The Rabbit Health Database

Thousands of rabbits' lives have been "sacrificed" in scientific experiments that provide the medical information that we use for our own bunnies. HRS does not support harmful experimentation, but here's a way to contribute to the body of information without harming anyone.

We are compiling health data on the bunnies in our homes into lifelong studies. In order to make these studies statistically significant, we need a lot of data from you and your veterinarian. This is a way for you to make your deceased bunnies' lives all the more important--by contributing information that can improve, or even save, the lives of other bunnies.

A beta version of our Rabbit Health Database is now being hosted on a dedicated server at our national headquarters. As we develop it more thoroughly, we hope it will become a valuable source for veterinarians who treat our companion rabbits.

If you would like to participate in this project, please do the following:

Rabbit Health Database Form

Ask your veterinarian for copies of your rabbit's exam records and all diagnostic test results, such as blood panels, cultures, and radiographs. Necropsies are especially valuable for completing a total health history.

Mail all the papers to Rabbit Health Database, House Rabbit Society, 148 Broadway, Richmond, CA 94804.

We also need data-input volunteers. If you are interested in health issues and would like to help with the transfer of paper records to electronic records, please contact us at HealthDB@rabbit.org.

House Rabbit Society is a nonprofit rescue and education group.
