A question that seems to appear a lot over in 'Health' Personally I think that if you are asking yourself that question the answer is almost certainly 'yes'.
Thing is that most of us on here are not Vets and even if more of us were we still could not give a definitive diagnosis from symptoms posted on a Forum. A physical 'hands on' examination can give A LOT more information than just trying to piece together vague symptoms, many of which could apply to a multitude of problems.
Really sorry if this thread causes offense, it is not my intention to get up everyones noses. But it really is important that we all remember that how ever good RU is for advise and support we are not a substitute for a Veterinary Consultation. Yes, there are still too many non Rabbit savvy Vets. Maybe it would be a good idea to find out if your Vet is Rabbit Savvy BEFORE they are needed.
I guess I will be on a few more members 'Ignore List' after this post, but if just one Bun benefits then I can live with being persona non grata.
