    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.

    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.

Update on Sue

I took Sue to the vet this morning as I was going with my new bun Furby. I wanted to get her weighed.

For those of you who haven't read my earlier thread, Sue has calcification of the kidneys and only half a kidney is working and she lost loads and loads of weight.

I have been giving her high moisture, low calcium foods and the good news is that she hasn't lost any more weight but has actually put some on.,:p:p:p.
I was so pleased I did a little dance in the surgery:oops:

My vet and vet nurse said she seems very bright and agreed she isn't suffering at all. I've put her and Peggy out to free range in the garden - they love that but catching them is a nightmare!

I am realistic - I know Sue isn't going to be around forever - but I am so happy that she hasn't deteriorated but has actually improved. I was terrified she would have lost weight as my vet had intimated that if she did, I needed to think of PTS.

Just wanted to share my good news:love:
 
I can just imagine you doing the little dance. :D

I think I'd have to in this situation. Well done you and keep up the good work.
