Reasons for a Rabbit Savy Vet!

Rabbits should always have an annual exam, which will help detect problems early.

Why:  Not all vets treat rabbits. Not all vets that treat rabbits KNOW rabbits! Many vets are trained in cat and dog medicine and often do not know enough about rabbits to medically treat them properly. 

When: It is always a good idea to find a vet you feel comfortable with BEFORE you have an emergency.  Rabbits should always have an annual exam which can help detect problems early.  

How:   We offer some recommended vets here.  You might also want to check www.vetratingz.com. Next check the yellow pages for veterinarians who advertise as "exotic" (includes, rabbits & rodents). The next step is to phone the vet. Let the front office person know that you are concerned with finding the very best veterinarian to care for your rabbit and that you would like to speak directly to the doctor at his/her convenience. Leave both your work and home phone number and specific times that the veterinarian can get hold of you or ask what would be a good time for you to call back (when the veterinarian is between appointments).

Emergencies:

You need to be prepared for emergency situations at night and on weekends, when your regular vet might not be at the clinic. This preparation starts with your regular veterinarian. What are the days and hours of operation? Some veterinarians keep extended hours on certain weekdays. Does your veterinarian refer to a certain emergency clinic? If your veterinarian works with many non-traditional animal species he/she will probably know which emergency facility in your area also treats these animals.

 If your will have to go to another location with an out-of-hours rabbit emergency, have the name, address, phone number and directions posted prominently in your house. Make a trial run by driving to the facility at least once so you have an approximate idea of how long it will take you.

 

Ask lots of questions! Some guidelines:
 

* How many rabbits are seen each week? Rabbits should make up a reasonable size of their practice (ie at least 10%)                                                                      

* How many rabbits are spayed/neutered each week 

* Do they fast rabbits before surgery (answer should be NO!)                                                                             

* Do they know what drugs are dangerous for rabbits? (IE Amoxicillin, Penicillin - unless it is injectible).

* What type of gas anesthetic do they use? (isoflurane is the only safe bunny gas)

* Have you lost any rabbits during routine surgeries?

* How would you treat a hairball (surgery should be the very very last alternative)

* Are there other veterinarians in the practice that can treat your rabbit in case the primary vet is not available?  And if not, then to who do they refer these cases?

* Does the vet refer difficult cases to anyone else?

 

* How does the vet check molars? (With an otoscope of videoscope are the only acceptable answer. Visual inspection is not enough)

* Can you briefly meet with the vet prior to your first pet visit and/or have a brief tour of the hospital?
