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.

Hi

I am at my wits end. My 10 year old Rabbit, Zac is not well at all. We took him to the vets on Tuesday because he seemed very subdued and not moving. The vet checked him over and she said he had arthritis and she felt a hard lump in his stomach. She gave us some painkillers for him. But since Tuesday he hasn't really changed he is still subdued and not moving. The thing is he is still eating and drinking, so he is still pooing and weeing as normal which is really good. I just don't know what to do, or wether he is suffering or not or if he is in pain. He hardly moves.
 
Did the vet give you any ongoing pain relief for him?

Did she say what she thought the hard lump was in the stomach? I would probably ask for a second opinion if you were not told what this was and maybe depending on what they say ask for a conscious x-ray.
