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.
any ideas ?

I,ve just put their supper in and thats occupied him . I,ve had to separate them as gizzy wasn,t only trying to mount him but he was also giving him a hand getting to the stitches. Gizzy has got his stitches out . he done that at the vets . He,s ok tho and he,s not bleeding :?
what a nightmare Gina :shock:
I've heard that a clean tea towel held in place with the leg of a pair of cut up tights (ie tube of nylon) is a good bandage - but I guess he'll chew through a bandage pretty quick too.
Did the vet use invisible stitches? My vet says she uses a stitch at a time, rather than a continuous line of stitching, so that if they pull one they don't pull the lot out - and they are internal with the knot inside so nothing to grab onto.
Hope he gets too tired to chew soon - maybe it's irritating him if it's getting infected? Has he had antibiotics? I've got to go feed the 27 beasties now - hope someone can help
I,ve got them both in the bedroom right beside my bed . I,ll check them every half hour , even if it means putting my alarm on so it goes off every half hour during the night .
