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 decided to take insurance out last Friday as it may be something costly or ongoing - not that i mind paying for his treatment at all but it doesnt grown on trees does it
Mikeymoo said:Mikey has a tooth root abcess He is going to be operated on tomorrow and have x-rays done. Im so upset my poor baby. The vet said that the outlook was not great and that Mikey wouldnt be an elderly rabbit
He also said that the insurance wouldnt cover it and would be £130
