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.
Hi, Thank you for your responses she has eaten some carrot, which is a relief. I have pain relief which I can give her tomorrow. She is just laying there at present looking very very unhappy. I had no idea just how major an operation it is; apparently they take everything out. She looked like she can't use her back legs very well when she went into the cage.
Hopefully the shaking may be annoyance as it was after I stroked her if I think about it, I think she just wants to be left alone, and I have done that now, but she just feels so cold, her ears are freezing. She has eaten no hay and no food though.
She lives indoors for the winter. Not sure how to warm her up: (just put the heating on I suppose?) Too late for pets at home.I was thinking would maybe a good idea to put her cage back in same room as other rabbits now. I took her out because having a female was making the boys a bit nasty. I think it would make her feel less alone and make sure she doesn't give up? I am fairly new to rabbits.
I have a hot water bottle, shall I wrap it in something and put it near her?
