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.

sorry i cant suggest anything other than the horrible but i hope he does make it and it would be better to operate and give hi ma chance than leave him struggling. if his lips are blue then he is in serious trouble and needs vetinary intervention such as operation, oxygen or sadly possibly pts i have never encountered this so i hope someone else can give more help thinking of you x
 
Oh dear poor Bunny :cry:

I am sure the Vet will do everything possible to help but in advanced cases of Dental abscesses sometimes treatment isnt an option :cry:

Please let us know how your Rabbit gets on
