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.

So sad this evening major in pain :(

I feel so sick and can stop shaking :(
Just injected major pushed the needle into the scruf of his neck no problems then he move and I thought the needle came out a bit so I pulled his skin up and push it in a tiny bit more he was still fine.I push the medication in but the plunger was really stiff so I pulled it back no blood ran into the syringe and slowly pushed the medication in,major was fine but when I slowly pulled the needle out he started grunting loudly such a horrible sound I panicked with that he streched out his whole body in a funny positon and floped on his side still grunting....His eyes were wide.I put a towel on him my partner was with him when I rang the emergency vet.When I was on the phone he stopped grunting and relaxed him self then sat up.
The emergency vet said I may have gone into his bloodstream (there was also a bit of blood more then what I have seen before).Or she said I may have hit the muscle.
I am confused as it only bothered him as I pulled the injection out.
He is due for the vets tomorrow for a check up......I dont think I will be able to do his injections anymore.
Have this happend to anyone else????
