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.

What if the bun hates having food/meds syringed into their mouths? (Jose :roll: ) Can you put it on their greens?

As per Jane's post, a 1ml syringe is probably best - just pop it straight into the mouth/side of cheek....... BUT mine steadfastly avoid me by about day 2 or 3 because they know what's coming :lol:. This shouldn't be a problem if your bunny lives in a hutch coz they're easy to catch but mine have a 25ft run with lots of hidey-holes and it's no fun spending half an hour chasing everyone round, not to mention stressful for the bunsters.
So I inject the panacur into mini-shredded wheats. I leave them to dry overnight (the buns don't like them soggy :roll and I let them eat them the following morning. This is the only 'fail-safe' method I've ever discovered for my own personal situation.

Jose's been on Metacam, Zantac and Baytril for the last week and she hated having them syringed, she'd wriggle, scratch, bite and run away (she lives in her own room which is about 7ft by 8ft) so now we just squirt them on to her greens which she demolishes.
I'd prob have to go for the shredded wheat option too
