smelly bunny - quick advice needed

XMissySJx

Wise Old Thumper
just picked up domino n checked him for flystrike/sticky poos etc as usual and this STINK came wofting out, it was HORRID.

my mum helps me get him on his back, and i look 'down there' where his plums were(hes castrated) and under the fold of skin either side it STINKS, i open up the fold its looked dirty,like brown/white coloured gunge...

im trying to get hold of the vet as we speak...does anyone had any ideas or adice? is this normal?!?!
 
Methinks you have found his scent glands!

You can clean the gunk out using a cotton bud dipped in cooled boiled water

:)

Some Bunnies do tend to get a big build up of gunk in which case cleaning them out is a good idea. I usually apply a bit of Vaseline into the crevices after I have cleaned them out. This helps stop the hard brown stuff getting very stuck to the skin which can mean the skin gets sore as you remove the gunk-clump. It is also sometimes easier to get a very firmly embedded gunk-clump out by dipping the cotton bud in Vaseline rather than water.

Oh the joys of Bunny bits and bums !! :lol:
