    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.

Rabbit eating pellets but off hay

Just to update you all because you've all been so helpful. I left Dust with a huge pile of hazel, hawthorn and bramble leaves last night and that seems to have got his gut going again because he was back to normal this morning and back on the hay! So I've cancelled the vet for this morning as it was an emergency clinic but if I see any signs of him going off food again I'll get him back in straight away. Conclusion: probably the peanuts!

Phew, lets hope that all will remain well now !

Those peanuts may have proved to be somewhat costly :shock:

Good to her all is well .. pesky peanuts! :roll:
 
That must be a relief. At least you know a good specialist should you ever need them in the future. Fingers crossed you don't
