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.

It brings joy to my heart to hear your lovely boy is continuing to improve.
It amazes me that Tulip is resistent to going home at night without Pepper to keep her company. He must give her a lot of comfort ,especially at night.
Sending you all lots of positive thoughts.

the vet was very pleased with him
she said the wound from his op was healing well and his overall status was good he doesn't need to have any further check-ups unless something gives cause for concern :thumb:
he was 1.56kg 8 days ago. he is now 1.4kg, but 'only to be expected'.
he is due vaccinations but she said to wait 2 or 3 weeks as he has been very poorly
she agreed that while it's so cold outside, he is still recovering & he is due vaccinations the best plan is to keep him inside for another week or so. depending on the weather he may need a source of warmth in his accommodation.
panic nearly over

Is Pepper enjoying his life as an indoor bunny? How is Tulip doing without Pepper to keep her out of trouble?

sorry i missed your posts Craig & Bummy Momma.
I can't believe it. Pepper's at the vets again, same issue - bloated hard stomach & very high blood glucose (18 iirc).
I've said to them to do whatever they can short of surgery as I don't think that's a realistic option.
I've got a feeling that even if not this time that this problem is going to do him in at some point in the future. He's only just 3 years old

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear he's ill again, Mike. Poor little Pepper... Sending him so many vibes. It's so sad that he keeps being ill like this.

thank you.
he is such a dear little boy. doesn't deserve this and i hate to think if his last hours are at the vet's rather than where he loves to be.
he was fine yesterday during the day but thought he may have been a little off colour when i put them in their shed for te night.
this morning i could see no pellets eaten from last night & very subdued.

You're so right that he doesn't deserve this.
I hope he'll be back home with you soon, feeling better. Right now he's at the right place, where they can care for him best, but I hope he can come home soon.
