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.

Do rabbits get hiccups?

several times we've noticed peppa laying down and making squeaking noises and her whole body jolts justlike hiccups they don't last very long. didn't know if this was normal and anyone else had noticed their buns doing it
 
Hello Mashpotato!

Our buns sometimes get hiccups too, mainly when they've scoffed their food too fast, or eaten too much and then run around (a bit like us humans actually...).

I don't think it's anything to worry about, my two have always been fine after drinking a glass of water upside down and a sit down.

Don't know if anyone knows more about them?!
