Is your rabbit in danger?

Emergency Triage

Answer 8 quick questions. Dr. Hopps tells you exactly what to do — and finds the nearest exotic vet.

Everything looks fine

Rabbits hide their pain until it's critical. GI stasis can turn fatal in 12 hours — when in doubt, check.

Why this exists

Is this an emergency, or am I overreacting?

It is the question that keeps owners sitting on the floor at 3am, and both wrong answers cost something. Go in and it might be nothing and expensive. Wait and it might be gut stasis, which in a rabbit is measured in hours. Almost nobody can make that call calmly about their own animal at that hour.

What it does

  • Asks eight short questions about what you are actually seeing right now.
  • Gives you a clear instruction — go now, call tonight, or watch and check again — instead of a list of possibilities.
  • Finds the nearest exotic-competent vet, because most practices are not rabbit practices.
  • Works with no signal and no account, so a dead zone or a locked-out login cannot stand between you and the answer.

What it will not do

It cannot examine your rabbit and it never replaces the phone call. It is built to make the decision faster and less lonely — and it is deliberately biased toward telling you to go.

Why the thresholds are rabbit thresholds

Generic pet triage is built around dogs and cats, and the two most dangerous rabbit signals barely register on it: not eating, and not passing droppings. In a rabbit those are the emergency, not a symptom to monitor. This asks the questions a rabbit-savvy vet would ask first, in the order they would ask them.

Ask Dr. Hopps what you just saw

The triage itself is free, works signed out, and keeps working with no signal.
