    Comments from Margie (an HRS educator): Dr. Koga sees a ton of shelter bunnies, spays them as well, has cared for copious rescue bunnies (very intelligent, compassionate, realistic, diligent). Both Dr. Koga and Dr. O'Day seem to see the most bunnies. Dr. Koga has even performed bladder-stone surgery on my bunny at midnight as she is the swing-shift vet. Dr. O'Day is another excellent surgeon and bunny-savvy vet; both keep up on all HRS info... I have heard Dr. Johnson is good as is Dr. Nakamura.

    Comments: In Vacaville, CA, we have been taking our bunnies to Dr. Corey Thompson, a UC Davis grad with extensive post-doc work for six years. He treated our 13 1/2 yr old bun, Poppy for many age-related problems as Pops got older. Dr. Thompson spent lots of time with our bunny and several times did research at HRS, and elsewhere, before recommending appropriate treatments. He thinks outside the box, and always finds "plan B", if the standard treatment for a problem doesn't seem to be getting excellent results.

    Comments: * When I took my Blanca in to him with what seemed to be a balance issue, he quickly discovered she had mites and was just reacting weird. He took a scraping of this crud on her tush...and showed me under the microscope ---it was CRAWLING!!! I have 21 bunnies and...this meant ALL those babies had to be treated with ivermectin - TWICE. [I]t took 2 trips the first time (couldn't fit them all into my car) - and I could only do it on a day he wasn't in. But the VCA vet techs helped me unload the car, weighed and treated each of my babies, and were just so nice! When I was done, petrified of what the cost would be, and they told me Dr. Misetich had left word to charge me "herd rate" - which was a HUGE discount.
