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.
Just seeing this. No advice but wanted to send lots of vibes for you and poor Doughnut. I hope all will be well. xxxx
Mark thinks she may have a UTI starting so I've got sulfatrim. She's also to have her four other medicines for a week and I go back to him next Tuesday. He will give her the second RHD2 vaccine then if she is well enough. I did say I had changed her hay, she now has the timothyhay.co.uk in a bale with another hay and I wondered if that had upset her digestion. He said it may have done but to carry on with it and see what happens this week. I'm not to give her any grass or anything fresh just her muesli and hay as normal.

I know. Trouble is she loves fresh stuff that's why grass is a treat for her since she doesn't have anything fresh and as we know they go off pellets when unwell and hay doesn't tempt her. Never mind get there in the end hopefully. I feel sad that I can't ever give her stuff she loved so much like veg and herbs and fenugeek crunchies.

I've only given her a bit of grass to encourage her to eat but I've cut that out now. She's always had timothy hay from Wilko and the hay with the rose petals in it and been fine on it but I ordered some other timothy hay which is a lot fresher and greener and nice and stalky. I've now cut this out. I don't think she is allowed anything fresh at all.
This morning she was really unwell. No throat rubbing but just lying on her fleece not moving, she certainly had tummy ache. Wouldn't take her medicine so had to load up two syringes full with the 5 medicines then try and catch her. Little monkey she keeps going under the table and I go one side and she goes the other then I go round the other and she bounces back to the other side again! She's so hard to catch and did quite a bit of running so I felt she's not at her worst. Got all the medicines in and an hour later she's eating her muesli and had a little bit of hay. I've had to work from home again as couldn't leave her but luckily they know I'm having treatment for my knee and it needs resting so has worked out well. I wouldn't go to work not know if the medicine has kicked in and she's eaten anything. I'm going to see what happens and if she's fine by Friday add some of the hay back in to see if she goes downhill again so I know whether to just go back to the same stuff as before and give the 10kg to an animal rescue.

We've got one out, it's been dormant in semi-bud since mid Jan but popped last week and is pretty much in full flower now. Ours never fully finish! Petals are pretty rich though :SShame there's no roses in bloom - mine love the rose petals even when dried.
