I dont know if they deal with rabbits but the vet that operated on Teddy our Cat was based at Severn Vets:

Brilliant vet called Jock.

Sorry if they dont do rabbits though!
 
Ian Sayers is the vet that has looked after Lynx throughout his respiratory problems and treatment at langford and has been fantastic!
 
Yes, I know Ian Sayers but just wondered if there was anyone else that specialises in orthpaedics, I want to have as many options as possible, thanks for all the suggestions, if anyone knows of anyone else can you please let me know

Sorry if I hijacked your thread.:oops:

What is the orthopaedic problem? Some are able to be dealt with by 'normal' vets (i.e. non-specialist orthopod) in which case a rabbit specialist alone will be sufficient. The more complicated and unique problems that require more radical surgery are better dealt with a combined rabbit and orthopaedic specialism team. I don't know of anyone who specialises in both rabbits and orthopaedic surgery. Your best option would be a referral centre which has both rabbit referral and orthopaedic referral teams who can work together. These are not very common - we and Bristol University have both (not a plug, just trying to show how unusual the combination is!), FHB obviously is a rabbit specialist and her husband is very keen on orthopaedics otherwise I'm not aware of any other similar centres.

Thank you for that, so there seems to be

I just want to go with options as I want to be able to give this bunny the best possible chance, thanks again
 
Not sure if she is a specialist in that field but Frances Harcourt brown in Harrogate?
She treated stew and found her curvature if the spine. She was fab. She said her son was working somewhere down south can't remember where and he is a specialist :)

Yep, already have FHB on the list, thanks
 
All I know Theo is than Ian Saunders and Marie are two of the top bunny vets out there and if anyone can help Lily-Hope I'm sure one of those two can.One of my contis had a damaged foot and one had a damaged cruciate ligament which were both thankfully fixed but all my contis have had abscesses paws,ears,stomach.I now believe this is an illness which these big bunnies carry :(:(:(When I went to langford Ian wasn't there and my girl was being treated for an autoimmune problem,which I tried to tell them wasn't the case and this illness was spreading from bunny to bunny.
I really hope that someone can help you with your beautiful girl xxxxxx
