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.

Thanks, it's not on it, but I will keep an eye on him. I so want to get him a more secure run, but the garden owners are not so keen. Perhaps this incident will help my cause.

hi susie, i also have a berberis bush in my garden, my pair have had a nibble at it (well quite a big nibble actually) when they had free time in the garden, they were both fine
Thanks, that's reassuring about your buns being OK. Apparently it can be poisonous but only if eaten in large quantities. The leaves are jaggy so I can't understand why he would have thought they would be good to eat. :roll: I suppose the fact the bush is just outside his normal reach was an incentive.

your welcome, i know what you mean, i did have a holly bush in the garden, but that has now gone (they went for that aswell but i managed to stop them, come spring when the weather warms up and they start having free time outside again going to look at all the plants and dig up any that might harm them
I won't be able to do that ... it's not my garden! Any free range time will have to be closely supervised - my parents have a rhododendron bush and I know they are definitely poisonous.
