Answer
Dear Elizabeth,

Have you checked the vet listings here:

www.rabbit.org/vets

If there is no one listed there yet, then it's possible that we don't have any rabbit folks who have made a recommendation.  If that's the unfortunate case, then you may have to do some searching and detective work on your own.  But there are good ways to do that, too.

First, it's often best to seek a vet who advertises that s/he specializes in "exotics."  The vets labeled "small animal" vets usually specialize only in dogs and cats--and as you already know, dog/cat medicine is completely different from rabbit medicine.

If you can't find a vet listed in your area on the HRS page, then this article will help guide you in finding one:

http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/vet.html

If you do find a good vet, we'd love to know so that we can add him/her to our listings and help other rabbit people near you.

I hope this helps.

Dana
