A practical, evidence-based approach to prioritizing care, stabilizing patients and making confident decisions in rabbit GI cases.
Final session on Wednesday, January 21 at 6 pm CST!
Why reframing rabbit gastrointestinal syndrome as a secondary issue matters, and how that shift changes outcomes
Early stabilization priorities that make rabbit GI cases more manageable and less stressful to navigate
The role of analgesia in improving GI function and clarifying decision-making
How evidence can simplify, not complicate, rabbit GI care, helping you let go of low-impact treatments you reach for out of habit
A clearer way to think through rabbit GI cases without relying on trial and error
Final session:
If any of the following sound like you, do yourself a favor and do NOT miss this masterclass!
Rabbit GI cases often feel stressful not because they’re complex, but because it’s hard to know what truly matters first. This masterclass helps you reframe how you approach these cases so your decisions feel calmer and more intentional.
Rabbit GI care is full of habits and conflicting recommendations that persist more from tradition than evidence. In this masterclass, I’ll show you how evidence can simplify decision-making and reduce unproven treatments.
Knowing that GI stasis isn’t the true diagnosis doesn’t always make the next steps obvious. This masterclass shows how reframing RGIS as a secondary problem should shape your early stabilization and diagnostic priorities. You’ll walk away with a more deliberate approach to those first critical choices.
"Dr. Turner is an incredibly knowledgeable DVM, especially for exotic pet medicine. She stays up to date on the standard of care and ensures those she teaches learn the techniques too. She is very patient and wants to make sure the vets - and techs - she guides feel comfortable with what they’re doing and that they understand the clinical reasoning behind their decisions. Dr. Turner’s experience is invaluable and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her mentorship!"
You've got questions. I've got answers.
Yep! This is a live, 45-minute educational webinar, followed by a live Q&A.
Yes. A replay will be available to registered attendees for a limited time after the live session. But you MUST register to get access.
Absolutely. This session is appropriate whether you rarely see rabbits or already manage rabbit GI cases regularly. The focus is on critical thinking and prioritization and does not assume advanced exotics training.
No. This webinar focuses on how to think through rabbit gastrointestinal syndrome, including stabilization priorities, analgesia considerations, and evidence-informed decision-making. Detailed protocols and implementation are covered in Exotic Vet Med Essentials and Exotic Companion Mammal Essentials.
Nope. If you see rabbits occasionally and feel stressed or unsure when they come in, this webinar is especially helpful. My approach is designed to make these cases feel more manageable, not overwhelming.
Yes. While the examples are rabbit-focused, the principles of stabilization, pain management, and evidence-based decision-making apply across exotic species and emergency presentations.
Yes!
I’m Dr. Kristen Turner, a board-certified specialist in Exotic Companion Mammal Practice and the founder of The Exotic Vet Consultant.
I didn’t build my career around exotic medicine because it was easy or trendy. I was drawn to it for the same reason many of you are: I didn’t go through vet school to practice cookie-cutter medicine, and I wanted cases that made me think. Rabbit GI cases, in particular, used to be some of the most frustrating and stressful parts of my day, not because I didn’t care or wasn’t trying, but because I lacked clear guidance on how to approach them with intention.
Over the years, through clinical practice, teaching, and digging deeply in the evolving literature, my approach to rabbit gastrointestinal syndrome shifted. When I stopped treating “GI stasis” as the problem and focused instead on stabilization, analgesia, and the underlying cause, these cases became more manageable, more predictable, and far less stressful.
Through Exotic Vet Med Essentials and live teaching, I help veterinarians who want to practice excellent, evidence-informed exotic medicine without losing the joy, curiosity, or confidence that drew them to the field in the first place. My teaching style is practical, honest, grounded in real-world decision-making, and fair warning, I’m likely to drop at least one f-bomb along the way.
This webinar is designed to give you that same clarity and shift in perspective, so rabbit GI cases feel less chaotic, more straightforward, and a lot more satisfying to manage.
If rabbit GI cases leave you feeling scattered or reactive, this will help you approach them with clarity and confidence
