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.

    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.

Update on Leo page4 PTS or keep going? UD he's gone

I'm so very sorry that Leo has gone to the Bridge. :cry: Thinking of you and sending (((((((((hugs))))))) xxxx
 
Thank you everyone, I am really struggling to come to terms with this loss. I was not expecting what happened, how quickly putting a rabbit to sleep is and what it looks like etc. I am really struggling, doubting myself, feeling guilty, upset and angry. He was only 4 years old. I didn't feel like I said goodbye quick enough

You can't beat yourself up, its always difficult to know when we have to make that awful decision. You did the very best that you were able for Leo and you tried for a lot longer than a lot of people would have, you gave him a fighting chance. Unfortunately we often feel it in ourselves when they have had enough and we have to make the kindest decision for them.

Leo will stay with you, I know all of my pets at the bridge have. :wave:
