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.
have to admit since Atticus (he has megacolon) strips and eats about 10 sticks a day he's been a lot better in himself - so will keep trying to tempt her with those xx 
So is it the crude fibre I'm looking at? And what's the 'beneficial fibre'? That excel are talking about? [emoji38] xx

Yes thank you
Ah does she?! Fleurs always done it, Im starting to wonder if there's something more going on here in Fleurs case anyway - does Boo ever suffer with stasis?

Yes I've been looking at that thank you
I'm wondering if the beneficial fibre is irrelevant... Wish she'd eat the fibre first [emoji38] xx

Saw William, isn’t the best news.
He felt her stomach area etc said he couldn’t feel anything unusual, took an xray she has quite a bit of gas in her large intestine – not really sure why – but he said he can’t operate on the large intestine, he’s never had a rabbit survive it – he said he could open her up and see if there’s any adhesions – anything stuck together that he could release but as she doesn’t do so well with surgery that would be the last resort. She’s now on Baytril and Emeprid aswell as the Loxicom and Cisapride and he said to feed her as much as possible with CC. If she doesn’t improve by next Monday (or gets worse before then) then he’ll operate and see if there’s anything that can be done.
Pretty upset, not feeling very positive – just gotta keep going with it all and hope.
Thanks everyone so far for your support, any suggestions or ideas let me know
Yes that's true gah I hope she's just being a huge pain in the butt and it'll pass. I'm really glad I saw William too, he said we could take bloods next too but I'm now kinda wishing I'd had them done today, he didn't suggest it, but at least we'd have more information
Really don't wanna let her down xx

William doesn't think it'll work in Fleurs case unfortunately xx
He didn't no, I just rang the vets and the veterinary nurse told me not to Google stuff because she has everything she needs... So that's brilliant... [emoji38]
Yea maybe... Williams great - but some of the veterinary nurses aren't very nice always, I guess they're just busy there's a few there that're really lovely though. I'm going to see how she goes today.
Thank you I really hope so xx
makes me wonder if spaying is the best idea - never thought I'd be thinking that :/ she's only about 8 months old xx
about the thought of her undergoing major gut surgery or worse.
