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.
I do hope she will be able to be kept comfortable for a bit more time yet. Sending lots of vibes xx
Mimzy had an arthritic spine (he was diagnosed with early onset at 3 years) and I think Fiver did too. With Fiver it was worse because he was a mini rex and much more delicate bone wise than Mimzy, a mini lop. Mimzy did well with pain relief for his remaining 7 years. I wouldn't write her off yet, she is always full of surprises. We know she's a terrific fighter. :thumb:
Many many successful treatment vibes and hopes that this is yet just another bump in the road and that Doughnut will be traveling with you many more comfortable years.
