Kleintierpraxis Dr. Ruth Paproth

If you're looking for a vet with experience with rabbits, you've come to the right place. I now have a large group of 12 rabbits and I go there every now and then because things naturally happen faster with a group that big. I'm really happy to have found a good vet with experience with rabbits and a very friendly team. I've also received excellent advice there with my Juno's semi-wild babies (the babies' father is a wild rabbit). Juno also came to me via the vet's practice and, with the help of the practice team, was passed on to me by the people who found her. Juno was probably abandoned and rescued from thorn bushes before she came to me. This doe and her babies make me so happy every day that I took them in. When the little ones were old enough to be neutered in late summer 2024, they helped me mark the two males, who look like wild rabbits, as pets and advised me to have their ears tattooed at the same time when they were neutered under anesthesia. A very good decision; I would make the same decision again with semi-wild rabbits that look like wild rabbits. No one is above suggesting creative solutions. One of the semi-wild ones injured his paw in spring 2025. Because of his wild heritage and instincts, he had to be sedated for the x-ray. The normal x-ray didn't show a clear image, so they tried a dental x-ray, and lo and behold, the thumb claw bone was clearly broken. Ultimately, the bone had to be amputated because the fracture wouldn't heal without a cast, which wouldn't have been an option for a semi-wild rabbit. It doesn't bother him anymore, and he's a happy rabbit again, full of nonsense. I've been there with my rabbits since 2018. Even chronically ill animals aren't immediately given up on, whether it's chronic rabbit cold, E. cuniculi, or incipient kidney problems. They always consider what's still feasible and fight as long as there's still hope. My neutered rabbit, Puck, struggled with E. cuniculi for three years, had three attacks and almost died three times. We received good care, and my Puck always recovered, even though he was incontinent, blind, and deaf toward the end because of E. cuniculi. Puck sadly passed away in 2024 at the age of five after a fourth attack, which, given his medical history, was almost a miracle. My Belle struggled with a really bad case of rabbit cold for over a year. We tried every antibiotic, and even though none really worked, she fortunately got better. She died in the summer of 2025 after a short illness that was probably just too much for her. She was almost 6 years old when she passed away. We were also there in 2019 with my rabbit Hazel, who had her belly slit open. The belly was successfully stapled under anesthesia, and she was given a bodysuit for small dogs to protect her from the wound, as ruffles should only be used on rabbits in an emergency. Hazel's wound healed well, and she was back to her old self. Hazel didn't age particularly well, but she clearly enjoyed the time after the wound healed. So, highly recommended, because you can always count on competent and professional advice and careful treatment. Thank you for over 7 years of competent advice and treatment for my rabbits. 😊🐇🍀

A truly excellent practice: The staff here are all friendly, attentive, and caring, treating the animals with great love and paying attention to every detail. I would especially like to commend the veterinarian—a highly competent, professional, and empathetic specialist whom you can truly trust. The treatments are performed to a high standard, and everything is explained calmly and clearly. I am very happy that I took my two Sphynx cats to this practice. I will definitely use this practice again and can wholeheartedly recommend it to all pet owners. ❤️❤️❤️

The best vet for our two dogs. She treated and operated on our Emma with great skill and love! A very loving and competent vet to whom we gladly entrust our two dogs!

From personal experience, as well as the experiences of family members, I find the veterinarian extremely rude and severely lacking in empathy and basic interpersonal skills. We took our dog to the practice as an emergency patient some time ago. The veterinarian came across as unfriendly and unmotivated, and even made an inappropriate "joke" that we were "lucky" because the late hour had increased the cost. This statement and her general behavior are, in my opinion, extremely unprofessional and unpleasant. The recent experience of family members also strongly reflects poorly on this veterinarian's character. They, too, reported (without having heard of the practice before) a very poor and unfriendly experience and were outraged by their (emergency) visit. Therefore, I can only advise against this practice and would not recommend it under any circumstances. It would be desirable for the practice to improve its interpersonal skills.
