    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.

    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.

ALSO!!:D does anyone use things like flea repellent, wipes, fly repellant, deoderising spray, errrrrmmm probiotic drops.....things like this are they worth buying? will lucy have a dicky tummy for the rest of her life due to her being weaned too early??:shock:

You could try her on a little bit to start with.Most good rabbit food contains prebiotic anyway so there is no need to give extra:D
For fly repellant i use citronella oil which is a natural product.
So glad to hear Lucy is now doing well:D
