Rabbits are wonderful companions, but they need a vet who understands their unique digestive system, dental structure, and behavioral needs. At South Pasadena Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive rabbit care — from annual wellness exams and RHDV2 vaccinations to GI stasis treatment, dental checks, and spay/neuter surgery. Our team treats every bunny with the gentle, knowledgeable care they deserve.
Our vets understand rabbit-specific anatomy and medicine — from their continuously growing teeth and sensitive GI tracts to safe anesthesia protocols for spay/neuter procedures.
Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 (RHDV2) is a deadly threat in California. We carry the RHDV2 vaccine to protect your bunny from this highly contagious and often fatal disease.
GI stasis is the number one emergency in rabbits and can be fatal within 24-48 hours. We diagnose and treat GI stasis aggressively with fluid therapy, motility drugs, and pain management.
No hidden fees. We publish our exam and service prices so rabbit owners can plan ahead. View our prices.
Comprehensive nose-to-tail checkups including weight, teeth, heart, lungs, gut sounds, and overall condition assessment.
Protection against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2, which is present in California and can be fatal even in indoor rabbits.
Aggressive treatment including subcutaneous fluids, gut motility medications, pain relief, syringe feeding support, and monitoring.
Rabbit teeth grow continuously. We check for malocclusion, spurs, and overgrown molars that cause pain and eating difficulties.
Safe rabbit spay and neuter procedures using rabbit-appropriate anesthesia protocols. Spaying females prevents uterine cancer, which affects up to 80% of unspayed does.
Fecal testing for coccidia and other parasites, plus treatment for E. cuniculi and fur mites.

At least once a year for a wellness exam. Rabbits over 5 years old should be seen every 6 months since they're more prone to dental disease, arthritis, and other age-related conditions.
GI stasis occurs when a rabbit's digestive system slows or stops completely. Without treatment, it can be fatal within 24-48 hours. Signs include not eating, no droppings, lethargy, and a hunched posture. If you suspect GI stasis, call us immediately. Read our complete guide to rabbit GI stasis.
Yes. RHDV2 can be carried on shoes, clothing, and even by insects, meaning indoor rabbits are still at risk. The vaccine is the only reliable protection and is recommended for all pet rabbits in California.
Absolutely. Spaying prevents uterine cancer (which affects up to 80% of unspayed female rabbits by age 5) and reduces territorial behavior. Neutering males reduces spraying and aggression. Both procedures are done safely at our clinic.
A rabbit's diet should be 80% unlimited timothy hay, supplemented with fresh leafy greens (romaine, cilantro, parsley) and a small amount of high-quality pellets. Avoid seeds, nuts, and sugary treats. We review diet at every visit.

Finding a rabbit-savvy vet in Alhambra and the San Gabriel Valley takes effort. Many general veterinary practices see rabbits infrequently and may not be up to date on the latest rabbit medicine, including RHDV2 vaccination protocols and safe anesthesia techniques for rabbit surgery. At South Pasadena Animal Hospital, located at 3116 West Main Street in Alhambra, rabbit care is a regular part of our practice and our veterinarians are well-versed in the unique health needs of these beloved pets.
Rabbits are herbivores with a complex, sensitive digestive system that requires a high-fiber diet and consistent gut motility. GI stasis — a condition where the gut slows or stops — is the most common emergency we see in rabbits and can be life-threatening within a day or two if untreated. Our team is experienced in recognizing and treating GI stasis quickly with aggressive supportive care. We also focus heavily on prevention, counseling rabbit owners on proper diet, exercise, and stress management at every visit.
Dental disease is another major concern in rabbits. Their teeth grow continuously throughout life, and misaligned teeth can develop painful spurs that prevent eating. We perform dental exams at every wellness visit and offer molar trims when needed. We also provide spay and neuter surgery using rabbit-safe anesthesia, as well as RHDV2 vaccination to protect against this fatal virus that has been confirmed in California.
Rabbit owners bring their bunnies to SPAH from across the area, including Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Gabriel, Monterey Park, Arcadia, and Highland Park. If your rabbit needs a vet who truly understands bunny medicine, contact us to book an appointment.
