Your rabbit is a big part of your life, and she relies on you to care for her day in and day out. Sometimes this will be relatively simple as only her basic care routine must be performed, and sometimes this will require a bit more on your part, like if she has fallen ill. What symptoms should you look out for so you will know when your pet is sick?

There are many traditional symptoms of sickness that may be present in your pet, like changes in her regular behavior due to her discomfort. She won’t be feeling like her usual self, so she won’t be acting like her usual self either. You may see changes in her eating habits, elimination habits, and her activity level. Drooling or nasal discharge may also be an indicator. Your local Lansing, MI vet, the Patterson Veterinary Hospital - Mason can help you care for your pet.
