  • 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.

Help! Crusted nose and eyes on my rabbit.

Your Rabbit needs to be seen by a Vet, even if the Vet is not a 'Rabbit Specialist'

The condition your Rabbit is suffering with may be due to a bacterial or fungal skin infection, possibly secondary to a parasitic infestation- sarcoptic mange maybe. Or maybe ringworm

Without prompt Veterinary treatment your Rabbit will continue to suffer so there really is no other option other than to seek Veterinary advice.
 
Where about are you? Are you in the UK? If so someone maybe able to help find a good vet near to you. If not how far will you need to travel to get to a vet who will see rabbits?
