Hi there. I'm so sorry to read about Cappuccino's troubles. I know veterinary care can be overwhelming sometimes. I don't know about any places that would see a rabbit for free. However, you can check for financial aid resources in your area. This website seems to have a list of organizations listed by state https://www.thesimpledollar.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-financial-aid-for-pets/ There is also the Shakespeare fund that may help you just with the initial exam. I would look into that, because it's at least a start. You may be able to get Cappuccino examined, and see if there is anything, like pain medication, that may not be too pricey for him that he can have until you go forward with all of the specialists recommendations. Another resource you can look into is a gofundme through facebook. You can also try contacting the humane society in your area. They may have resources to help you out! I hope you find this answer helpful! Best of luck!

    I'm sorry that your bunny is not well. Usually a vet will not see you without payment. You could try to apply for CareCredit to help you pay for any xrays and treatment. You could contact your local House Rabbit Society group (go to www.rabbit.org) and see if they have any assistance programs. You could see if your local shelter vet will see and treat your bunny as they are often a less expensive alternative. Good luck!
