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.

Hi
Yes my vet is very good, he was sent home with gut stimulants, no pain meds, he has had skull xrays in the past and today and stomach xray today. The thing is he is eating at the vets but not at home, odd, but if he is on painkillers at vets he will be able to eat. I only had loxicom at home which I gave him but it made no difference. I have tried all sorts, I get lots of forage because of his teeth, tried lots of soft veg herbs etc, soft pellets. Will get update tomorrow.
