Help with strange sore on rabbit's belly

Alleycat

Alpha Buck
All,

Dusty has this sore on his belly, and I think our vets are underestimating it - anyone recognise such a lesion and know how to deal with it....? We got a cream from the vets, but he insists on licking it off, and the vet's suggestion of leaving him with a collar until it lears up is just not feasible...



He is eprfectly fine, and eating and pooping normally...

Thank you all - we a re a getting a bit worried :(
 
That looks really sore, can you find a more rabbit savvy vet and go tomorrow? I couldn't tell you what it was but I'd at least want pain killers. Licking the cream off could be because the sore is hurting.

Try posting a thread in rabbit chat with your area to see if anyone knows of a good vet.

Hope it heals up soon!
