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.

Rabbit bloat - what should I do?

:wave: count me in. Mind you,its a better (less embarassing )reason than being too scared to leave them:oops:

Pleased Ham responded so well to his meds x


Yep , 5 and a half years I went with no holidays - max one day away from them - I too was too scared to leave them !!! Plus I would have missed them too much !

I know, like I would dare to go on holiday anyway. I can't even go out for a day!

I've done 20 years with no break, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I am wondering how much longer I can go on!

That's admirable Tonibun. Would you like to get away IF (& I realise that is a massive if) they had suitablly loving & experienced carers?
When we have a day out we tend to centre it around wildie watching :lol: Is it just rabbits that absorb themselves in to every fibre of your being? If I had cats or dogs or guineapigs or pigeons would I feel the same ?(genuine question BTW, I had multi pets as a kid but as an adult only bunnies).

Sorry for the slight thread de-railment

I have chinchilla, doggy and two hamsters and I don't feel as scared of leaving them.

I think bunnies are more of a worry because they get up to things they shouldn't and can turn poorly or get stressed very easily. Why do we do this to ourselves

Yes, I think I should start taking things a bit easier and if there were lovely homes I would be happy to let them go. There is a lady down the lane and she has a passion for cats. She has nearly 20 and they have a big room and enclosures in the garden. No roaming about. The donkey lady had a passion for Donkeys.
