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.

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.
Thank you, Pets mum and IM. He's taking a nap now.
He has!He has had a busy day !
Thank you, Omi.I'm pleased they are home and that Casper is OK now.
Aw, I do need a nap. Thank you, really. I will make sure they have a nice evening celebrating.I think you deserve a nap too. I'm very happy they are home & he'd doing so much better I hope they have a nice evening celebrating Sophies birthday
Thank you, Craig. That's really kind of you to say. I do try to get them to the vet as soon as I can when I notice something wrong. Waiting will often just make things worse.I’m pleased to read such a positive update and very well done to you for tuning into Casper and sensing the problem and acting so swiftly. Your swift intervention has certainly helped Casper get prompt attention. Topping up the vibes and hope Casper continues to recover to normal. Xx
Thank you, bunny momma.You did a great job spotting his issue so quickly and getting him straight to the vet.
Sending Casper lots of vibes for continued improvement.
Did Sophie enjoy the attention she must have received at the vets?
Thank you, bunny momma.
I'm not sure if she did! I completely forgot to tell them that it's her birthday and that they should sing "Happy Birthday" to her. To make up for it, I just sang her a birthday song myself, but she seemed very unimpressed and just washed her foot throughout the entire song. To be fair, I'm a very bad singer, so I can't blame her. :lol:

Yeah, I don't think it was a glowing review. :lol: Thank you for the vibes.:lol:I am not the best singer, though church may want to remain virtual, yet no one ever washed their foot while I was singing.!:lol:
Sending more vibes,
Hey, you're right, maybe it wasn't that bad, then. :lol: I'm glad you think she did appreciate it.:lol: at least she didn’t eat caecotrophes and wash her bum :lol: I’m sure she will have appreciated it
Yeah, I do. He usually ignores it, but I'll go put it in the microwave for him. That's a good idea, especially since he was hypothermic yesterday. Thank you for the vibes.Poor Casper. Have you got a snugglesafe or some heat source you could give him? Sending him lots of vibes.
