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.
Do you live in the UK? Because it depends based on your location.
Then currently there's two different vaccinations per year which are essential for your rabbit to have. There's recently been a combined vaccination made where it is possible for your rabbit just to have one vaccination which protects them against myxomatosis, rhd1 and rhd2. Not all vets will have this yet, I suggest you call your vet and ask what they have available. It's extremely important though that your rabbit is fully vaccinated whether they have the 2 separate vaccinations or the new combined one that covers all 3. Prices will vary too, so ringing your vets and asking will be the best way to find out.
