Applying EMLA cream
-
EMLA cream is a local anaesthetic cream that can be applied to to skin over veins so the intravenous cannulae or needles can be inserted without pain. It takes 40 minutes to take effect and the area needs to be covered. If the ear vein is used, cutting a finger off a latex glove to cover the area is useful and well tolerated. It is not as heavy and uncomfortable as a bandage

Baby wild rabbit
-
Young wild rabbits are infected with myxomatosis from fleas from the mother that live in the nest. This rabbit had just emerged so it was about 4 weeks old. It was caught by a dog. Although there were no injuries from the dog, the swollen eyelids indicate that it was in the initial stages of myxomatosis.

Rabbit with potential problems
-
This rabbit has congenital incisor malocclusion. The upper and lower incisors will never meet or be functional. He also has a big fluffy coat that would be a problem for him to groom, even if his incisors were normal. Rabbits use their incisors like pincers to grasp dead hair and remove it from the fur. The rabbit also has spotted markings, which is linked with 'megacolon' syndrome although only a small proportion of them develop it. This rabbit is going to take a lot of care. and commitment to keep the area under his tail free from urine and uneaten caecotrophs. He will need regular grooming and trimming.

Rabbit without ears and a leg.
-
If rabbits with newborn babies are disturbed they may mutilate or even eat the young. This rabbit came from a breeder where no nest boxes were provided and baby rabbits were born in tiny cages. Both pinnae and one front leg have been chewed off.
