Vet CareSelecting a VeterinarianChoosing a veterinarian for your pet is often be a difficult task. The following information will give you some useful guidelines when making this important choice. Take the time to find a veterinarian before you need oneIdeally, you should already have a veterinarian as soon as you get a pet. Don’t start looking for one when it’s an emergency. Since rabbits are already considered as exotic pet, you’d be looking for an expert in the field. The best time for a health check-up is right after you’ve purchased your pet or at least within 48 hours of purchase. This will give your veterinarian a chance to see if you indeed have a healthy pet and for you and your pet to establish a working relationship with your veterinarian. Visiting the Veterinary HospitalWhile you are on your first visit, you might as well make some observations that will be vital to your pet’s life.

The Final DecisionUltimately, the decision lies in your hands. You may want an expert to care for your pet but distance may not make it ideal. In such case, a less experienced Vet will do but look for one who’s open to learning and willing to develop your education as a team. And more importantly, you should never be afraid to ask for a second opinion when you are in doubt.
