Ive recently spent a lot of time at my vets and while I do trust them with my cats I am slightly cautious about how rabbit savvy they are...

I have been told about Harcourt Brown in Harrogate who are rabbit specialists but that a good hour from us.

We are halfway between Wakefield and Bradford and Leeds, I currently use Abbey House and as I say I have no major issues but just wonder if theres a local rabbit savvy vet near me.

My local vets for pets are offering £55 for vhd x 1 and mixi x2, then free pancur wormer for a year which seems good. My 2 new rescue buns have just been neutered there but I dont know how good they are.

Thank you.
 
rabbits come under the exotic pet so you need to find a exotic vet as i have just found out, my normal vet wanted to pts my bun but i refused and found a new vet who is a exotic vet and my bun is on the mend

Ooh hello I'm halfway between Wakefield/Leeds too, I've only been to Abbey house once for an emergency (they're closest and are a 24 hour emergency vets which is lucky) and they seemed quite rabbit savvy (although very expensive). If any of your rabbits have ongoing (or serious) health problems/conditions I'd definately go to Harcourt Brown but if it's just for vaccs and health checks I'd stick to your a local one :) I use a different vet everytime mine have to go and all have seemed fine with the rabbits :oops: :lol:
