Hello, everyone!
Three weeks ago, my rabbit gave birth to four lovely bunnies, and aparently she takes care of them pretty well. but during this period, there were some problems. It seems that one of the bunnies had some poop stuck in its anus which prevented it from pooping and peeing. When I realized this I cleaned it very carefully. The problem is that because of the effort the bunny made to pee and poop, its anus and genitals ended up being swollen. I took the bunny to the vet and he gave me a cream which I had to put in the area every now and then. The cream reduced the swelling a little, but the anus and the genitals are not the size they're suppose to be. Two weeks have passed and it's the same size as before. My question is if there's going to be any problem for him in the future because of this, and if it's possible that it feels some kind of pain or something like that?
My other question is related to the first one. The three brothers of this bunny are growing up really fast, while he's not (they double him in size). What's more, his brothers have really soft fur, while he hasn't. Is it possible that he's not being fed properly because of its problem? Is it normal that a bunny is growing up at a different rate than its brothers? Should I do something like made its mother feed him twice a day? Or is everything going to be fine just the way things are happening?
Thank you very much for your attention!
