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 everyone for your kind posts. It's so lovely knowing you all understand. For the first time in nearly 9 years I didn't need to get up early to give her her medicine. I hate it. I want to see that little face that I kissed so often. It's unbearable. Everyone is there for me. Coming round to keep me company and calling but I feel lonely. I know it will get better and I'll stop crying eventually. I can't eat or sleep.
I'm wondering if getting another bunny hopping around may help. Not to replace her as I would wait a while but to have a purpose and someone to give nose rubs to.
Sending loads of hugs. Regarding getting another bunny, this is a very personal decision and there will be lots of different views. It certainly would not be wrong nor considered in any way that you were replacing Doughnut. Also in my view any bunny would have a wonderful home with you
