  • 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.

Alfred bunny at emergency hospital.

I assume they did a full blood profile, not just check blood glucose ?

If he has not improved at all after 12 hours at home I would get him back to the Vet. Sometimes an obstruction can start to move, but then get stuck again further along the GI tract. This leads to a build up of gurgling gas behind it and a recurrence of bloating. Hence Xrays are often needed to monitor exactly what is going on. With a BG of 23 personally I would expect an X-ray to be taken at the outset. But that is just my unqualified opinion.

Really hope he has shown signs of improvement by now.
