Hello all,
I used to post regularly on here but haven’t posted for many years. Maybe someone will remember me!
My 3 year old bunny, Sally, is undergoing tests for a chronic skin problem and we are waiting to exclude some of the less obvious parasitic conditions first, before diagnosing Sebaceous Adenitis. I think it’s quite likely she will get this diagnosis, following further swabs taken today. Our job will be to get to the root of the cause of it, as i understand it can occasionally be caused by a tumour in the thymus gland. It seems to be developing quite aggressively, which is a concern. She is currently well
In herself, though it can’t feel pleasant.
I wondered if anyone has any experiences of it and could share these, particularly around treatment and special care.
Sally’s story also goes to show the importance of having a rabbit savvy vet. A recent house move means we are now registered at the Royal D*ck Vet in Edinburgh for her routine veterinary care and she has seen vets who are extremely knowledgeable. Previous vets have either written off my worries or prescribed yet more mite treatments.
Thanks in advance,
Fiona
