against the new highly virulent strain of VHD, so if your rabbit isn't protected yet do get in touch.

We are sad to report that we have had a confirmed fatal case of VHD in a rabbit who had been vaccinated with the standard triple rabbit vaccine. We are currently aware of another six suspected cases locally that are awaiting confirmatory results, of which all had been given the standard vaccination. Please, please be vigilant and we strongly recommend using the new VHD vaccination to protect rabbits as best we can in the face of an impending outbreak. We are very happy to discuss vaccination with other vets as there has sadly been widespread misinformation on the reliability of the standard vaccine which has lead to many practices opting not to provide the new vaccination.

It's Day 2 of Rabbit Awareness Week!

Rabbit's need a minimum area of 3m x 2m x 1m for a pair of rabbits to ensure they can express natural behaviours.
Here are Gemma and Josh displaying what this looks like, unfortunately many pet rabbits live in spaces that are far too small for their physical and emotional needs.

Here at PAW we recommend offering your parrot a diet consisting of 80% high quality pellets and 20% fresh produce.

This is what our avian vets are advising parrot owners to feed.

However, with research, a healthy, balanced diet can be created using fresh produce, pulses, grains and nuts.

However you are feeding your parrot, it is important to monitor their food intake and weight to ensure they are eating what you are offering- especially during the diet transition period.
