The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

Wet pompom

L

Lil & Ron's Mum

Lilly is 7 1/2 and she has been incontinent since EC/head tilt which we use puppy pads for.
Lately she has a soggy pompom, I know its because she is getting on and has not had a much flexibility since she was ill and now isn't lifting up when weeing, but I don't want to bath her daily as it stresses her. Iv'e read about corn starch baby powder for dry bathing and wondered if any one had used or or does any one suggest any thing else (except a cork):roll:
 
We are in a very similar position, Muesli who is incontinent has puppy pads as well. Most of the time he stays dry-ish, when we need to help clean him up and dry him out just a little we use cornflour on him to dry-bathe. It works very well.

If he is very wet and sore and mucky, which happens rarely, we bathe him with warm water and dry very thoroughly.

Then we apply sudocrem to soothe him.

Has Lilly had tests to determine the cause of her incontinence?

She has brain damage from when she was ill.
But thanks for the cornflour tip, do you just do a light dusting so that it does't clog? We use bepanthen nappy ointment as its soft to rub on.
