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.

Anyone used this for sludge issues? Got any pros or cons? Or opinions? :)

I'd be concerned about trying it. In humans, the calcium and magnesium relationship is crucial to the way the heart works, so I assume it's the same for rabbits. Also, magnesium supplements can cause diarrhoea in humans.

Ah I didn't know that, thanks :)

I remember when I looked into the calcium and magnesium content of veg years ago (for piggies), I came up with coriander and savoy cabbage as being pretty balanced in both.
