    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.

Cuddles has a mucky bum!

It'll need to be introduced slowly, so start off with just a little mixed up with muesli and gradually increase until they're only on the pellets. They will get used to them eventually. Burgess excel with mint seems to be especially nommy to bunnies and is nutritionally balanced. Muesli is awful.

Agree with everything :thumb:
 

Cuddles is back from the vets!
He had a thorough check-up including his teeth (front and back). All A-Ok, no problems.

The vet said exactly what you guys said; he's a little bit overweight and probably cannot reach his bottom area to clean.

Short-term solution: continue to check everyday and clean if necessary.
Long-term solution: cut down on the daily feed!

Both Cuddles and Clover already have access to unlimited hay and we feed them lots of greens, so cut down muesli to begin and then substitute with pellets.

Other than carrying a little extra weight, Cuddles is in rude health!!

Thanks for all the advice guys :D:D
