Do rabbits need a special vet?
Yes. Rabbits are treated as exotic pets, and their care — from dental problems to safe anesthesia — needs a veterinarian with specific rabbit training and experience, not just any practice. Find one before you need one: rabbits are prey animals that hide illness until it is serious, so choosing a rabbit-savvy vet and a nearby emergency option ahead of time is part of basic care.
