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.
Does anyone have any alternative for a snugglesafe heat pad? I don’t own a microwave so I dunno what would be okay…

I would just use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel. Place it so she can move away from it if she wants too x
Thank you. I wasn’t sure if a hot water bottle would be safe or not but I imagine if it’s wrapped up it should be fine.
I will hopefully be taking her home this evening all being well. She started to pass feces at about 4am this morning according to the vet, as well as eat for herself…and is very bright and happy considering everything.

I would aim to keep her separate for at least a couple of days. She needs to rest and heal. It's also easier to monitor her properly. You still have the option of them being close, or to put them together. Leafy may well case her as she will smell different to 'his' Ivy, and she doesn't need the stress.
Sending lots and lots of vibes for Ivy. x
As much as you can…please. I just got a call to ask if they should resus if her heart stops because she’s really deteriorating. I’m absolutely distraught.
