    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.

Not sure what is wrong with bunny.

Hello sweeps vet just phoned shes had all xrays done checked bladder fine no calcium stones she seems to have all clear im pleased. Vet noticed one thing with her bones on scan they look more white then normal she needs more calcium so lots of broccoli turnip and kale so good news. Thanks for all your help and suggestions rabbit's arent easy pets ecespecially when you suspect illness.


Just to add that pellets are also a very good and concentrated source of calcium, as is alfalfa hay :D
 
She's back home now after 3 days bit sleepy after anaesthetic, you do miss them when there not at home. Vet said if I am still bit worried about her I could try metacam but she said see how she settles back at home. Guess sometimes the cold can get in bunnies bones as well as ours.

Yes I think you're right. I had no heating or hot water a couple of weeks back (for over a week) and I couldn't get warm however many layers I put on.

Poor wee mite. I hope she feels better soon x
