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.
Sending loads of vibes for Harry. I would have thought it obvious that metacam would be a help to him. Don't know why some vets have a problem prescribing it.

Thank you guys... I wondered if it was just me being an over anxious bunny slave... I don't want to give meds unnecessarily... But it just seems obvious to me that he needs something. Why is everything such a fight?!
Vegan_Bunny, thank you for this point, I often get flustered when trying to explain stuff so maybe if I write it down, I'll get the point across. Thanks for mentioning, my argument will be stronger. :thumb:
Yaaaaay! You got the meds!! Phew :thumb: that's will help, and it makes you feel like your doing something to help, it's so hard to watch them go through this
What lovely little gifts :lol:
But did I really need to go through all that... Is metacam some kinda gold dust?! (Vegan_Bunny, if you are reading, I did write everything down in a notebook like you said you do, and it took me awhile to build myself to phone the vets, sooooo phone shy but long story short, I was made to feel like I was asking for unnecessary meds :?)
You're right, at least I can feel I'm helping him and not leaving him to suffer. Like I've said, if it was us hoomins dealing with all that, we would be demanding meds.
They really are lovely gifts aren't they? me and Harry going to enjoy them this eve, once I've got the metacam in him. Hmmm, this will be interesting... I've never had to give meds to a bunny before... There's a syringe thingy wot not with it so I'm telling myself it can't be too difficult....
:shock::lol:
