  Hi guys my rabbit had his first trip in early dec. so here are some tips you may or may not find useful .
  
  No 1 shots and vaccines
  
  Shots and vaccines can be scary and intimidating. There is one vaccine needed yearly that you may think your rabbit will be scared of.
  This vaccine does not make rabbits flinch at all
  
  No 2 weight
  
  This can be a typical scare point of your first visit. But as long as you do the research and find out the average weight of your breed you will probably be fine.
  Vets can also give you great tips for slimming and fattening your bundle from heaven.
  
  Lastly, temperatures
  
  At my vet , the thermometer goes up the rear. This can be frightening for you but if you hold them so they cannot see what’s happening they tend not to flinch.
  
  So that is my top three tips for vet visits

  Thanks-great tips!
  Most areas of the world, there are no vaccines (and no need for them) for rabbits-are you in UK by chance?

  I find that if you’re weighing your rabbit regularly at home, it’s also good to weigh them right before or after the vet visit as well. That way you’ll know if your home scale is off at all in comparison to the one at your vet clinic and will avoid future scares when your bunny may weigh in quite differently to what you recorded at home.
  
  Australia and the UK, and I think a couple other places require vaccines for rabbits. As long as your rabbit is secured well on the table there should be no cause for concern.
