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.
She stopped eating again last night and has only eaten a sprig of parsley this morning. She seems very withdrawn and depressed.
She's on maximum doses of metacam, tramadol, emeprid and ranitidine.
I'm going to try and give her some critical care and the fence arrives today so I'm hoping being close to obi will help her feel better but I think we have reached the end of the road for her.
I am so glad I didn't take her in to be put to sleep yesterday. She's like a new rabbit this morning.
About 3am she started using my face as a platform to jump on and off the bed and she's been thundering up and down the landing this morning.
I am truly in disbelief. It was about 30 hours of her looking completely withdrawn and dispondant despite medication. I didn't understand how she could then just flip a switch and be good again. Not just a bit of improvement but back to her happy bouncy self.
Thank you all for your support. It was so lovely to wake up to your messages.
