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.
I don't know what to do I don't know whether to stress him out with the emergency vet or wait. He seems to have lost control over his bowels and bladder tonight
Such a difficult decision. Would your specialist be able to see him earlier / tomorrow? If you call specialists as OOH who does it get diverted to? Because of his other health problems I'd really want his expert vet to see him if possible. If he is lethargic or out of sorts OOH but if he is still bright, eating & drinking I'd try & hang on til morning. Of course the decision is so much harder cos if its EC related it can be exacerbated by stress. Good luck with a really hard decision
Could you not ring Anton and have a video/ zoom appointment?
He’s quite active - woke us up this morning by jumping on the bed. We left the door open last night as he seemed to want to only sit with us in our room. He ate a load more parsley around 12.30am but isn’t interested in much else. He’s nibbled a few mint leaves. Going to ring the vet as soon as they open.

Maybe last night's 'episode' was an angina attack ?
Sending lots more vibes for him
