My bunny Joey had a wee sore patch on his back just between his shoulder blades. I took him to the vet last week and they said it was a wound from crawling under something. So I assumed it was his log tunnel and modified it so he can get through easier.
Anyway, the vet gave me some Dermisol cream to apply twice a day for 5 days which I did. But although the wound has healed Joey now has a big bald patch where I applied the cream. I called the vet and he said that I should leave him for a bit and if the fur doesn't start to grow back then I have to take him back in. Joey doesn't seem at all bothered by it, he is eating, pooing and playing as usual. He just looks a bit funny. And I can now see wee patches of black fur coming back through.
Has this ever happened to anybun else? Do you think it's the Dermisol cream or is there anything else that could cause it.
The wound was about half the size of a pinky finger nail but the bald patch is a wee bit bigger than the size of a tea light candle. Any ideas?
I was thinking that maybe the Dermisol irritated him as he always scratched a wee bit after I put it on. Do you think the scratching has caused him to go bald!!?
