Re: Why did the vet shave the back of my rabbit's ear?

I'm trying to remember if Jana's ear was shaved, I think it might have been and I just thought, hmm, odd, and ignored it, was alot going on at that point.

Rascal had to have his ear shaved when Darwin attacked him and it still doesnt look right over a year later!

luckily my rabbits are registered elsewhere I was just reading
Reading that they use ET tubes on them as well. That doesn't usually happen unless its for a dental even then its unlikely as the nurse will hold the iso tube by the rabbits nose for the gas. For spays/castrates they usually have a face mask for the iso. Because they wake up so fast tubing them is dangerous as they wake up and start to struggle before the tube is out and could damage the wind pipe. With the injectable though they wake up a lot slower so the tube can be taken out but the injection shouldn't really be used for rabbits.
