    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    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. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Anaesthesia and Dentals

Thank you so much, I'm not feeling nearly as stressed out as I was before! I'm much happier knowing rabbits the same age as Kirsty are not only having a dental but multiple of them! That's interesting about them not being put as deeply under as cats/dogs, I wonder if thats a universal thing with all vets or if your vet is just particularly good! I've got some rescue remedy and another rabbit safe brand of calming drops so I'll keep that in mind if ever he does have to have a GA- just incase!

I am thinking of moving vets as whilst our vet does have experience with rabbits, she's not an outright exotic vet. I've contacted the RWAF asking for access to their vet list so I'll see whats in my area.

Thank you again, you've helped me a lot!I hope Bramble is managing ok. :D

Yes I think this is a very good idea :thumb:

I got a lot more clarity on the dental issues my rabbits were facing from a more specialist vet, even though the travelling was greater :D
