  • Please Note - Medical Advice

    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. 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.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    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.

Bunny brush

I use a metal dog comb on my rabbits and cats - all longhaired, including lionhead x angora and cashmere type coats. I've not found a brush that will address a really fluffy coat, whereas a good comb will allow you to get down to the skin so that you can prevent the fur matting. Once you and the rabbit are used to it and have a system for grooming, there should be no matting and few if any knots. You need to be able to get to the armpits and inside back legs as that is where most knots form. Often the feet need doing as well - and only a comb will get round the toes, etc.
