I feel that rabbit health and welfare is evolving all the time now and as more is discovered on what works then an open mind is a good thing. After all, go back a year and most people did not use infacol for bloat, who discovered that infacol works in fact, or buscopan, an item for IBS is, it seems working a treat on bunnies, Septrin, another childs medication which is also working on rabbits when baytril is failing. Manuka honey, sudocrem, the list is endless to what is being used on rabbits today
. You only have to go back as far as the start of this forum to see how far it has evolved and I dont think any of these items have been tested on rabbits to know they are safe so some-one is experimenting somewhere or getting the advice from somewhere:lol: :lol:
Lets face it, most people who have children know what infacol or sudocrem is, those who have no children wouldn't know these items so it is a good thing that they are directed in the right way of finding them
A few months ago, it was discovered by wallnutwhip that goats milk was a better substitute to hand rear baby buns compared to what everyone was buying and that mum tends to not eat prior to the birth, how would any of us of knsuccess than the substitute milk from the vets or pet shops.
own this, she has given excellent advice from her experiences and judging by those who heeded her advice on the goats milk, it has been more of a success.
I suppose I am more inclined to keep and open mind now as most vets are still learning more and more about rabbits and who knows, in a few months time we might be being advised by our vets to give live yoghurt and not to waste our money on the manaufactueres pre/probiotic's
