Congratulations, and welcome to the list. =)

I don't know how big Olathe is, or if it's near any large cities or towns,
but what I would do is see if there is a chapter of the House Rabbit
Society anywhere near you (or even in Kansas), because they can recommend
vets who have experience working with rabbits and other rodents. They are
the big group of rodent fanciers that I am personally familiar with, but I
don't know anything about the Rat & Mouse groups. However, if you do a
search on the web, there are at least two of them that seem fairly well
organized. The House Rabbit Society is at http://www.rabbit.org
If you get no leads with that, vets who treat "exotics" will say so in
their phone book advertisements, and you can call them up and ask them test
questions -- the House Rabbit Society has some good ones, which I think are
on their web site.
I am in Bryan/College Station, Texas, and my vet treats rodents. I also
have the Texas A&M Vet School in case something difficult comes up. Are you
near the Vet School in Kansas? Vet Schools tend to be more thorough and
expensive than regular vets, but you get the latest cutting edge treatments
there, too.
Good luck,
