Histoire Naturelle, by Benard, 1789

 

 

Welcome to MediRabbit 

 

 

The popularity of rabbits as pets has tremendously increased over the last years. This led to increased demands for qualitative information on medical issues related to rabbits. Finding this information revealed much more difficult than expected. Indeed, till the beginning of the 1990’se, information about rabbit medicine was barely available and treatments often relied on the combined experience of breeders and veterinary practitioners. Fortunately, much knowledge has been gathered since, and specific rabbit medicine books have been published. New ways of treatment are regularly discovered and shared among veterinary professionals.

Rabbit medicine is definitively a fascinating topic and this site aims at distributing the gathered knowledge: description of diseases, of the clinical signs of a specific health trouble, how to diagnose and treat the problem without endangering the life of the rabbit, etc.

Rabbit medicine covers a vast domain of topics. With time, more subjects will be added to this site. In order to illustrate the diseases, MediRabbit.com is looking for pictures of rabbit diseases, pictures of diseased rabbits, X-rays, scans, microscopy, etc.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, so do not hesitate to contact me.

Information found in these pages can be printed for personal use or for presentation to your veterinary professional practitioner in order to discuss the issue with him. See Copyright
