Rabbit is Scotland's forgotten pet
The Scottish SPCA has declared the rabbit Scotland's 'forgotten pet.'
The welfare charity has revealed that the number of unwanted, neglected and mistreated rabbits has rocketed over the last four years.
Last year, 116 rabbits were rescued, with more than 700 saved across the country. Already this year, over 100 rabbits have been cared for since January.
Sharon Comrie, SSPCA Manager, said: "It is very worrying. People don't realise the responsibility of taking on a rabbit. It isn't just a cute wee bunny sitting in a hutch at the bottom of the garden. It's a lot of work involved. You need to handle them every day and also the feeding costs and vet costs if needed so you have a financial impact on there as well."
The RCVS has announced a new version of its 1CPD mobile app, with enhanced features for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to record their continuing professional development.
