Gordon is booked at the vets for an X ray UD 12/2 admitted

Thank you again for all your kind words

The diuretic is likely to help him feel alot better. In my experience improvement can be seen in 24 hours. The enalapril will help his heart function, reduce his blood pressure and offer some protection to his kidneys (which can be effected by heart problems). I have had numerous Rabbits with heart failure who have been on both Frusemide and Enalapril and they have all coped really well.

I hope that Gordon will soon be home and that he will feel much more comfortable within himself.

Thank you, that is reassuring to hear. He has been urinating more, and done it on the bed/out the litter tray a few more times which isn't like him so I wonder if I should get his kidneys checked. He had bloods done recently but kidney function wasn't checked. Although I seem to remember it only shows up on blood tests when it has a low function left? Will mention it at the vets anyway.

If he's now weeing outside of his litter tray, it's likely to be the effect of the diuretic. It takes rabbits (and humans!) by surprise with wanting to 'go' more often. I wouldn't worry about that though of course you could get the kidneys checked at a later stage to make sure all is OK.
