It’s 9 PM on Saturday night. You’re doing your evening check on your rabbit before bed. She’s hunched in the corner, eyes half-closed, ignoring the hay you just put out.
The droppings in her litter box look small and dry — and there haven’t been any fresh ones for hours. Your vet won’t open until Monday morning. The emergency exotic clinic is 45 minutes away and $800 minimum. Is this GI stasis — potentially fatal within 24 hours — or just a fussy day? Do you drive to the ER now, or monitor through the night?
You google it, but every source says something different. Some say wait. Some say emergency. You can’t tell which is right for YOUR rabbit, right now.
Rabbit First Aid is the 135-page emergency reference book written by a rabbit owner who lived through exactly this. Grounded in published guidance from the AVMA, House Rabbit Society, RWAF, and VECCS, this guide bridges the critical gap between “something seems wrong” and “I’m at the vet right now.”
“Excellent resource. I especially love all the ‘what not to do.'”
— Leslie Beatty, Medical Assistant, Rose City Rabbit Rescue
This isn’t a replacement for veterinary care. It’s what you need BEFORE you reach the vet — when minutes matter, when the vet is closed, when you have to decide whether to drive to the $800 ER visit or can safely wait until Monday morning.
Most “pet first aid” books fail rabbits. Dog CPR ratios cause injury in 4-pound animals. Hydrogen peroxide for poisoning is dangerous for rabbits. “Burp the bunny” is physiologically impossible. Rabbit First Aid is the only species-specific emergency guide built for rabbits.
