    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.

    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.

Dara is showing signs of responding to treatment now. She is still not well, but her blood glucose is down from 15 to 8 and she has a few gut sounds. Her abdomen isn’t guarding when palpated. Still no input or output yet though x
 
Wow. No wonder you were worried. Glad to hear things are going the rightway now. RU vibes can work wonders
 
Over the last hour Dara has eaten some Cavolo Nero for herself and now she is sitting in their poo corner with a very determined look on her little face. I am hoping to see a few poops when she moves away. I don’t care how small they are, as long as there are some.

Blood glucose now 6, good gut sounds and on palpating her abdomen there’s no tenderness or guarding. Her stomach is no longer bloated and she has some poop in her intestines. So things are definitely moving in the right direction.

Thank you for all the vibes xx
