Rabbit veterinarian in Nashville

If your rabbit has stopped eating, is making fewer fecal pellets, is drooling, or just seems quieter than usual, call (615) 361-4646. Those signs are often urgent in rabbits. Priest Lake Veterinary Hospital is at 2445 Morris Gentry Blvd, Nashville, TN 37013, and is listed as a Gold-level practice in the Rabbit Welfare Association and Fund directory.

What rabbit visits usually involve

• A rabbit that has slowed down or stopped eating, including suspected gastrointestinal stasis
• Dental disease, including cheek teeth that cannot be assessed well while a rabbit is awake
• Urinary sludge, straining, or other urinary problems
• RHDV2 vaccination
• Pain that is easy to miss because rabbits hide it

Surgical care includes appendectomy, abscess surgery, abdominal surgery for an intestinal obstruction, liver lobectomy for liver lobe torsion, nasal and ear surgery, and dental extractions. Dr. Kopp holds the ABVP specialty title in Exotic Companion Mammal Practice.

Who this is for

Owners come from Nashville, Antioch, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, and the rest of Middle Tennessee. Primary care veterinarians also refer rabbits for a second opinion, dentistry, and cases that need more than a general practice visit. The rabbit goes back to the referring clinic for routine care.

After hours, exotic companion mammal consults are available through Veterinary Emergency Group in Franklin, Murfreesboro, and West Nashville.
