You're absolutely right. Find another vet they're obviously not quite rabbit savvy enough

I think it depends what the circumstances are. For example, if one is admitted with stasis and the vets needs to monitor output, then rabbits may not be able to stay together and if there is not space for the other bunny, then they may have to be separated.
So I don't think it's cut and dried, but it is worth a conversation with the vet about why.
Equally, 95% of the time, it's appropriate for the bunnies to stay together.
Ok I won't take them both and just ask why they have said I can't take him! I hope they don't fret too much
Is it just for a routine appointment? Or for admitting or something else?
He isn't eating or doing much at all so I wanted him seeing today
This :thumb: I took all 4 of my quad along when only 2 needed their injections, the vet didn't bat an eyelid :thumb:
I took my trio when one needed an operation :thumb:. They definitely should stay together.
ETA - just realised it's for possible stasis. In that case, others are right and they will need to separate temporarily to monitor input and output.
Hi I didn't have time to read your replies before I had to leave. I took him on his own, he was fine whilst there actually said he was the most well behaved rabbit she had ever seen!
I told her I was disappointed about not being allowed to bring the other but she didn't really say much!
He is on pain killers and I've got to take him back tues to see if is has eaten! How on earth do I tell if he has eaten when the other one scoffs?!
Said something about his right tooth?! Didn't really understand at all tbh and I had children with me said his tummy was full! 195kg and seemed healthy!
She will make a discussion tues if to use anesthetic? But they don't like to as rabbits don't cope well with it!He is back with his partner in crime now and all seems fine
Now the first bit you asked about a rabbit being separated could be explained - the bit above bolded rings major alarm bells for me - if a vet doesn't like to use anaesthetic with rabbits because they don't cope well??? Whoa, this vet isn't confident with rabbits... which also suggests they aren't very experienced with rabbits.
