    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.

Lola is back to her happy bunny self! Thanks to everyone who gave me advice!

I can't tell you what an awful Easter I had with Lola. She stopped eating on Thursday. I visited 3 vets, who either didn't care or wouldn't go near her with a barge pole because she wasn't fit enough for a sedation! All 3 didn't think it was her teeth that were causing the problem :censored: After the third vet had suggested that she be put to sleep within 24 hours I was in melt down and joined this forum. Thank god I did, you all told me it was her teeth, I knew it was and one very kind person on here recommended that I go to see Judith at First Vets in Heaton, Newcastle. She was fantastic, she immediately saw the problem in Lola's mouth and two days later she was in for her dental. Lola came home at 6pm that night and instantly started munching on all her favourites. She is now back to being one very happy little bunny! :D
So if anyone in the North East needs a rabbit friendly vet, please head to First Vets and see Judith. If I hadn't gone there Lola would not be with me now and I just worry about all the bunnys that go to these other vets and are not treated properly and perhaps no longer with us due to this.

Thanks everyone for being so helpful when I needed it :wave:

Cat I am so appauled by them, saying that they specialise in small pets!! I want to complain.

Yes, another Lola, I just love the name :D
 
Fantastic news. It's so sad that some vet was ready to put her to sleep when she could be helped so easily by someone who knew what they were doing.

I'm so glad you found RU and Jane could point you to a good rabbit vet.
 
That is wonderful news for you & your girlie bun Lola :D I'm just so sorry you had to go through what you did with Lola :cry:

Can we see some pics of your little bun when she's up to having her pic taken? :D

No you have to upload your pics into photobucket & then copy the link from there & paste onto a thread - sorry I'm not very technical :oops: I think there is a thread in how to use the forum etc :oops:

Looking foward to seeing them :)
 
Here goes nothing... wonder if it works!!!

Hopefully you can see Lola as a baby below, just before I got her
