Our sixth episode - with Very Special Guest Jo Hinde, the Blue Cross Vet Nurse of the Year 2014 & RWAF Outreach Officer. In this episode we talk about rabbit savvy vets, how to tell if your rabbit is not well, and what the signs may indicate. We would always advocate that you contact a rabbit savvy vet if your rabbit is ill, but hope that this episode will give you more of an insight into what to look out for and the potential severity of the situation. It is a continuation of our chat with Jo in Episode 5, where we talked about some of the many ways in which rabbit welfare can be improved and raising awareness of these issues. Please note: Always call your vet if the rabbit is ill or not eating, and before syringe feeding your rabbit in case of a blockage.Disclaimer: All views and opinions within All Ears are those of the speaker, and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of any organisation which they may be associated with.
