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 give Jack his from a 1ml syringe and then give him his daily portion of Porridge Oats. With dogs/cats it is more important to give the Metacam with food due to the risk of GI irritation/ulceration. But as buns should always have food in their tums it is not such an issue. I just keep a close eye on any Bun on oral NSAIDs to make sure their appetite is not decreasing. Haven't had any probs yet!! And Jack appears to like the taste of Metacam too :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: Hope your poor Jacks nose gets better soon. Jane and Buns xx He's on metaclopromide AND liquid paraffin but he has to go for a check-up tomorrow afternoon so we'll see what they decide then. :wink:
