Hope the spelling is ok!!!!
Is it possible for a rabbit who has had this to get it again??
Cleo has a very messy bottom, sloppyish poos which are very smelly, she is very lathergic and just lying around. We have cleaned up her bum and there is no nastys down there thank goodness and she is eating and drinking, she does drink quite alot for a small bunny.
Checked Sids bum much to his disgust, a towel was needed and i got grumbled at and his breathing went wheezy bless him, oooooooohhhhhhhhh the stress, how do you guys with lots of bunnies do this??????????????????????????????

Hiya yes this infection can reoccur , as it is hard to eradicate from the environment.
I suggest getting some more treatment from your Vet and you will need to sterilise everything the bunny has come into contact with very carefully.
Looks like you need those rubber gloves handy :roll: .....we had a lot of trouble getting a guinea pig free of the infection, but it was the sterilisation of the area on a daily basis that finally overcome the bugs (and not just relying upon the vet treatment).
Hope this helps?

Best wishes and good luck, I am sure you can stamp the infection out :wink:

Drinking more water is a sign of the complaint, the treatment is supposed to suppress it so the rabbit builds up emunity to it.They are not supposed to get it again after they have recovered, i think u need to talk about this to your vet. val
