Free or Low Cost Vets??

Does anyone know where my cousin would be able to take her rabbit to the vet. He has maggots and theyre slowly eating him up. My cousin is young and doesnt have money but she loves her little rabbit. Does anyone know where she can bring him where they wont charge her an insane amt of money?? She lives in Huntington

sorry I don't know of any but maybe if she stops by an animal shelter in the area to see if they have any recomendations or if there is some discount they can give her to use at a vet - so sad, I hope it's ok

Thank you. Im going to look up shelters. At this point I think the rabbit is just going to end up dying. I wish there were more options for people when it comes to situations like this.

Oh no thats horrible

If the maggots are on the inside unfortunately it may be too late but ANY emergency animal shelter will see the rabbit. Hopefully with antiobiotics it can be cured. In the meantime your cousin should wash the bunny and try to get rid of the maggots.

Call up these places and check too see if they will treat the bunny no charge, i found them on a Rabbit Rescue website www.rabbit.org/vet. When you call tell them thats where you found their information.
