Overview
The Rabbit Clinic offers first opinion and referral services for all pet and exhibition rabbits.
Vaccination
It is important that rabbits are protected against myxomatosis virus and viral haemorrhagic disease. These are both fatal diseases.
Anaesthesia
Rabbits require special care whilst under anaesthesia. Our team has dedicated monitoring and the latest drug therapy available to minimise the risks associated with anaesthesia.
Critical care
Supportive care of rabbits is important as they can hide disease well and may be quite ill by the time they receive veterinary treatment.
Diagnostic imaging
We have access to the latest imaging techniques including, x rays, ultrasound, CT scanning and MRI.
Endoscopic examination
We have invested in a wide range of miniature endoscopic instruments allowing us to perform a wide range of keyhole procedures in our patients.
Surgery
We have a number of techniques to perform surgery safely in small patients and to minimise blood loss.
Laparoscopy (keyhole surgery)
Laparoscopy otherwise known as Keyhole surgery is becoming increasingly used in veterinary medicine. In rabbits this has a huge benefit in identifying and treating disease early without subjecting the rabbit to major surgery.
