A rabbit that hasn’t eaten for four hours can be as urgent as a cat that hasn’t eaten for four days, yet many clinics still treat rabbits like small cats. This webinar gives you the practical knowledge to change that.
Jo Hinde starts with rabbit life stages and the anatomy that shapes their care, from their small lung fields to the fusus coli and caecum. You’ll learn exactly how much hay, greens and pellets to feed, how to pick and store hay, why muesli mixes and root vegetables cause problems, and how to read faeces, caecotrophs and urine for early warning signs. Enclosure size, and what goes wrong when it is too small, is covered too.
The second half is all about the clinic: getting the whole team on board, setting up a rabbit-friendly waiting room, biosecurity, handling without trancing, kennel set-up and enrichment, pre-operative fasting, support feeding and analgesia.
What you’ll learn
- Rabbit digestion and how diet keeps the gut moving
- Reading faeces, caecotrophs and urine for early problems
- Housing and enclosure size that meets a rabbit’s needs
