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.

With regards to litter trays. I use for my little old lady (approx 12year), a small plastic cat bed, which is lower on one side, and also a carrier with the top half taken off stuffed with hay. I've also been supplementing/swapping some her pellets (Science selective) with Pro-Fibre pellets.

I second the snugglesafes.

My sister in laws elderly boy absolutely adored them even as an indoor lionhead.

He would curl around them in the day and sleep directly planted on them at night (wrapped in thick fleece) as he was tiny.

Primrose also used to rest her chin on them when her teeth started bothering her.

She literally ignores her snugglesafe and purposefully sits the other side of the room!!! Most expensive floor decoration i ever bought [emoji23][emoji23]

I use a dog bed for my arthritic bun and recently use folded blanket by its entrance to reduce the hop in further. My bun is on metacam & I give Oxbow Joint Support tabs twice daily. I'd been using these for a couple of years - was unsure if they helped until we ran out & there was a huge deterioration.

Heat sources !! My bun cuddles the radiator & spoons her snugglesafe, I think they are a big comfort to her old bones

I started the oxbow joint support tabs before xmas... Good to know they have an effect as its hard to tell!

Some buns like a plastic hot water bottle wrapped in blankets to snuggle instead that might be worth a try?
