Whats this?

Which side of the bunny is it the pic is too small someone else might be able to help if u could upload the pic onto the thread :wave:
 
It's hard to tell as the picture is so small, does it look like there's any fly eggs there? Has the rabbit possibly been attacked by another? It looks serious (if it's sore, as the picture is so small it could just be a dirty bum) and needs medical attention, please phone a vet asap if it is something sore
 
Hi,

I turned her over today and she had poo stuck to her bum and when this was removed this is what was underneath.

I'm unable to post a picture, im not sure if its due to me not being a member long enough.

I'll try and out it in photobucket and then attach a link here
 
You need to get to a vet, NOW. Not tomorrow, not even in an hour, NOW. There will be emergency vets in your area, call your normal vet for details now. You MUST seek veterinary attention NOW, the picture is tiny but it looks like flystrike which is an emergency. I hope you can get help quick enough and your rabbit survives.

Please go, now, dont waste any time, just ring them and let them know you are coming, pop her in a carrier and go.

edit: seen the bigger pics now, could still be flystrike, hopefully it isnt, but you need to ring the vets. What are those white things by her bum, behind her?

I don't no what it is but you need to get the bunny to a vet ASAP
 
The white stuff is just wet tissue that was used to clean her and remove the stuck poo.

At first I thought it may be a prolaspe but the area just looks swollen more than anything else which may have been caused by the stuck poo?

Poo on for a short time wouldnt have caused that I dont think, and I assume you check her bum everyday so it wasnt there for long. You need to ring the vet. It may be flystrike. It may not be flystrike, but even if not she needs prompt veterinary attention to deal with why she would poo all over herself like that, that is not a sign of a healthy bunny and could indicate serious gut problems.
 
Yep, dont worry its my girlfriends rabbit (one of 3) shes ringing now.

I'm a reptile man, the closest i ever get to rabbits is the frozen ones i feed my snakes

yea sorry, we have rabbits, geckos, monitor lizards, anacodas and reticulated pythons.

Dont worry we love rabbits as much as anyone else its just we see frozen food rabbits as differnt to our pets, just like burgers to cows etc lol.
 
Hoping everything goes ok with your partners bun, your doing the right thing by getting him/her seen.

I would most probably have lost my bun last night if I hadnt have taken him to the emergency vets at 11pm last night, so its a definate must.

Let us know how you get on x
 
Just to let you know.

Everything is okay.

It's just an infection and we've got cream to wash her with twice a day.

shes eating and drinking fine :D

the vet did say shes slightly chubby so were changing the diet from mixed food to just plain nuggets.
 
Glad it's something to work on :D good news :thumb: also plenty of exercise to keep her gut moving, moving her slowly onto pellets is great:D and plenty of hay to give her tummy some goodness and roughage to keep those poops nice and round and not wet as to agitate her poorly bits :D

Ooo anacondas?! Brilliant, I love big snakes, they fascinate me:love:
