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.
Thank you so much everyone. I am touched by your caring words.
We're trying to decide when to help her go. We are partly tempted to give her the weekend so she can go back 'home' outside for a few days and enjoy the great dental work Sonya gave her.
I have never had a pet PTS before and am wondering the 'funeral' side of things. Is cremation an option? Do we lat her to rest in our garden? Would appreciate some advice on that front as I have no idea.

Thank you so much for the advice everyone.
I think I will probably go with burial because I really like the idea of laying her to rest in the place she finally found some happiness. Her first real home. I love the idea of planting a bush in her honour.
She seems quite okay right now - it's hard to believe that this is goodbye. I really wasn't expecting this to be the outcome

Thank you for your kind word and suggestions everyone.
We've decided to give her the weekend to enjoy some final days in 'Plumpkin's Palace' with the gang.
I really appreciate all of the support I've had from RU. I'm really glad that I found this forum. I've learnt so much from everyone here and appreciate the friendship more than I can say.
