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.

Absolutely right. If there is any change in yiur rabbits behaviour what so ever, I would say to take them to the vets.

Rabbits are prey animals, therefore dont show pain or weakness. So for a rabbit to be showing pain by not eating it mus be serious.

Hope this helps xx
 
Yes! It was completely and utterly the right thing to do!! If she can't find a syringe then she could try spooning it, if he'll lick it off the spoon.
 
You did exactly the right thing, but even if it was 'over concern' does it matter? Far better to be over concerned/cautious than under cautious and cause the bunny suffering.

I think you know this though :)
