Your participation can make a big difference in this project.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why study the impact of firecrackers on rabbits?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<p>Rabbits are particularly vulnerable to noise due to their highly sensitive nervous system. The din of firecrackers and pyrotechnics, so characteristic of the Fallas, can cause them a significant level of stress, affecting not only their emotional well-being, but also their physical health.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to identify stress in rabbits during the Fallas?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>.<br \/>\nRecognising the signs of stress in rabbits is crucial for early action to minimise the impact of firecrackers. Some of the most common symptoms are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Changes in behaviour.<\/strong> Rabbits may be more skittish, hide for long periods or be on constant alert.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accelerated breathing<\/strong>.Stress can manifest itself through gasping or breathing faster than normal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tense body postures<\/strong>. Such as scratching the floor or chewing on the bars of the cage insistently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you notice any of these signs, it is important to take steps to reduce your rabbit&#8217;s stress level and, if they persist, consult a specialised veterinarian.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How can you help with our research?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Our aim with this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment <strong>Gabapetin<\/strong>,  a drug indicated for the <strong>management of stress in rabbits<\/strong> during periods of high noise exposure.<\/p>\n<p>With the information gathered, we will be able to analyse the impact of pyrotechnics on their welfare and determine whether additional measures are needed to improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a rabbit at home and want to participate,<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ethoclinicvalencia.com\/cnj\/\"> click on this link<\/a><\/strong> to complete a short survey.<strong>It will only take you five minutes and your help will be key to our investigation!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Fallas is one of the most emblematic celebrations in Valencia, but the constant noise of firecrackers can have a great impact on animals, especially rabbits, which are extremely sensitive to sound stimuli.
