Hi everyone,
My lop /dwarf cross bunny recently recovered from fly strike - three nights in the vets and loads of tlc at home since. She was outside with another bun but since the fs she's spent time in a large plastic hutch indoors. She's always been a messy bunny and poor at cleaning herself which probably contributed to fs so since then she's not been having greens (as seemed to give her runny poos and awful bum) and I've not been using sawdust in her litter tray just kitchen roll as sawdust would get all stuck in her bum / poo as well. I've been keeping her hutch really clean but noticed tonight that her fur is going/ totally gone around her genitals and back of feet. My heart sank thinking she'd got FS again but no sign of anything and have been spraying her. She's really energetic still but what can I do? If I go yo vets it may be a short term solution. I've bathed her botty this evening and put sawdust in her tray. I saw somewhere about using sudocrem? Is there anything I can do or is it a vet trip? I feel totally useless bunny mummy after the fs and now this
Thanks in advance
