Expert Rabbit Vet in Hershey, PA

Why Rabbits Need Specialized Veterinary Care

Rabbits are delicate, intelligent animals with unique medical and nutritional needs. Unlike dogs or cats, signs of illness in rabbits can be subtle. That’s why it’s essential to bring your rabbit to a veterinary hospital familiar with small animal care. Our veterinarians are trained to spot early signs of health concerns and provide proactive care for optimal long-term health.

Our Rabbit Veterinary Services

We provide comprehensive services to support your rabbit’s well-being, including:

  • Wellness Exams: Annual checkups help detect issues early and monitor your rabbit’s weight, teeth, and overall health.
  • Nutritional Counseling: We advise on balanced diets to prevent digestive issues and obesity.
  • Dental Care: Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously, so dental exams are critical to avoid overgrowth and pain.
  • Illness & Injury Treatment: From gastrointestinal stasis to respiratory infections, our team is equipped to diagnose and treat common rabbit illnesses.
  • Neutering: Prevent unwanted litters and reduce hormone-related behaviors and health risks.
  • Parasite Control: We provide guidance and treatment for mites, fleas, and other external parasites.

We also offer imaging and referrals for advanced care, if needed, along with gentle handling and fear-free techniques to keep your rabbit calm during visits.

FAQ: Rabbit Vet Hershey

How often should I take my rabbit to the vet?

We recommend at least one annual wellness exam. Older rabbits or those with ongoing conditions may need more frequent visits.

Do you treat other small animals besides rabbits?

Yes. Our veterinary hospital offers care for a variety of pocket pets, including guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, and more.

What signs of illness should I watch for in my rabbit?

Changes in appetite, droppings, posture, or behavior can signal a problem. If your rabbit seems “off,” schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
