Have you ever done it?
I also want to make it totally clear that I'm not suggesting anyone go against vets advice, and definitely not without discussing it with the vet first.
Its something I have been thinking about recently. I have done twice, but bearing in mind that we are at the vets nearly every week, often more than once a week for something, that's not much. It involved two different rabbits and was related to both of them being PTS (separate situations, separate circumstances). I did discuss it with the vet and explained why I was making that particular decision and he understood why and we set some ground rules. In those situations though, I was right and the vet agreed at a later date (he knew I was seeing things in the rabbits that he couldn't see at the vets, hence why he took the risk to trust me).
I just wondered if anyone else had? And if they felt with hindsight it was right, or if they should have listened to the vet?
