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.

Thankfully I have not had a fussy eater regarding hay (or anything !!) for many years, but despite paying a lot for some of the 'posh' hays all 6 of my current Rabbits prefer cheap baled hay bought from a farm :roll: It costs about a fiver for a 20kg bale.
How much does Knox weigh? Sorry for all the qs, just trying to help. 2 tbs pellets plus other things might just be enough to prevent him from eating the hay.

He went into hospital yesterday at about 6pm. He was more and more lethargic so I rushed him in. The vets has been syringe feeding him but still no poos. Hopefully have him home tomorrow
Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that he is still very poorly. Are the Vets running any diagnostics at this stage ?
Sending Knox loads of vibes. I hope he improves enough soon so that he can come home.
Same here. I'm confused though this is a month almost exactly to the day that it last happened. I am wondering whether company would stop it...

Does Dental count as a pre existing condition for insurance purposes?
