    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.

I'm afraid the little fella didn't make a recovery, I took him to the exotic vet who has been treating him on Tues re his weight loss. They did more blood tests but couldn't find the cause of his weight loss, he had lost 20% of his weight although he was always hungry and eating well. The vet thought it was a tumour but said it could be in several places (he used more technical names) and he said Thumper would suffer if they did any more investigating and as he was so thin and weak he wasn't well enough to undertake any more. We made the decision upon his advise and put Thumper to sleep, we took him and have been out tonight to bury him in a special place we know and have planted a baby conifer to mark his grave. This has been very upsetting for myself and Gary we are devestated and miss him so much, he was so special to us.

Thanks for all your help and support. Take good care of them bunnies.

I am so sorry for your loss :cry:

I am sure you did the right thing for Thumper even if it has been so painful for you and Gary :cry:
Thumper is at peace now and in time you will remember all the joy he brought you and not just the heartache losing him has caused.
