People tend to be so hostile to criticism of the way they care for their animals bc nowadays veterinary knowledge of pets and proper pet care is rapidly improving compared to previous decades (imo) but it makes me sooo sad 😭 i know [practice] SUPPOSEDLY worked for you and your pet in the past but did you really truly pay attention to your pet or did you just assume its ok because they didnt die… crazy. Plus people have a skewed way of thinking about the lifespan of pets - rabbits live a long ass time, but they think if it died within 3-5 years of age thats normal. Ok. Sure. Im mostly talking about old people here 💀 i hate talking about what i do for my animals and seeing the looks on their faces change or tell me im “pampering” my pets and that their pets arent softies like that. Well. It’s your pet. Why did you get it if you dont want to pamper it in the first place LOL? But i know the answer is ‘for human entertainment’ soooo

Do notttt even get me started on how behind most vets are when it comes to houserabbits.. It’s taken me so long to find one that even slightly knows what they’re doing and i live in a place with a lot of exotic vets. Can’t imagine what it’s like in rural areas. Even then my current vet still gives super outdated advice sometimes lol. And of course it turns out my only true up to date amazing vet is an emergency-only !!! But i suppose thats handy 😭
