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.

Ive just spoken to my vets about speying my doe.
The poor love is growling and lunging at me,her boobs are swollen and shes lactating so the best thing is to spey her.Im so worried.Theyre phoning me back later on to chat more and to book her in.I know its best but I dont want to lose her.she means the world to me.Perhaps im being irrational.:(
 
It's natural to worry; it just means you care. :) As with any op, there is always a very very small risk but it sounds as though spaying would be the best thing for your bunny. She might be a little off colour for a day or two after the op, but she will soon bounce back. :)
 
Of course you are worried just shows you are a good bunny mummy but its amazing how quickly they bounce back. If she is an outdoor bun it might be worth moving her inside for a bit afterwards to keep her warm especially given the weekend forecast brrrr. this will also make it easier for you to keep an eye that she is eating drinking and pooing etc normally good luck
 
Ive just had one of mine done and I was worried sick because she didnt eat for over 24 hours for all is fine and dandy now and it is healing nicely the vet said. Your doing the best thing and it will mean your rabbit will live longer too!! (should do anyway cos she wont get cancer in the womb which the females are prone too, not sure of the correct wording for that though!!)
