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.

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.
Yeah. They didn't get much, but got enough :s apparently she was very good for them (why can't they behave for me?!) Bloods are being sent to the lab, should have results tomorrow.Did they manage to get the blood from the vessel in her ear? :wave:
Hopefully its nothing major then and glad they got the bloods easiliy :wave:Yeah. They didn't get much, but got enough :s apparently she was very good for them (why can't they behave for me?!) Bloods are being sent to the lab, should have results tomorrow.
In the meantime I have one very grumpy bunny!
They're checking liver and kidney function. The vet said that usually rabbits with problems with kidney/liver have lost weight etc. So I'm feeling hopeful that it's not.Hopefully its nothing major then and glad they got the bloods easiliy :wave:
She's in a huff with me, but she always is after a vet visit. I'm winning her round with cuddles on the bed though keeping a close eye on her, measuring how much she drinks, and waiting for her to pee so I can get a sample!hope Marble is OK thinking of you, is she miserable or still causing trouble
Hope bloods come back with a simple fix and nothing horrid, Vibes for Marble

Thank you if it is anything,I've hopefully caught it early!
These animals are such a worry!
Thank youOh no just seen this thread! Fingers crossed its nothing serious x
Exactly and she's taking full advantage of it :lol:Awwww. Her favourite place!!!
Thank you xHope the results come back quickly and it's nothing to worry about. Sending lots of vibes for Marble xx
Thank you!Good luck for the blood results Lots of good vibes winging their way over to you and Marble xx
No need to apologise!! Thanks though ! She's had lots of nose rubs, and cuddles today just want the results now so I know!I'm sorry I missed this tash, hope Marble bunny is ok. Sending (((vibes))) for good news and some (((noserubs))) for Marble.xxx
sending vibes and hoping it's nothing serious. bladder issues can cause excess drinking aswell as they try to flush it through themselves. i notice it's always one of the earliest signs of a uti. but as she's otherwise ok, hopefully it's just her trying to panic you a bit. they certainly like to do that. :roll: x
Thank you
I think the reason they asked for a urine sample is to rule out a UTI? Not entirely sure, but I haven't been able to get one...she went on the towel next to her litter tray after sitting in the litter tray for a while looking confused :roll:
Is it something they can check via blood tests as well?
I think she might just be trying to panic me...it certainly worked :roll::lol:
Will certainly ask, thanks JaneThe Vet may be able to express her bladder to obtain a urine sample
