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?
