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.
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.
Hi everyone, daisy is still with us. I've offered her water in a syringe and drinking bottle but she didn't want it. She enjoyed me rubbing her face though even though she's very weak.
She seems very sleepy and weak and her ears are still up listening. It's so sad seeing her like this but I can see she knows I love her and she loves me.
I'll try and reply individually later if that's ok, I'm on my phone writing this. Xxxx
Thank you. It's just so hard to know what I'm meant to be doing. I just left her in her box and her little eye was watching as I left. I'm still in my pjs and dressing gown covered in her pee and poop because she can't move to do her business, I've wiped her though. I feel so sorry for her
Hi Might Max, I know. I feel like i need to spend more time with her but I also feel she needs the peace and quiet too to do what she needs to do. I've been trying to read up about animals and passing and a lot seem to believe they don't fear passing like we do. I hope thats true.
Thank you for that. It's just so hard, she knows I love her but it doesn't feel like enough, I want to make it all better for her and I can't. Her breathing is still quite fast.
