    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Firstly I'd ask them what surgical proceedures they REGULARLY carry out on Rabbits. Do they use the 'reversable anaesthesia (Domitor/Vetelar-Isoflo (gas) then Antisedan?? Do they use intubation of airway whenever possible during GAs?? Do they have recovery incubators with adequate oxygen therapy?? Do they give pain relief as a matter of routine post invasive surgical proceedures?? What is the in-patient accomadation...can you have a look around it?? Is there a Veterinary Nurse on sight 24/7. If they haven't shot you by this stage... :roll: :roll: .....what is their protocol re referal to more specialist physicians...??What are the 'out-of-hours' emergency arrangements?? You can tell I am trained in interogation skills cant you!! Going back to your other thread re transfer of clinical details from vet-to-vet....Some vets WILL NOT release x-ray plates.....May be relevent re Hagrid...?? Jane and Bunsxx

The actual x-ray plate is the property of the vet who took it. Have absolutely NO IDEA why :roll: :roll: . A new vet would probably want to re x-ray anyway before embarking on further treatment or to assess healing. I do try to keep my interogations on a 'friendly' level but at the end of the day its about the care of our beloved buns and it will be our MONEY that the vet takes. Most good rabbit vets will have no problem with polite questions from a concerned and caring client. Hope you find a vet you can develop a confident relationship with as it makes things so much easier!! Jane and Bunsxx

I make a 'pre-registration appointment' to see a vet. You may be charged a minimal consultation fee but worth it to find a good bunny vet. Most deduct the pre-reg fee if you do actually register with them!! Dont think you should be charged more than a tenner for a pre-reg chat... Jane and Bunsxx
