I feel a bit silly asking this, but how do you know if your vet is rabbit savvy or not?
I trust my normal vet surgery - they've never failed me yet and they've vaccinated and neutered a fair few rabbits of mine in the past as well as friends. They also treated successfully treated my first rabbit, Peppermint, for sore hocks about 17 years ago (yes I'm old ) and more recently Dexy's EC and Blackavar's stasis episode.
But their OOH is based at the pdsa hospital in Attercliffe, Sheffield. Now whilst they got Blackavar through his stasis episode and he was admitted over night, I do feel with hindsight that I was badly let down with them when I took Dexy to them that awful Sunday morning. I feel that if I knew then what I do now, he'd have made it through and may even be still here with me now.
I also took my friends rabbit (I'm looking after him whilst my friend is on holiday) to the vet on Wednesday as he was sneezing and had a bit of a snotty nose and they wanted to check my records were up to date.... Dexy was still listed even though the OOH vet was supposed to have sent them the details on Monday 12th December 2011. I could understand it that day when they didn't know & I had to call them to cancel his appt for the next day & they asked if I wanted to reschedule. But 864 days later?
So I'd be interested in your thoughts on this. A) what do you if your bunny is ill OOH and you don't have rabbit savvy OOH care available?
B) you have a rabbit savvy vet, but none savvy OOH care.
C) how do you know if your vet and/or OOH vet is rabbit savvy?
