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.

Do make sure you won't get too low on the calcium.. You don't want to give them too much, but not enough can cause serious problems too.

These would be legume hays such as alfalfa, pelleted feed high in calcium (most have a fair amount so I would reduce pelleted feed anyway unless bun is unable to maintain weight), parsley, kale, spinach, carrot tops, watercress and dandelions :wave:
If there is a history of renal issues as well I would be inclined to reduce oxalates and phosphorous rich veg also such as beet leaves, banana, carrot and tomatoes.
