Disease is inevitable and a natural occurrence, so can never be completely avoided but with good practice and awareness you can keep to a minimum and act quickly if knowledgeable. Prevention is always preferable to cure, but the cost of vaccinations and treatments at vets can be very costly - so knowing how to treat at home and where to buy the same treatments can both save time expense and sometimes the rabbits life. See what to buy page for links to where items can be bought for your medicine cabinet etc. It is important that you have a quarantine area for new rabbits to be placed in and for isolation should injury or illness occur. Care for your sick animals after your others and make sure you change clothes and have good bio security in place to prevent contamination spreading. Rest, cleanliness and calmness is the key - if you are stressed then your animals will pick up on your energies, so think positive healing thoughts and you will be surprised how much this helps both the invalid and yourself!
