Description
Rabbits are commonly seen at veterinary practices, but as a prey species their needs are very different to that of predator species. Rabbits are easily stressed, and the detrimental effects this can have on them must not be underestimated. From travelling to the practice, waiting in reception, a physical examination and consultation, right through to hospitalisation and surgery - everything that we do to rabbits whilst they are within a veterinary practice induces some degree of stress. However, there are many ways in which was can help to reduce this, making the experience more pleasant for the rabbit, owner and veterinary professionals.
