Awww, I love my bun

My bun has free range of the garden whenever possible. I know that we have had a decorator around for the last week doing some work on the house and he is always making sure the gate is closed etc - I put the rabbit away while they are working but today the men had gone so I let him have his run as usual - later came out to find he had found their paint - behind a board they had placed against the wall - I had NO IDEA there was anything behind there - till I saw Smudge covered in paint! I panicked and ran the vet - she advised if it was emulsion it should wash off - try diluted fairy and if Gloss I should bring him in to be anethetised to be clipped - He's a rex. :(:oops: I didn't know what the paint was - was in a large icecream tub. So I bathed Smudge - he did NOT like this. I got some off but not all - Tried to rub him dry but he wasn't having it and I didn't want to stress him further - he's in his playhouse in loads of hay getting himself dry. I am going out to check on him ofter -he is happy and eating and when I go out he is soooo friendly. :love: He jumps on my lap - bless. Must know I am trying to help him. :love:
 
Oh dear!

This happened to one of my cats last year - he managed to get himself covered in paint (left lying around outside by the landlord no doubt :roll:).

Poor cat was not impressed with the washing of his paws and coat, but luckily I managed to get most of it off and he was fine. It's a bit of a worry though as some paints are toxic to cats, and presumably bunnies too :(

Hope Smudge will be ok.
