Also, rabbits are naturally prey animals. They don't cope well with disease and injury. Once your rabbit gets sick, it is very hard to save them (unless the illness is minor like the snuffles). Other minor health problems can often lead to greater health problems if left untreated.
Most experienced rabbit breeds know signs and treatments for many illnesses and may not have to take their rabbits to a vet. For a simple pet owner, it would be wise to check with your vet from time to time.
Rabbits have to go to the vets twice a year for their booster injections. Myximitosis once/twice a year. VHD once/ twice a year. They have one of them once a year and the other twice a year, but i can't remember which one's which. I am registered with my local vets so they send me reminders to tell me when my rabbits need their next injections.
Monthly is fine, but weekly is better, though the expenses are...well, you know, maybe monthly is alright...
At some stage of your rabbits life it will need to go to the vets.
if you have baby rabbits however, they need to get two important vaccinations and they also need to be wormed immediately.
Rabbits do not need to go to the vet. They do not require shots or check ups like dogs or cats.
Another opinionRabbits do need to go to the vet! Dutch rabbits need vet care just like all pet rabbits for:
Check-ups: We bring dogs and cats to the vet for check-ups because they have a long lifespan (10+ years), and many of the illnesses and injuries they suffer from are treatable. Both of these facts are true of rabbits as well.
Because they're prey animals, rabbits try to hide their illnesses and injuries. Bunnies who get annual check-ups with the vet have a higher chance of living happy, healthy, long lives. Also give your rabbit a physical exam at home every month, and observe appearance and behaviour daily for any changes that might signify ill health.
Illness/Injury and Euthanasia: Rabbits suffer and feel pain just like all animals do. Bunnies have the right to vet care, and this is one of the responsibilities of all rabbit owners. Many problems that rabbits can have are easily treated by a vet, but they can lead to death if left untreated. And if your rabbit is deathly ill, it should be put out of its misery, not allowed to die in pain.
Shots: This depends on where you live -- for instance, in the UK, rabbits need shots against Myxomatosis and VHD; in North America, they don't need shots at all.
Rabbits need special vets who have experience and knowledge in treating rabbits. In some ways, rabbits are very different from cats/dogs, and some cat/dog vets have hurt and even killed rabbits accidentally because they don't know much about them.

Some people would say semi-annually. (Every six months.) However, a yearly visit would be much more practical and affordable for the average bunny owner. Unless your bunny has signs of distress or illness, a yearly check-up should be sufficient. Neutering or spaying right from the start will prevent some health problems for both genders as the rabbits age.
Rabbits don't need a ton of vet care. Some people take their rabbits to the vet to have their nails clipped approximately every 4 months. Otherwise, rabbits might need a checkup once a year. For the most part, rabbits do not need a lot of vet care.
If you ask your vet to teach you, you can start doing nail clippings at home. There are regular grooming tasks you should do as well, as well as clipping nails: like brushing the rabbit when it's moulting, and making sure the anal glands are kept clean. See the related link below for details ("monthly maintenance").
Aside from annual checkups, the rabbit should go to the vet when it's sick or injured. If you feed it the right diet (lots and lots of hay; not too many pellets), and you make sure its environment is safe (bunny-proofing), then you'll already be doing a lot to prevent injury and illness. But misfortune can strike no matter what, so observe your rabbit's appearance and behaviour every day so you can keep an eye out for any problems.

Of course! Once a month and if they're sick or something, once a week or something like that.
To get medicines for their diseases, and regularly for any signs of new ones.
it depends why?
just like any other animal, they have to be healthy to survive, so that's where the vet comes in, they make sure that the bunnies are healthy.
You should take a guinea pig to a veterinarian if they are sick, obese, pregnant, or if they are in need of a routine checkup.
Every 6 months you should take the Red Eared Slider Turtle to the vet
i have a male dwarf bunny and he is the best!!!!!! good choice!!!!!!! as far as i know, there are always bunnies for sale somwhere! go to petsmart and ask where you can get bunnies if they don't already have them! that's what i did!! or you could ask a vet or internet!
People dont go to the vet!! Duhhh Only animals do! ~Charlie:)
Bunnies are often found at a breeder's house who raises or breeds bunnies. You can also find them at a pet store. Go online to see where bunnies can also be found.
Dogs typically need a checkup twice a year, every six months
They do not need to go on annual vet visits like dogs or cats, but when they do get sick they need medical attention, and with some illnesses, they need to get a vet very quickly because they can go downhill very quickly.
They would go to the vet if there are sudden changes acompany to your cat. I would recommend they go to the vet about once a month for check-ups.
once a month
