Slipper's munching Mr Bunnies back!

New Kit
Mr Bunnie has a little sore onhis back created by Slipper (his girlfriend bunnie) licking it until a sore was formed and she won't leave it alone. Does anyone know of anything we can put on it that's safe but doesn't taste good so she won't like it and it heals.
 
You could try olbas oil or vicks vapour rub.

First however I would trim the fur away and covering it over with a bandage/plaster so she cannot antagonise it further and so that the vicks/olbas is not in diorect contact with the broken skin.

Do they have plenty of chew toys and hay to play with and eat?

Has Slipper had a dental check recently?

yes they have loads of hay and chew toys. Slipper did go to vet recently with eye infection and vet checked teeth then and said they're not too bad. she's had some really good eye drops that've cleared up her eye really well. she seems obsessed with licking this part of his back into a sore. I'll try the Olbas oil though sounds like a good idea. Thanks. will feedback results.
