It is good to go see a veterinarian about every six months. This is a good time for you to ask any questions about your rabbit's behavior, housing, etc.When you take your rabbit to the veterinarian for a physical you will be asked some questions. It is good to prepare in advance, so here is a list of some questions the vet might ask:
- How long have you had your rabbit?
- How old is he/ she?
- Is your rabbit spayed/neutered?
-Does your rabbit live inside or outside?
- How much are you able to exercise your rabbit?
-(If there is a problem) When did you first notice it?
- Does your rabbit appear uncomfortable or in any kind of pain?
- What ( if anything) have you done to treat the problem?
-When did he/ she last eat or drink?
- Have there been any changes in diet, environment, etc?
-Does your rabbit have normal stool ( not constipation or diarrhea) ?
- Do you have any other animals at home? How many and what kind? Are their problems similar to your rabbit's?
- What do you feed your rabbit ( including treats) ?
-What is your rabbit housed in and with how many?
-Has your rabbit been exposed to sick pets or chemicals?
- Where did you obtain your rabbit?
-(If your rabbit is female) Is your rabbit pregnant or when she produce her last litter?
- Add any other findings.
