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.
Hi, just a query I seem to have a very sleepy bunny at the moment, he's moulting loads and just seems a bit more sleepy than usual. He's eating loads, poo-ing normally but even though he's drinking normally he doesn't seem to be doing many wees however....could this just be the summer and the warmer weather... just checking (as I worry about the little guy) what you guys think....? Thank you!
Thanks so much Mighty Max! 13!! thats amazing!! Obi is only 1 and a bit, but he certainly is a sleep boy at the moment, he has been having a mega moult though. Even though he' a house bun, I worry about flystrike as I can't check him because he doesn't do being picked up, but having the windows open I've noticed a few flies about....and then I'm always making sure he's happy as he's solo bun...worry, worry worry....
