Rabbit Housing
When owning a rabbit, you should have the correct housing for them. There should be saw dust at the bottom of the crate for the rabbit to do their business on. The crate should be changed at least once a week and add fresh saw dust. You can also use granulated paper, hay, or straw. The rabbit must have enough space to move and have a bowl where the food is and a water bottle. The bowl must be heavy enough for the rabbit not to be able to pick the dish up and throw it. The crate must have a roof and be rabbit-escape proof.

Shuntz Disease
Shuntz disease is a type of liver disease that is cause by a poor diet. It allows blood to bypass the liver, which is not cleaned by the bodily filters. The blood moves around the liver instead of inside the liver. Sometimes, dental disease can cause increased liver enzymes activities. They have to be put on specific diets unlike other liver diseases. The dog has to be on a low protein diet, preferably vegetarian diets. You must avoid foods that contain soy, cauliflower, spinach, asparagus, peas, mushrooms, and beans. Supplements such as SAM-e (S-denosyl-L-Methionine). SAM-e is best to be taken on an empty stomach, along with vitamin B.
