The inspiration for this book came to me on May 7, 1998, the day my beloved Smokey lost his five-month battle with cancer. I realized how much medical knowledge I had picked up during those months, and as a tribute to Smokey's courage, I wanted to share what I had learned with other bunny caretakers. 

It took over two years to complete the original Rabbit Health 101 which became available in July 2000. It's successor, Rabbit Health in the 21st Century -- the only authorized revision of Rabbit Health 101 -- was released in March 2001. My goal with these books was to help rabbits in two ways: (1) by providing important medical information in "layman's terms" and (2) by providing a fund-raising opportunity for Rabbit Rescue, Education, and Welfare organizations.

Medicine is a constantly changing field. Just as Smokey inspired my original work, His Royal Highness King Murray has inspired the Second Edition. Thanks to Murray (who seems to think I should have first-hand experience with almost every condition I write about), the Second Edition includes personal anecdotes in more sections along with the latest medical information. Dr. Noella Allan reviewed the book in its entirety prior to its publication.
