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.
He is eating loads of hay. Just got him out of cage to do meds and he has eating all his pellets for night aswell. Something he hasn't done in ages!
We put him on a diet as he had a bit of a tummy. He had been on a growth food since a kit and probably eating too much veg so put him on Excel plus cut veggies down and treats. And he is eating everything in sight now and eating much more hay.
Yes two vets said his teeth were fine. Last vet said hooks were just starting on his cheek teeth. So maybe can see how it goes? Don't want him having anaesthetic without good reason.
Baytril course was 10 days so we have another 5 days to go yet. So do you think it would be best to finish this first and arrange check up with vets after Xmas then to discuss if he needs an X-ray?
He is back being a pickle dashing around room and managed to knock a drink off table being nosy already this morning! Hence his name! [emoji23]
We will be sorting out vet insurance as soon as vet says he has the all clear! Not going through this stress again worrying that can't afford to get him best care!!
Thank you for your help. So happy he is looking better again.

Ok thanks for the info.
Still I'm going to insure him for anything else just in case.

Oh really? Was it REALLY fast? His breathing slows down and he seems better and runs around binkying.He is eating well and seems fine otherwise. Then it gets faster again and he seems stressed.I'm really sorry Mischief has had a setback. The accelerated breathing could be pain related as I've seen it with my buns when they've had abdominal pain.
I hope the OOH vet can figure out what's wrong and help Mischief x
