annoying scab

L

Lolly's mum

Mama Doe
bella has developed a little scab on her shoulder, i don't know how she got it unless it was a reaction to her VHD jab that she had in March. it dosn't seem to bother her as she dosn't nibble at it or scratch it , however, edward is obsessed and keeps licking/chewing at it.

i've booked both of them into the vets on friday as they are both due their myxi boosters and a pawdicure.

what do you guys think it is?

if the vet prescribes antibiotic cream, whats to stop edward from licking it and poisoning himself?

i can't seperate them as they are a married couple

any advice would be really appreciated.

my girl dutch rabbit has the exact same thing but the people that we bought her from didn't tell us anything about her having a jab and we haven't had her jabbed yet. my other rabbit which is also a female lionhead is licking and grooming her around that area but i have once seen her take fur out of the dutch rabbit so as i have a 2 storey cage i put the bridge down and they seem much more relaxed rather than chasing eachother around and trying to bite one another but the dutch is afraid of the lionhead, and on this website i had some info from other people saying that they are trying to be top female. please tell me the results that she has from the vets. thankyou and i hope that her fur grows back and that the male does'nt poison himself whilst trying to lick/groom the female:cry:. u could also tell the doctor about the male licking and grooming the sore area
