Providing The Best Veterinary Care For Your Pet Rabbit

Keeping rabbits healthy takes more than the occasional carrot – it takes years of accumulated knowledge, experience and skill. Furthermore, it takes a rabbit vet with a real grip on all things bunny-related. As with all creatures, rabbits exhibit behaviours that are specific to just them, our long-eared, furry friends.

Did You Know?

In their natural setting rabbits are prey, hence their instinct is usually to hide any symptoms or signs of illness. Noticing even a slight change in behaviour can make all the difference to your rabbit’s wellbeing. The faster a problem is recognised, the quicker the right medication or treatment can be prescribed.

Why Choose The Unusual Pet Vets?

The Unusual Pet Vets is an experienced team of veterinarians that provide advanced pet rabbit care. Part of our committed service is our regular check-ups where we take a close look at your rabbit’s ears, eyes, teeth, and gut to make sure your rabbit is in good health.

Our clinics offer a wide range of services to ensure that your rabbit enjoys a long, healthy life.

Our dedicated rabbit vets are committed to helping you create the perfect home conditions for your pet bunny. Concerning the eating habits of your rabbit, we offer comprehensive information on which green treats and vegetables will become their favourites. We like to share all the little titbits on pet rabbit care that often pass most of us by – including some of the little gestures your rabbit makes to communicate with you. After all, the better you know your bunny the better your relationship will be.

Our veterinarians all have special interests and experience with exotic and unusual pets, especially rabbits.

Patient Story

Harry, a two-year-old bunny was presented to our Balcatta team after his owners reported that he was quieter in himself and didn’t appear to have much of an appetite.

On examination we discovered that Harry was suffering from gastrointestinal (GI) stasis, a condition in which the digestive system slows down considerably. We see this condition a lot in our patients and there is generally an underlying cause. In Harry’s case, we found a dental spur (a sharp point on one of his teeth) that was making him very uncomfortable.

Harry was stabilised then anaesthetised so that we could perform a dental float to correct back the spur that had developed and any remaining abnormalities that were present. Harry was an absolute legend and an hour after his procedure he was eating normally and back to his happy, healthy self.

Excellent Service, Caring and Professional Advice

Excellent service, caring and professional advice, and very good handling for our pet bird, on our first visit today at The Unusual Pet Vets, Jindalee. Very helpful, and they also provided further reading for us via email after our appointment regarding a few things we asked about. All staff were lovely and friendly – from the initial phone booking (you can do internet bookings too) to and including the consult. Thank you very much – we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.

Received the Best Service

Received the best service from Dr Sasha at the Sunshine Coast clinic. She taught me so much in such a kind manner and was very gentle to my Guinea pig. She then followed up by emailing further information on Guinea pig general care. Highly recommend!
