    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.

Conjestive Heart Failure......

Wise Old Thumper
Hi all. 2 weeks ago I lost David (see pic) to Congenital Conjestive Heart Failure. He had been on medication (two diuretic injections a day and a drug called 'Fortekor' to keep his blood pressure down). But eventually my little man's heart could just not cope any more. Am wandering if anyone else out there has a bun on treatment for heart disease. I also found out how EXPENSIVE a referral to a heart specialist can be.......over £800!! JCO
