Bunny Vets | South Africa

Bunny Vets | South Africa

IMPORTANT NOTE

Bunnies are classed as exotic animals in veterinary terms, which means treating them requires specialized training.  Veterinarians who have trained and worked only in South Africa are unlikely to have extensive experience in the treatment of bunnies. Our vet list is always a work in progress. While we do our best to recommend reputable bunny vets, we (admins) have not been able to personally visit each of these practices and rely on the recommendations and experiences of our members. Please note that in most cases, it is a specific vet within a practice who has a special interest in rabbits and not necessarily the entire practice. However, from the veterinarians below, those from exotic practices should be considered first where possible.
