If you're looking for an alternative to the traditional pet cone (Elizabethan collar) for your rabbit, a medical pet shirt® is a great option. The medical pet shirt® helps by preventing the rabbit from licking or scratching at wounds, surgical sites, or irritated areas. Here are some common situations where a medical pet shirt® may be used for rabbits:

Post-Surgery Protection: After a surgical procedure, rabbits may need to wear a medical pet shirt® to protect the surgical site from excessive licking or scratching. The shirt helps prevent the rabbit from accessing the incision or wound, reducing the risk of infection, and promoting proper healing.

Wound and Injury Management: In cases where rabbits have minor wounds or injuries, the medical pet shirt® can be used to cover and protect the affected area. This can help prevent further irritation, contamination, or self-inflicted damage while the rabbit heals.

Skin Conditions: Rabbits can develop skin issues, such as dermatitis or allergies, which may cause them to scratch excessively. A medical pet shirt® can act as a barrier, preventing direct contact between the rabbit's nails and the affected area, thus aiding in the healing process.

Preventing Overgrooming: Some rabbits may overgroom themselves due to stress, anxiety, or other behavioural issues. Wearing a medical pet shirt can help reduce the likelihood of overgrooming, which can lead to hair loss, skin problems, and potential injuries.

Post-Operative Bandage Support: In cases where rabbits require bandages or dressings, a medical pet shirt can help keep these dressings secure and in place. It can be particularly useful for bandages that are challenging to apply or keep on due to the rabbit's movements.

Getting the MPS-Medical Pet Shirt® Rabbit on and off has never been easier…

The simple process of putting on and removing the MPS-Medical Pet Shirt®:

First, roll up the shirt, grasping the middle head opening in your hand, and ensure the blue inner layer faces downward. Begin by sliding your rabbit's head through the opening, followed by slipping one leg into the smaller leg opening and the other leg into the remaining one.

Then, gently pull the shirt over your rabbit's body until it reaches the back. To properly secure the shirt, draw the lower belly flaps between the hind legs and bring them towards the upper flaps near the base of the tail.

Finally, fasten the two flaps together using the buttons or snaps provided. Take a moment to inspect the fit around your rabbit's legs, neck, and tail, ensuring there is ample room for movement and comfortable breathing. If necessary, feel free to make adjustments to the snaps.

Made from high-quality, soft, and stretchy materials, the MPS-Medical Pet Shirt® offers a snug fit that keeps your rabbit securely in place, preventing any escape attempts. However, it's essential to keep a close eye on your furry friend to ensure the fit is just right, neither too tight nor too loose.
 
When Nature Calls…
Because of the specially tailored opening at the back, the majority of rabbits can leave the Medical Pet Shirt® fully closed when nature calls. How convenient!

Nevertheless, it's a good idea to periodically check the back opening while your rabbit is wearing the Medical Pet Shirt®.
