Ask your veterinarian about the common signs of feline illness.

- Behavioral CounselingYou should make sure that you are purchasing a healthy bunny. It is best to select a young bunny. He should have clear eyes and a nose free of any mucus. The bunny should be curious and friendly. Check to see the bunny has been spayed or neutered. Most are breeders and pet stores do not alter their pets. You will want to have your new friend spayed or neutered between 4 and 6 months age. An altered pet will reduce the risk of that famous bunny reproduction and will prevent certain health and behavioral problems.

Bunnies do, however, require vaccines in the United Kingdom. They always need annual check ups and fecal tests for parasites.

When I sit down and thoroughly read the history I find out that this patients had been coming in for this same complaint two or three times a year, for years. Every Time it was treated appropriately but then nothing. Nobody would dig deeper to find out what caused it and then take steps to avoid it. Even my own doctors would treat me the same.
