Chapters cover basic care, digestive problems, infections, sprains dislocations and fractures, coping with paralysis, dental problems, neurological disease hearing loss blindness cancer etc.
The second part is all alternative medicines.
It is taken from a carers point of view, rather than medical info although it does have basics like giving fluids etc.
It is american so there is a lot on mobility carts for paralysed bunnies.
Its not an expensive book so in my opinion worth the money even if you only pick up a couple of new tips
Sounds interesting. Where can I buy a copy?
Do you have the link to these sites? Ta muchly:wave: i got my special needs bunny book as an xmas pressie..im well impressed...
the section on gi probs is very very good as is the elderbuns section....
the boks aimed at folks with long term sick or disabled bunnies but is also great as a medical reference book.
(i have the bunny health in the 21st century second edition..its very good too.)
theres diagrams about giving injections and even step by step guide and photos about giving subcutfluids. Also a symptoms guide to compare between gut bloackage acute bloat...stasis and dysbosis.
Guides to meds and doses and side effects but be aware you may have to look up uk equivalent of med names but its a great book.
got mine from either amazon, play.com or the book depository..i always compare prices and postage..book depository and play are free..amazon only over £15 is free.
oh and this is one im sending for ill let you know when it gets here

I'd be interested on your opinion on this one. I was going to order it but when I looked inside it seemed a bit basic so have left it for now. It would be great to have an up to date textbook though
The only reservation is that it seems to encourage keeping bunnies alive at all costs eg not euthanasing but there is a lot of good stuff here.
