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.
Long haired buns? Clipped or naturaly long?

Also he isnt an angora or cashmere just a very woolly lionhead so probably not so bad. As he's getting older his fluff seems to be thinning :?

I keep the Angora bunnies clipped, just cut bits of fur off each week so their coat never gets tangled or out of control.
I never brush the Angoras, just finish off combing with my fingers after they have been clipped.
The bunnies soon get into a routine and are quite happy for me to trim them, and lie on their backs with their paws in the air whilst I do my stuff with the scissors : :shock: lol: :lol: :lol:
I used to groom the Angoras but they just became stressed and I kept pulling the fur as much as I tried not to, so I invested in some safety scissors instead!!

With the gorgeous Cashmere Lop a good coat will not need a great deal of grooming as the longer guard hairs on top prevent matting. Angoras as has been stated often have their coat clipped whereas Cashmere Lops do not.
