Hi there, thanks for reaching out with your concern. I'm here to help!
When you mention "putting your rabbit under," I assume you're referring to anesthesia for a medical procedure. It's entirely normal to feel concerned about this, as anesthesia can be risky, particularly for rabbits.
The need for anesthesia depends on the procedure. Common reasons include dental work, spaying/neutering, or addressing acute health issues. If anesthesia has already been used recently, and your vet has recommended it again, they likely believe that the benefits outweigh the risks.
Remember, rabbits are more sensitive to anesthesia than other pets. It's crucial your vet is experienced with small animals and has the right equipment and protocols to monitor your rabbit’s vital signs.
At home, keep your rabbit’s stress to a minimum. Ensure its environment is calm, quiet, and familiar. Good nutrition and hydration are also key to recovery after an anesthetic procedure.
Watch for signs like lethargy, loss of appetite, breathing difficulty, or changes in behavior. These can indicate complications and warrant immediate veterinary attention.
To make the best decision for your rabbit, I suggest booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. We can discuss the specifics of your rabbit's situation and help put your mind at ease.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
