Following the recent admittance of a number of rabbits with gut stasis, a potentially fatal digestion condition if not treated quickly, we’re warning rabbit owners to be aware of the signs.

We’re offering free rabbit health checks with our nurses in support of Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) this June. Key themes of RAW 2017 is the importance of feeding hay and fresh grass to support pet rabbits’ dental, digestive and emotional health, so it’s the perfect time to make sure your bunny is in tip-top health.

Today is a sad day for Calder Vets, as we say goodbye to a very important member of our team. Louis Turner has been with us since 1991 as our resident builder. He’s built practices from the ground up and carried out extensive refurbishment work on all of our 12 practices. As well as being our go-to person for anything DIY related, he has also become a very good friend to all the Calder team and we’re heartbroken to see him go. On his last day with us, we held a small gathering at our Dewsbury Hospital to celebrate his retirement and before he left we had one last job for him… an interview with Hayley.

We are asking our clients to be extra vigilant following recent admissions of cats presenting Acute Renal Failure (ARF).  This condition can have many causes, one of the main ones is ethylene glycol toxicity, which is found in anti-freeze, screen wash, brake fluid, coolants and some kinds of ink.

Ollie was brought in to see us earlier this year as his owner, Emma, was concerned that he was generally under the weather and may have lost a little weight. Ollie was spending a little more time indoors than usual and his coat was not in as good a condition as normal. He was still eating and drinking and going to the toilet normally.

"Norah!!
