Hi I'm hoping someone can help me, I have three rabbits all girls all bonded, the last one I took on was a neighbours that was neglected, never let out and not kept clean.
Well she (holly) has always been smelly down below and her fur is yellow from urine, I put it down to her living in squalor cleaned her up and cut back the fur, well the smell didn't go so I took her to the vet where they diagnosed a infection she has been rechecked and given the all clear after a course of antibiotics, and just said she is a naturally smelly rabbit.
Well today I've tried to clean her up again, she is yellow smelly and I think sparse in fur in some areas as if the urine is burning her.
I clean my hutch every day and they have free reign of my garden all day, she isnt yet neutered as she has just got over the infection, my other two are.
What can I do to help her be clean I'm worried about fly strike in summer, though her bum tends to be clean it's all around it that's yellow and smelly
