Belle, just when I thought Webkath had made her manageable for me, I found scabs on her from her matted fur and I don't know what to do.

i don't have a long haired bun so i don't have any experience with scabs but now she has been clipped and 'de-matted', will you be able to keep on top of her fur?
you haven't failed her - you have given her a loving home and asked for help when her coat became unmanageable!! i'm sure the scabs will drop off soon xxx

Thanks Kath, I am going to PAH tonight to find a better brush and am going to try and trim her a little more if I can. Just seeing the scabs shocked me I think

Ok question for you. Do you think I am a bad rabbit parent? These are Alberts feet - they look awful but they are being treated and looked after and they arent bothering him so to me thats ok

Going to play it different
Belle's a long haired bunny. She's going to get the occasional matt etc, thats life. If the fact you can't stop that makes you a bad owner, then lots of others must be too
Ginger's messed up inside. Her kidneys dont work right, she can't gain weight past 1.7kg, no matter what i feed her, she has slightly sore feet now too (nothing like webbkaths!) her backend is weak etc.
Does that make me a bad owner too? :wave:

You are right, and you are a wonderful owner :wave:

You're not failing.
I think this too. Lucky had terrible matts when we got him - had to be shaved by the vets and he still gets them - no matter how much we groom. When i see one, i just snip it out.
Daisy just isnt prone to them at all.
At least you are now aware of the problem - this makes you a fab bunny owner because you are actually trying to help rather than ignore the problem. xxxx

Long haired buns are a challenge. Personally I love them and get great satisfaction out of making their coats tangle free. Yesterday I decided it was hot enough to give her her summer hair cut. I found a massive - about 1 cm x 1.5cm abscess under her chin. She is going to need three weeks of abx to get on top of it. I feel awful but am I a bad bunny mummy or did I just miss something. :wave:
