Young Bun
One of my rescue buns is 7.5 years old, she developed an inner ear infection in Feb and became really tilted. Lots and lots of nursing and care and she is almost upright and went back to normal rabbit life.
However I've noticed over the past few weeks her bum is getting really messy - like the underside of her tail. I've actually brought her inside now because it's so damp and cold outside and I'm worried. I gave her a thorough bum and leg bath only a couple of days ago, and already her legs and bum are messy again. I don't know if it's because she can't reach to clean herself, or because she's eating too much of the wrong foods? They have unlimited hay, veggies in the morning and a handful of pellets in the evening. She's quite skinny so I did up their food a few months ago.
I can't keep her inside permanently - she's living in the bathroom and I think my mum is about ready to throw us all out! But I don't want to put her back outside with this ongoing issue.
Any advice appreciated - thank you!
