  • 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.

I did not have to make the decision this morning. The phone rang just as I was leaving for work to say she had died in the night. I was just not expecting that as when I phoned last night they said she seemed OK and was being syringe fed and taking it ok. I asked for a post Mortem as I needed answers. The vet phoned my husband this afternoon to say it was a uterine tumour and had signs on her intestine. Her teeth were fine. So he puts her death down to the tumour. Thanks so much for your replies. I have to accept she has gone and nothing will change that.x

I am so sorry :cry:
 
Thank you for your kindness. She was the gentlest, kindest rabbit I have owned. She would sit and lick my hands when I stroked her and never tired of attention. In the 3 years, she never once nipped or grunted. She will always be in my heart.
The only good thing to come out of it is the vet said he is now going to advise all rabbit owners to have females spayed. Quite worrying he hasn't been already doing that. I think that says a lot about his rabbit knowledge so will be changing vets as there were a few things he said that did not ring true in her treatment. And you need to have trust in the vet don't you? X
