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.
. I saw a different vet this morning but he knew all about her as Kevin had discussed her case with him previously. Yes, the nodules are back , but for the moment he wants to try her on a 5 day course of Batryl in case it is some other viral pox she's developed. He doesn't want to put her on the Flagyl at the moment , but if the nodules spread or start appearing around her nostrils and mouth , or if her eyes begin to look affected I've to whip her straight back there and they'll arrange to do a biopsy. Her temperature and other vitals are absolutely normal and over all she appears to be a very healthy bun, apart from the nodules that is!! He checked bournville over and he is bump -free. So fingers crossed the Baytril might nip whatever it is in the bud. ) until I know the cause.
