Your Rabbit Deserves the Best
Rabbits aren’t just small dogs or cats—they have unique health needs that require specialized veterinary knowledge. Our team has extensive training and experience in rabbit care, and we’re here to help your bunny live a long, healthy, hoppy life.
Why Rabbits Need Expert Veterinary Care
Rabbits are instinctual experts at hiding illness. By the time symptoms are obvious, a health issue may already be serious. That’s why regular wellness exams with a vet who understands rabbit physiology are so important.
Common Rabbit Health Concerns
Rabbits face unique health challenges. Dental disease is extremely common—their teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, and improper diet or genetics can lead to painful overgrowth and malocclusion. GI stasis, a potentially life-threatening slowdown of the digestive system, can happen quickly and requires immediate attention. We can also help with respiratory infections, abscesses, parasites, and reproductive issues in unaltered rabbits.
What Makes Rabbit Care Different
Rabbits require different handling techniques, specialized anesthesia protocols, and species-specific treatments. Their high-fiber diet, sensitive digestive systems, and unique dental structure mean standard dog and cat approaches simply don’t work. Our team stays current on the latest advances in rabbit medicine to provide the best possible care.
Preventative Care is Key
Regular wellness exams let us catch problems early, before they become emergencies. We’ll assess your rabbit’s teeth, weight, and overall condition, and provide guidance on proper diet, housing, and enrichment. We also recommend spaying or neutering to prevent reproductive cancers and improve quality of life.
Whether your rabbit needs a routine checkup, dental care, or treatment for an illness, you can trust our experienced team to provide compassionate, knowledgeable care.
