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.

    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.

raw paws? ):

I've noticed that my rabbit humphrie has been chewing on her front paws and theyre starting to become raw ): I've tried several different things in her cage to see if something would help but nothings changed. I do have a vet appointment but its not for another couple days. Anyone have any advice or insight on why she might be doing this?
 
It sounds as though she has a considerable amount of pain so you need to get her to a Vet today.

Without an accurate diagnosis it is impossible to establish a treatment that will help, but certainly pain relief is an essential.

The problem may be a bacterial skin infection, or the pain may be related to a boney problem- arthritis. Whatever it is, a consultation with a Vet today is the most appropriate course of action

Good luck
