I think you have hit the nail on the head there. you had a bad experience so now mistrust every vet except your own. But it goes without saying nearly everyone of us has a different vet to you and realistically that doesn't mean they are always getting bad treatment. May be it's time to try to let go of the past and see all the amazing things vets are doing for different rabbits on this forum. There are some amazing and dedicated vets out there who do try their very best for their bunny patients.of course there will be bad vets too but coming on and ranting to use your own words to people who are worried about their sick rabbit isn't the most constructive way to help a situation. I understand you had a bad experience in the past and it still hurts you but that doesn't mean vets aren't generally doing a good job . I'm not referring to this particularly thread as the owner is now seeing a different vet and hopefully things will get sorted.
Oh and no where did I call you an idiot
You just seem like someone who is still really hurting and that means maybe you can't always give the most objective advice xx[/QU
That could well be the case, but then again even the bad experiences are still very much learning curves, and so we still take something positive away from them. I wouldn't say I'm not able to give objective advice, but I can pass on what I personally learnt from the event, which may be applicable to the OP or not.
I'm certainly not meaning to imply that all vets other than my own give bad treatment, because that is not the case at all, but in general, no one will ever convince me that the mandatory half a days training out of their 5 years in total, does actually send vets out fully equipped to deal with bunny illnesses in general. Unfortunately the number of vets that do develop a real passion for rabbits and go on to specialise in them, are very much in the minority, and I think it is just good idea that bunny owners remain very mindful of that.
