Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

If you wait till the mud and dirt dries it will brush out. Rabbits should not be bathed unless absolutly necessery as it takes the oil out of there coats. val
 
The oil helps keep them water proof and their coat in good condition. If you stick your fingers into the fur of a rabbit that's out in the rain the undercoat is dry even if they're damp on top.

Lionheads are quite common in rescues now - they may be cross breeds though so can vary quite abit in size :)

You don't need to clean them off, she was spotlessly clean after an hour back in the hutch. Rabbits are very good at cleaning themselves. I've never had to bath any of mine :D
