Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

I really don't know tbh ....... I'm just 'fostering' her at the moment until she goes to her 'forever home' so I have no medical history on her or anything .... and I'm a complete newbie at looking after rabbits too, which doesn't help.

Hhhm thinking about it, she's been with me for about a month now, if it were due to an injection, would it have shown up before now?? (unless I just didn't spot it before!?).

Is there anything I can do for her? Amongst the things she arrived with was a pot of vaseline and some Sudocrem ... do you think her previous owners coul have been putting those on it? It does look really quite dry and she has a little bald patch.

Are you Fostering her for a Rescue ? If so they should know.

If not then can you contact her previous owner and ask ?

The skin looks to be healing and from the photos it does not look infected. I'd just keep an eye on it and if it starts to look 'angry' or if it bothers her alot I'd get a Vet to take a look. But as I say, going on those photos it appears to be healing.
 
Ooh I just edited my last post and it must have crossed with yours.

I got her from my boss - he needed a new home for her and my step-daughter wanted a bunny for her little boy, but she lives a 2 hour journey from us so getting her and the hutch and the run over there is a bit of an issue, especially as OH's van has packed up!

My boss is away on holiday for a couple of weeks so I can't ask til he gets back.

Glad you think it looks like its healing, I'll keep a close eye on her.
