This user-friendly book on pet rabbit health from a caretaker''s
perspective is written for people with little or no medical or
veterinary background. Its goal is to help rabbit owners play a
more active, informed role in their rabbit''s health care
decisions. It should never substitute for a trip to the
veterinarian!
The book''s predecessor, Rabbit Health 101, received a
favorable review in Exotic DVM Veterinary Magazine. The
revised edition incorporates feedback from veterinarians across the
country and includes the latest information for the new
millennium.
Topics include:
- Choosing and establishing a relationship with a
veterinarian
- Symptoms and safe treatment options for a variety of
conditions
- Diagnostic tests and how to understand what they tell your
veterinarian
- Drugs (prescription, over the counter, and supplements)
- Alternative medicine
- Coping with loss
- Resources and references
Stories and pictures of rabbits from around the world are
sprinkled throughout the book, adding personal touches to serious
topics. By the time you have read the entire book you will feel
that you know Smokey, who inspired the original Rabbit Health
101, and Murray, who contributed so much to this most recent
update.
