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.

I always get them to do a full M.O.T-
General health check- eyes, nose, ears, jaw bone, skin, fur, bum and tummy.
Teeth check
Weight check
Nail clip if needed
And if I have any questions (of which I have many each time) I write them down so I don't forget then go through them one by one. I am a vets worst nightmare lol
Check teeth - back and front
Check ears
Discuss any ongoing issues or any new niggles. My vaccination cards usually have a post-it note on with a reminder of what to ask about.

I always have a list too , general questions (yesterday I asked for bunny choking 1st aid demo) & ones specific to each bunny. I always have to have the vet explicitly tell me if they are the right weight. Even if their weight is unchanged since their last visit :lol:

I like back and front teeth to be looked at
Weight to be checked
nails to be clipped if needed
stomach and jaw to be felt
skin and ears and eyes to be examined
Heart to be listened to
My vets also check bottoms too
Take a list of any questions you may have and make sure you see a specialist exotics vet.
