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.
Sorry to hear this, when is his next blood test ?
Sending more vibes for him x
Back from the vets, they fitted me in as soon as they opened.
He’s not lost any weight and he looks healthy from the outside so that’s a positive. The vet suggested a blood test straightaway but said he wants to send it off to the lab so they can do full blood work including kidney, liver and glucose, so we’re back tomorrow evening so they can get a fresh sample. If he behaves long enough to get a good sample they’ll test for EC too :lol: which would be good to get a definitive answer on that.
The vet said to stop the electrolytes til tomorrow as he wants to get a true picture of what Phillip’s body is doing. Also that could be increasing his thirst as well since that’s gotten worse since the electrolytes started.
Hopefully the blood test results will be back by Wednesday morning so it’s just waiting for those as a first step.
