How to Deal with an Anorexic Rabbit

Loss of appetite in rabbits is a frequent yet potentially serious concern that demands prompt recognition and appropriate care. This session explores the underlying causes of anorexia in rabbits, including gastrointestinal problems, nutritional imbalances, and systemic illnesses. Evidence-based strategies for early detection, supportive management, and practical owner guidance will be discussed. Real-life scenarios will illustrate how to distinguish between mild, manageable cases and situations requiring urgent veterinary intervention. Designed for veterinarians in general practice or exotic pet care, this discussion equips clinicians with actionable approaches to safeguard rabbit health, optimize recovery, and provide owners with clear, effective advice.
