Hi ya
Just brought my bunny home tonight, Rebel, he's lovely (but I'm biased lol), so calm and just potters about and does this cute teddy bear pose :love:
He is 6months old and I have a recommendation for a vet, and I know that I need a -Myxomatosis and a -VHD injection, plus i'll be getting him neutered (had to have a debate with my boyfriend on how its actually better for the bunny lol)
But is there any thing I should ask the vet to check or anything at all I should be making sure I'm doing.
I know its probably simply a case of booking him in and the vet will know what to do, but I like to be prepared, and I'd like him to live a very long time, so i'm doing the whole bunny mam thing :D

Thanks
Tam
 
I think you know everything already by the sounds of it :) The injections are the main thing :) The vet should give your bunny a good health check before he gives him his first injection, this will be myxi :) The VHD will then be 2 weeks after (but i guess you already know this) :oops:

The vet should check his teeth also :) xXx
 
:wave:
100% get him neutered, he and you will have a better life, and you could get him a wife bun in the future.

Some of the questions you need to ask the vet are how many buns do you neuter a week, and how many have you lost?. I called one and they said about 2 a month, called the one we are with (and always will be) and they said about 5 a week with no problems!.

I just wanted to add that it really, really helps having a bunny savvy vet and unfortunatley not all vets are.
