Rabbits make wonderful pets. They're generally docile, and can even be litterbox-trained. Reinhard also warns that, contrary to what some people think, rabbits are not necessarily low-maintenance pets. Rabbits also are not without health problems, because every category of pets has its own set of health risks. For rabbits, gastroenteritis, respiratory diseases and ear and eye infections are common concerns.
Hairballs are a problem, too.
VPI' s new Rabbit policy is designed to encourage regular veterinary care and give owners peace of mind, says Reinhard. Early diagnosis of any illness is always better for the pet than if the condition is allowed to worsen. And with the Rabbit policy, the cost for required treatment will be covered.
