Thanks all, we've just dropped her off, they are going to get her on some oxygen and try to stabilise her breathing.

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.

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 mentioned it last night to the on call vet. But it was a nurse that took her in to the vet as they have implemented a wait in car distancing policy right now. They are an exotics specialist so I would hope they would give her the best treatment available. �� Oh I should add that I believe that the head of practice, who saw her yesterday and who was on call, was also in today.
There is no improvement. The vet has said we have reached the end of the road and has recommended euthanasia. We are waiting to hear back when we can go up to be with her. I am devastated ������
Thank you. This was Sprocket's second wife bun. He's going to be 10 this year. He and Fizzgig lived outside in a kennel/aviary. Given fizzgig's illness recently we were advised to keep them indoors. So as Sprocket has been moulting now I am going to keep him as a house bunny especially as I am now working from home until the crisis is over. He will get run time on the lawn in the garden. In the current climate our local rescue is not adopting. But I am not sure I will be adopting another bun for him anyway given his age.
