Hi, my 8 year old buck has had a rough time recently.
I was told by a vet a couple of months ago that his kidneys could be on the way out, however, the little man is still fighting on.
However, he is incontinent, I don't know whether its due to his arthritis or kidney problems.
I have had to bath his back end a few times now with rabbit shampoo, but I find that his fur takes such a long time to dry because, especially under his tail, legs etc where air doesn't get too easily.
I find towel drying doesn't do the job enough, and he understandably he hates the hairdryer on.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, as he's a house rabbit our lounge floor is starting to look a little ragged with lots of wet patches being cleaned up.
When he was very ill he stopped using the litter tray, so I put puppy pads down. Now that his mobility has increased a bit he is weeing in other places. Would it be worth re-introducing the litter tray, or is there another possibility. I don’t want to confine him to small space or room.
