Rabbit question.. help????

Question

hi I'm getting a new rabbit recently my other passed away ;( and feel really sad with out her so I'm getting a new one, I'm getting one that's already been fixed but what i do need to know is what are the total vet expenses and what i need to do. Do need to get it shots? i know i have to get her nails trimmed and every thing but is there any thing in particular that needs to be done, that's extra?

I hope you get what i mean because i don't know what i didn't do for my old bunny so maybe a list of things for her medical care would do :))

thnx. (sorry this is so long but I'm planning on getting a dwarf rabbit)

Answer 1

The pet shop that I got my rabbit from informed me that she had already been given all of the shots that she would need. My rabbit also has 2 or 3 blue tattoo's in her ear that shows proof of the shots she was given. The only need that you should have to take a rabbit to the vet for is if they come down sick.  

Answer 2

bunny's have to have myxo jab and a VHD jab once a year. my vets cost £18 per jab.

Answer 3

It depends on where you live if they need shots or not.  In the United States, they do not.

I cut my bunnies nails myself, and take him to the vet once a year for a check up.  And of course take them to the vet if they ever get sick or hurt.  

I check my bunny over at least once a month to make sure he doesn't have any strange lumps or wounds or anything like that.  If I find anything amiss, it's off to the vet!

Answer 4

Rabbits rarely need to go to the vet. You don't have to get them shots either. Rabbits are low maintenance for that reason. You can clip the nails yourself. Flip it on its back and use cat nal clippers or even human nail clippers and clip the sharp tip of the nail. You will save TONS of money if you do it all yourself

Answer 5

Rabbits don't really need to get shots.

If you have multiple rabbits, things spread quickly among them, and then they needs shots.
