Not only is my poor dwarf lop Barley still recovering from failed bonding injuries, he has also had a bad reaction to his VHD jab which he had a week ago. I found out on the forum how the VHD vaccine can cause an allergic reaction where scabbing occurs (luckily he hasn't got the 'limp' some people report).
Unfortunatley he has been biting at his skin on his back an pulling the fur out. We took him back to the vet, who gave him an anti-inflammatory injection and put some cream on, but that seems to have worn off and now he is back to scratching. (She didn't supply us with the cream to use at home). I don't know how to stop him doing it and it looks a bit raw again now. The vet suggested using sudocrem, but it says on the packet that it shouldn't be injested, which is exactly what he will be doing!:roll:
Please can anyone suggest anything to stop him scratching and irritating it?
