I HIGHLY reccommend this book to anyone interested in rabbit health, veterinarian, pet owner or rabbit breeder. I am the latter and found this book to be incredibly useful. One will need a basic knowledge of general biology to get their way through the book. I've raised rabbits very successfully for seven years. After reading this I changed many things I thought i had been doing right but now, thanks to the book, I am getting even better results. Its well worth every penny. I've won awards for rabbit knowledge so I had no idea that I'd learn a thousand times more from this book. i've actually taught our veterinarian a few things as she is the one who recommended the book to me. I've learned the most amazing and useful facts that have worked wonders, and they are the simplest things. Who knew that regular honey had healing properties strong enough to cure my rabbits severe case of ulcerative pododermatitis? he was so bad off the vet thought that i was crazy to not put him down. but I'm happy to say he's very much alive, 4 months later and is able to live an almost normal life. this is only one of millions (I mean MILLIONS) of useful little facts that will completely changed the most skilled rabbit fancier's way of looking at things. this book has saved the life of one of my rabbits and has given me sucessful suggestions for treatments to several other problems that even my vet who is a 25-year rabbit breeder herself didn't know. i urge you to get this book. It really can save the lives of rabbits and teach the most knowledeable person many new things

Rabbit medicine is a difficult subject to cover. Although our knowledge has increased greatly in the last ten years, there is still much we do not know. Harcourt-Brown does a very good job of describing medical problems that are common in rabbits, and provides information on treatment. She also provides valuable information on biological characteristics and husbandry.

The only thing that I would have liked to see more of in the book are pictures. Otherwise, the book has been a valuable addition to my library, and I will definitely purchase any further revisions of the book. I recommend the book highly to anyone interested in rabbit care who has some knowledge of veterinary medicine.

This book starts good with actual data, evidence, feelings, expectations, extensive experiences and generally shows like veterinary medical bible. I feel no worry in practicing on and love reading many times about how to handling simple pain even complex life saving care. Thanks to Frances Harcourt-Brown for presenting this very helpful book.

Comprehensive professional reference about rabbit care, diseases and disease processes. It is British. There is scant information on how to treat the things it helps you diagnose. Not a lay person reference, but geared toward veterinary professionals

Invaluable! If you breed or care for a lot of rabbits you'll find this book to be a great tool. Its a bit pricey, but if a rabbit ever falls ill under your care you'll be glad you have it on hand.
