Rabbit vets that would consult with o/s vets?

Hi everyone

I’m wondering if you could suggest some rabbit vets that you know will consult with other vets looking for help with diagnoses? I’m looking to assist another rabbit owner. I think they gave already asked OS vets themselves but I’m encouraging they have their vet seek other professional opinions instead.

I know Frances Harcourt-Brown is now retired but her website does say other vets can email her for opinions.
Would Richard Saunders be another possibility?

There was also a vet down south that was wonderful some years ago when I suggested a rabbit owner seek their help. He went above and beyond. But I cannot remember his name!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated :)

ETA: I’m reaching out to a rabbit specialist we have here in Australia also.

You could certainly try Richard

Then there is Mark Rowland who may be able to offer some input

Oh Jane! You “look” different :p I recognised your photos in the siggy and it took me a moment. 🙄

Thank you for the quick reply. I will pass on these details. I haven’t yet heard back if this owners vet will be open to doing this as yet. Fingers crossed.

I’m doing a crash course on UK geography 😳. I think the one “down south” was more Southhampton area perhaps? Or maybe that’s where the owner was... my memory is trash, sorry.
