Thoughtful Care for Your Rabbit’s Everyday Health
Rabbits have distinct health needs and can become ill quickly. Park Grove Pet Hospital provides rabbit care for families in Cottage Grove, MN. We help with routine checkups, health concerns, and questions about your rabbit’s daily needs.
Rabbits often hide pain or illness. Small changes in eating, droppings, activity, or behavior may need attention. Regular visits help us monitor your rabbit’s health over time. Our team is here to help you make informed decisions for your rabbit’s comfort and well-being.
Wellness Exams for Rabbits
A wellness exam lets us assess your rabbit’s overall health and discuss their routine at home. We check body condition, eyes, ears, teeth, skin, coat, movement, and more.
We may also review:
- Hay, pellets, leafy greens, and water intake
- Weight changes
- Droppings and litter box habits
- Housing and exercise space
- Chewing behavior and enrichment
- Grooming and nail care
- Social behavior and activity level
Rabbit care includes support for the small details that affect your pet’s comfort each day.
Why Dental Health Matters for Rabbits
Rabbit teeth grow throughout life. Uneven tooth wear can cause pain and make eating difficult. Some rabbits may eat less, drop food, drool, or choose softer foods when their mouth hurts. During your rabbit’s visit, we can check for signs of dental concerns. Call us if you notice a change in appetite, chewing, or weight.
