Rabbits are often thought of as “easy to care for” pets, but their physiology and metabolism are quite unique. They have very specific needs regarding dietary fiber, gastrointestinal motility, tooth wear, ambient temperature, and stress management. Rabbits are naturally good at hiding discomfort, so clinical signs often only become obvious in the later stages of disease. If treatment is delayed, the risks of gastrointestinal stasis, dehydration, and worsening pain increase significantly. If you notice refusal to eat or a clear drop in appetite, fewer stools or smaller pellets, lethargy, crouching and not moving, tooth grinding, abdominal distension, drooling or bad breath, or abnormal breathing, we recommend arranging an assessment as soon as possible to avoid missing the best treatment window. CITYVET provides exotic pet consultations to help owners identify causes, develop appropriate treatment plans, and offer practical guidance on daily diet, housing setup, and health management—so your bunny can maintain a good quality of life with safer, more stable care
