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.

caspers teeth bother him now and again and he will stop eating, i rush him down the vets they give him metacam and zentec then after a day he is back eating and i take him off the metacam and he is fine again for another few months, my rabbit vet has told be the best thing to do would be to give me some metacam and when he has a "off day" give it to him and see how he goes instead of coming back and forth to the vets, hes spures have not regrown and my vet said he has old discoloured teeth, but to try and remove and molar would be risky, is anyone elses rabbit on metacam long term? i mean i know its bad for there kidneys but he will not be on it all the time just on his off days, i also found that he is much better running around on metcam, think he has arthritis bless him! but he is eating and running around very happy bun at the moment!
