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.
Well I struggled to get ahold of the vet after she was prescribed them (they were posted out) so I just kept going until I ran out which was about a month. I will keep an eye on her and take her to the vet if needed
Thank you everyone. She seemed fine again until the beginning of this week she kept coughing and didn’t seem right. I took her to the vet on Tuesday and she was put back on antibiotics, the vet said he was still concerned about her heart but the tests came back ok so I was going to take her back on Monday to see how she was doing then.
Yesterday she didn’t seem herself and wasn’t eating, she perked up by the afternoon but she still wasn’t eating so I took her back to the vets. She was admitted along with Felix to keep her company. They think there’s fluid around her heart. I haven’t heard anything yet this morning but I’m really worried. I didn’t think she’d be admitted at first so I just handed her over I didn’t say goodbye or anything and I keep thinking what if she’s passed away over night or something. All worst case scenario I know but my minds gone into overdrive! I’m hoping to hear this morning
The vet phoned, she’s a lot brighter today but they want to keep her in another night. I’m not sure what’s going on exactly but she’s in the best place and being a lot brighter is a step in the right direction!
