Rabbit Awareness Week
Rabbit Awareness Week is fast approaching

This year's Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) is taking place on Monday 15 to Monday 22 September.

The annual event has been created in order to raise awareness of the welfare needs of rabbits. Being the third most popular pet - firmly behind cats and dogs - it is important that owners are well-informed and able to give the best care.

During RAW, experts including vets, pet retailers, welfare charities and manufacturers dedicate their time to educating the public about rabbits, dispelling common myths and misinformation about the species.

Various veterinary practices nationwide also offer free health clinics for local rabbits throughout the week.

Official partners of RAW include Panacur Rabbit, The Peoples Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) and Rabbit Welfare Association, amongst numerous other organisations. Together they promote the five rabbit welfare needs: environment, diet, behaviour, companionship and health.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
