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.

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.
Thank you for all the vibes. The vet phoned just as I got out my hospital appointment. Boo is eating on her own but hasn’t pooped, and has pulled out the line for fluid every time it gets put in so she is getting subcutaneous fluids just now. They have done a conscious X-ray, which didn’t show up anything, and they didn’t mention the bloods. The vet said she wants to continue monitoring Boo until mid afternoon to before she decides whether D1ck vets will be needed.

So far, I have to collect Boo at 6:45 to bring her home for the night. My vet has been in touch with D1ck vets but she is still waiting for someone to get back to her. While Boo is eating a little, she hasn’t made any improvement during the day and is still not pooping.
I have needed to separate her from her partner while she is at the vet because he is a very nervous bun and usually stops eating if he stays with her. I don’t know what to do if she has to go to D1ck vets since she might be there for a bit longer. Does anyone have any advice with what would be best?
Any update on boo? Xx

Thank you for thinking about Boo. Sorry for not updating sooner. Boo came home last night, and passed some poops just before she was discharged!
She has been eating her greens since she has been back, and spitting out her medicine! Thankfully, she is brighter than she was yesterday morning.
The plan was to have her referred to D1ck vet today if I was concerned about her. So far though, she seems to be slowly on the road to recovery.
