    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.

Our old Lady, Treacle- its kidney stones.

Wise Old Thumper
Treacle, out 8.5 year old dwarf lop started peeing a huge amount last week and was constantly wet. The second day we took her to the vet who examined her and treated for cystitis, saying if no better to blood test. She was no better this week so she had blood tests today, but they came back clear. The vet then felt a mass in her abdomen and the concern is either a stone or a tumour. She is back tomorrow for x-rays and if something is found we will operate. Of course if it is a tumour it will not be fair to bring her round if nothing can be done- even if we can remove the stone or tumour, it's a big opnfor an old lady.

Please think of her tomorrow, she is a wonderfully gentle rabbit who sits on the knees of disabled children and snuggles up to them, everybody loves her.

Treacle has kidney stones.
the vet is contacting the vet school to find out what our options are, in honesty we cannot afford an expensive referral, much as it breaks my heart to say so. The vet has said a kidney removal is not an option and hopes to manage it with diet, she will get back to me when she hears back.
