4. Should the vet wait and lose a client to the competitor?
WAIT AND LOSE A CUSTOMER TO THE COMPETITION?
To wait till 7 days or to treat and neuter the rabbit today? She had her first black-eyed rabbit treated for the same mite condition and was now bringing in a brown-nosed pure white rabbit to treat for its skin condition and to neuter it at the same time.
Yet, newly acquired rabbits should not undergo treatment or surgery unless necessary.
As it has just been acquired, it will be adjusting to the new home. Although it looks normal and stools are normal, it may be adjusting to new stress level not obvious to the owner. Immediate neutering and treatment save time. But it may kill the rabbit and that is why the owner should wait a few days. Preferably 7 - 14 days. But she had to travel. So, 3 days would be a minimum.
Some owners will not return if the vet advises waiting. Proper education of the owner is important. There is always a risk of losing customers to the competition if the time-harried owner is asked to wait. But it will be in the interest of the rabbit.
