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.

This explains all I know about anaesthetic. Hope it helps. I'm still scared witless about the prospect of Esme undergoing an anaesthetic ... I'm asking the vet about it in a couple of hours!

ahh thankyou - I think it was the variation of gassing or injecting that I was thinking of, as posted by Tinky....
hope Esme does ok :wave: I am always terrified of my bun having anaesthetic when she has her teeth done but thus far she has always been her lively self afterwards!

My vet has advised me that he isn't particularly happy with the alternative anaesthetic he would have to use (can't remember name but not given in previous thread) It's not possible to reverse the anaesthetic quickly so if she had a bad reaction to it ... not as easy to get her back His straight answer was "If she was mine, I wouldn't have it done". So unless I find an alternative that I'm happy with then she's not going to be spayed
