We have recently purchased two of the rabbit V-gels, I really like them and find them very quick (literally 10 seconds) and easy to place. The thing I have noticed is you really need to use the right size tube for the rabbits body weight so you definitely need a selection of tubes which makes them very expensive.
You also need to make sure the tube is not inadvertently twisted when turning the rabbit over so it is always sitting directly over the larynx. You obviously can’t use them when performing dentals either which is a shame. On balance lwould definitely recommend them, the speed of placement helps reduce anaesthetic time and they are great for tiny rabbits that I find very tricky to intubate.
Hello! My name is Kristin Claricoatesfrom Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital, Skokie, Illinois, USA. Let me say how wonderful the v-gel products are. Since switching to v-gel we have had great success and will never look back.
As a veterinarian, I can attest that I do not buy a product unless I know how it works and feel comfortable with it. Had I known it existed before, I would have certainly wanted my cat to be spayed using a v gel rather than an endotrachealtube!
The v-gel makes rabbit anesthesia faster and easier. The cost of a v-gel is very economical and we have found that we are able to use each v-gel numerous times after it is sterilized between patients. I have never had any problems with this product and I use it each and every time I do a rabbit surgery. I feel a V-gel is not only easier to use, but safer as well because it reduces the risk of tracheal trauma and damage.
I can’t praise this product highly enough!
Thankyou again for making such wonderful products and we are lookingforward to your guinea pig v gel!

Dear Dawn,
I was never good at tubing rabbits blindly so the v-gel has been a real saviour. Rabbit anaesthetics are approached with more confidence knowing we have an ainNay.
