Jack's VHD injection scab...worse again!

Just been to the vet with Jack (saw a gorgeous black bunny waiting to see the vet too!). Anyway the vet gave Jack another antibiotic injection and some cream to rub on the scab three times a day. He thinks it not healing bcause Jack is constanly scratching it. He thought it might be ring worm but after cheacking a piece under the microscope he said it wasn't. Am "working" from home today so keeping a close eye on him. He's back next week for another antibiotic injection poor little baby.
 
Magic had the same problem after the VHD jabs, only he had two huge lesions. I ended up putting a doll's jumper on him and that helped clear it up reasonably well.

Mines started itching her ear... I think where she had an injection for her spay ... she was itching that one spot a lot .. put a bit of sudocream on it and it seems to be healing well.
Hope Jacks gets better :)
 
Beany had her VHD last week and I've just noticed a large scab area. I'm not sure I have anything I can put on it here, excpet perhaps tea tree oil, Is this safe for buns? If not, what else can I use? I think she is scratching it :(

I tried using the tea tree skin cream on Molly but found she just wanted to lick it off. :roll: You could just bathe it in salty water. The sudocream stuff seems good, that's what my vet recommended for Molly's scab. After rubbing it on, make sure you keep your bunny distracted for a while with treats etc. so that they don't lick it straight off again.
 
OKay, I can pinch some Sudocrem from work tomorrow 8)

Not even sure it is her VHD scab now - looks like it's lower down and not sure how she's done it :?
