Description

As the third most common pet in the UK, rabbit’s have a reputation for being difficult to safely anaesthetise. Whilst peri-anaesthetic mortality rates in rabbits may be higher than their feline or canine counterparts, this does not mean that they cannot be anaesthetised in a safe, stress-reduced manner.

This webinar will take you through all the nuances of rabbit anaesthesia from admit to discharge, and all the ‘scary bits’ in between.
