excerpt: (Carolyn, RO thread below)

Don't be afraid to ask the vet questions during the check-up. Record the rabbit's weight, check the rabbit's teeth, his ears, feel for tumors or bumps, check the eyes, heart rate, feet, gums, temperature, does the stomach feel normal, lumps? empty? too full?

Ask the vet to teach you as he/she is checking for these things so that you can keep tabs on it. Ask about what he/she thinks of the fur, and legs. You might question the vet about diet and their recommendation as to the needs of a rabbit his/her age.

I always get my money's worth and more when I go to the vet. Don't be afraid to go in with a list of questions. That's what they're there for and that's what you're paying for. If you don't understand what they're saying, tell them to restate it until you do.
