🐰 Starting Life on the Right Paw! 💚🩺

This little bunny recently visited us for their first General Health Check and rabbit vaccination at just 10 weeks of age. At only half a kilogram, they may be tiny now, but they are already on the path to a long and healthy life! 🐇✨

Their owner wanted to make sure they were doing everything right from the very beginning and booked in for a health check with one of our rabbit-savvy veterinarians. During the consultation, we discussed diet, housing, enrichment, preventative healthcare, and all the important steps that help rabbits thrive. 🌿

As part of their visit, we also identified that this little bun had coccidia, a common parasitic infection often seen in young rabbits. Thankfully, it was detected early, treated promptly, and had completely resolved by their recheck appointment. ✅

One of the biggest challenges for new rabbit owners is sorting through the huge amount of information available online. While there are some fantastic rabbit resources out there, there is also a lot of outdated, misleading, and sometimes dangerous advice circulating on social media, forums, and websites.

🐾 That's why establishing a relationship with a rabbit-savvy veterinarian from a young age is so important. Regular rabbit health checks allow us to answer your questions, provide evidence-based advice, and identify potential health concerns before they become serious problems. The habits and healthcare decisions made during a rabbit's first few months of life can have a significant impact on their long-term health and wellbeing.

This little bunny is already off to a fantastic start and will be back to see us for their pre-desexing health check at 4 months of age. 🩷

Because when it comes to rabbit care, getting the right information early can make all the difference.
