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.

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.
I know jayne I'm sorry I'm just having a panic attack. I really don't want to loose her, her and Toby are my world :, (She is now receiving A* Veterinary care, of course you are worried, but there is every chance that she will be able to recover. Ingesting fur is 'normal' for Rabbits, their own and that of their companions. So try not to second guess what has happened (easier said than done, I know). Hopefully you'll hear from the Vet again very soon xx

Hmm I know. Her glucose count is back down to normal. I am wondering if she just had gas?So glad to hear this
Of course a blockage crossed my mind the minute you mentioned the glucose score, but I didn't mention it because why have you worried over something that may not be, and isn't, the case?
I am delighted to bits with your news and hope she recovers nicely

I am glad you kept a clear head and got her to the vet, the last thing I would want is for you to panic

Yes, ingesting fur is normal and a part of being a rabbit. I know how you are feeling though and will be going through everything in your mind.
As you know Tethra is currently by himself and I have noticed he has had a few poos strung together in the last couple of days. I immediately start beating myself up for not getting him some friends. We do this to ourselves don't we. But the fact is that if he had a friend, he could have ingested their fur instead.
Sending millions more vibes for Millie and hugs for you.
She's a year and a half now and never has any problems with her tummy before. I have infacol at home and metacam but didn't want to attempt massages incase it was some sort of blockage. They want to know now weather to take more bloods and full body x rays to see if some sort of other problem caused the stasis. Or when she poops she will just go him with the usual tummy meds. I'm not sure what to do? I don't want her to have GA if it was gas? Xx
