Rabbits 
Health, Husbandry and Diseases

Rabbits are the third most popular pet in the world and the trend
to keep them indoors will make the ‘house rabbit’ the pet of the
next century. Rabbit owners expect and deserve the same standard of
veterinary care for their rabbits as they receive for their cats
and dogs. Devoted entirely to the pet rabbit, this book is a
practical and concise guide to health, husbandry and diseases.

The book begins with an overview of rabbit husbandry.
Nutritional requirements and clinical examination are covered in
chapters 2 and 3. Subsequent chapters then take a body system
approach to describing diseases, their diagnosis and treatment.
There are separate chapters on behaviour, anaesthesia and surgery,
and zoonotic aspects.

This practical, quick-reference guide will appeal to
veterinarians, veterinary students, veterinary nurses and breeders
alike.
