  • Please Note - Medical Advice

    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.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    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.

my rabbit has had an abcess on her stomach...the vets put her under and flushed it out. shes on 5 lots of medication. its distressed her, and she isnt eating. she's had a couple of overnight stays at the vets and seems to be on the mend. the abcess has gone however there is a lump present now.

the vet has mentioned about an operation to remove the lump.... im not sure whether it is totally necessary or fair to her. all the above has cost me in excess of £200.

what do people think?? there was that article in the paper about vets conning animal lovers, maybe thats why im concerned.
