The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Urine Scald!

Argh typical bunnies get ill at once :(
Blitzen was ill a while ago and is still having his meds for it (3 syringes of panacur) Whilst he was ill he wasn't moving about when he went to the toilet. Anyway the vet said he hadn't been scalded and will clean himself up now he's better. I wiped him everyday to try and clean him up but didn't want to stress him with a bath.
Anyway after today's events with Holly I thought I'd check the other bunnies Magic was fine but Blitzen has what I think is urine scalds, not serious or big like Asbeau's were but they look sore. He hasn't weed on himself recently as his legs have cleared up alot but where they are still dirty is dry (I was going to give him a bum bath in a couple of days seems he's feeling better) Anyway, i've applied Sudocrem to him (and Holly) and then later on I will put some Vasaline on to make a barrier over the sores (they don't look open but I'd rather be safe than sorry)
Obviously I will get him to a vet ASAP but I need to wait until my mum comes home tonight before I can discuss the vets.
