There's not much different for the care of mini lops compared to other rabbits besides the fact that they're more prone to ear and dental issues. Rabbits shouldn't be in cages, so an exercise pen would be the ideal indoor housing. Harness depends on the individual rabbit, some hate it, some are fine with it. Harnesses come with their own risks so familiarize yourself with that. [Rabbit.org](https://Rabbit.org) is where I would go for care info for rabbits. Hope you find your perfect bunny match! Good on you for adopting from a rescue!

I don't know if he'll come to Richmond, but likely. He euthanized my cat for me in Oakland at my home. He works on all kinds of critters. He was kind and thoughtful. http://www.housecallofthewild.com/

No women vets, but Dr. Han and Dr. Ahn at Richmond Vet Hosp do home visits.

We used Rainbow bridge several years ago. http://www.rainbowbridgevet.com/index.html

Hi Lauren, No one is better than Shea Cox, DVM, CVPP, CPLP with Bridge Veterinary Services In-home pet hospice and end of life services, bridgevs.com I just went through this & my guy is in our Point Isabel Memory Book now. ;-(

Doctor Grant, at Codernices Vet. Everyone I've met chants his praise. I am re-beaming the community warmest wishes at you that have sustained me and Luke-dog...... I've been love-bombed, and it helped me a LOT!. Forgive my caps, but this is a tough time.

Shea Cox came to our house and was awesome with us AND our dog, Emmett. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

I'm pretty picky, being an animal control officer who does euthanasia myself, but my vet, Dr. Brent Martin, of the Oakland Hills, is a fulltime housecall vet who is WONDERFUL. He's now euthanized four family members of mine (2 cats, 2 dogs) at home, and you could not ask for a more compassionate, more straightforward bedside manner for both animal AND human. <3 925-746-2676 -- and here's a plug from the East Bay Express. http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/most-reasonable-veterinary-services/BestOf?oid=1167204

We recently used Shea Cox from Bridge Veterinary Services for hospice and euthanasia. They are based out of University Ave in Berkeley. They were expensive but Shea was very sensitive and kind.

Bridge Veterinary specializes in in-home hospice care and home euthanasia. They have a few vets on staff now and I believe at least one is female. They have a FB page. I'm so sorry about your baby.

I highly recommend Dr. Han and Dr. Ahn. We take our dogs there for office visits, and they're two of the most compassionate and friendly vets we've ever met.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know what you are going through. Give Dr. Tina Faulkner a call. She helped me with my goat in Oakland, was very kind, and I'm pretty certain she'll travel to the Berkeley side of the maze. https://www.facebook.com/EastBayMobileCountryVet

We contacted "Rainbow Bridge" four years ago when our senior dog, then almost eighteen, could no longer rise to his feet, and moaned all night long. I can't recall the vet's name, but he could not have been more tactful and compassionate. Our old dog *hated* vet visits, and we did not want him distressed at life's end. Doctor Dogvorkian injected him with a soporific, and he went peacefully to sleep while we stroked his head. Once he was asleep, a second injection stopped his heart. I can scarcely recount this without tearing up, but I strongly recommend a housecall at the end.

What did you take him to the vet for? You can try offering cold wet vegetables - your rabbit can get hydration that way instead if he still wants to eat.

Check out the [Rabbit.org Rabbit-Savvy Vet List](https://rabbit.org/vet-listings/).

Dehydration is a major cause of GI stasis, so you need to monitor closely. Do what you can to keep his system moving. Wet vegetables are good way to get some fluids in him. You can also give him some Pedialyte diluted with water. If he stops eating for more than a few hours, stops pooping, shows signs of lethargy, then I would get him to the vet. https://rabbit.org/gastrointestinal-stasis-the-silent-killer-2/

Not uncommon for trips to the vet to spark gi issues especially if you have more nervous bunny that has no bunny companions. Rabbits are very good at helping each other recover quickly from stressful situations. All you can really do is place your bunny in the spot he likes to hide in, usually his hidey hole. Offer him his favorite green veggies and see if you can get him to start eating again. Can even offer apple juice /water mixture. Basically you need to get him out of a state of shock which normally revolves around getting them to focus of feeding again.

I like Jenny's idea, but here's a link to the House Rabbit Society's vet listings page: http://rabbit.org/vet-listings/

Dr Hughes in Palm Harbor is quite good and reasonably priced

Dr. Zellner at Avian & Animal Hospital in Largo is excellent, too, but a little pricier than Dr. Hughes.

Hi Tracey, So very sorry for your loss. I am sure your rabbit is in much grief after losing her sister. I would recommend checking out Gainesville Rabbit Rescue (They have area chapters closer to you such as Orlando) and would be able to help find a bondmate. Here are their contacts: http://www.gainesvillerabbitrescue.org/new/contact-us/ Also, here is some information on the process of bereavement in rabbits: http://www.rabbit.org/journal/2-1/loss-support.html -- Please let me know if this information if helpful, if not can refer other resources. Again, very sorry for your loss!

got to: rabbit.org

I tried the name on her, didn't get much of a reaction -- but probably wouldn't, after a year. Please give your neighbor our contact info (510-757-9507, or here on Facebook) and tell him/her to call ASAP. We're about to send her to a new foster home quite a bit out in the country.

This link should help out. Pretty much what the AR Pet Rabbit Network person is saying... http://rabbit.org/faq-how-to-find-a-good-rabbit-vet/

This website reference page does not include your country, unfortunately, but it may still be of interest or help to you nonetheless: http://rabbit.org/vet-listings/. There are some links to international resources for those who do not live in North America.

Hi Tracey! Shared this on the main wall. Also, have you tried checking out: http://www.rabbit.org/chapters/se-pennsylvania/vetlist.html ?

Try going to : rabbit.org They may have info

I took Buster to a great place in Alameda. Not sure if that's too far. Alameda Pet Hospital. Decent prices, great staff.

Bishop Ranch is supposed to be good. My bro worked there and thought highly of it.
