Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
Found her flaked out in the run again. Lethargic, no interest in food, eyes dull. She's back in at the vets and although she's not as far gone as the last time Richard's keeping her in and says "it's def a case for Kevin" as he thinks there must be something else going on..it's only 10 days since her last bout.
I suppose it could be anything. She has been having a cube of fresh pineapple throughout to help things along and all the dropping have appeared normal..the usual big golden ones..
. She appeared to be holding her own through the night but hadn't responded to medication and this morning she is deteriorating rapidly. They've had a discussion about further treatment and the only option left to them is to open her up and see what's going on. If it's a removable blockage then she has a chance..but he's not hopeful
