anthony. the veins in the ear can collapse alot easier than the ones
in the neck. plus they are alot easier to get blood out of. the are
alot larger. harley has been so good about it all. though he as had
enough.. he beats me up now...

The rabbit's ears have blood vessels that come extremely close to the
surface. They act as a heat exchange to cool the rabbit. Although I
don't think it's current practice, anesthetic can be applied to the ears
of a rabbit. My Vet gave me that for Jump some seven years ago when he
was neutered. I believe the blood flows right at the surface in the
rabbits ears. The blood vessels in the neck are probably larger, but I
agree, taking blood from the neck makes me nervous. True, I did stick
needles in Zolo when I gave him sub-Q. fluids, but I'm pretty sure I
would not be a veterinarian. I have a good deal of respect for people
like Ronie.
