Toffs and Pebbs
Warren Scout
Hey guys!
(If you want to skip the backstory go to paragraph 3)
So today I woke up and saw that my poor Toffee has huge chunks of fur missing and some really inflamed skin with spots of blood here and there, there was fur all alongside the hutch/run and Pebbles was all ok (They were both happy with each other so it wasn’t a fight) but then we took Toffee to the vets! We assumed it was from where she keeps going behind the hutch, they bite there so there must be some sharp bits and they aren’t meant to go behind there so it is quite a small space so we think she got stuck and ripped a ton of fur out and scratched herself on it...
When we got there she said that we should keep Toffee inside because we didn’t want it to get infected, she told us sudocreme (because it was almost like a nappy rash for a baby), salt water to clean it and she gave us an anti-inflammatory/ Pain-killer medicine to feed her through her mouth. We were ok with everything but we needed to buy a small temporary thing for her to live in, inside. We thought that if we bought that and then let her go in the run on the slabs in the day then she would get enough exercise but we definitely didn’t want to keep her outside because then when the hot weather comes and flys come too, she could get a fly related infection/illness. This is what we got:
As you can see, I have put a toy bunny to hopefully stop her missing her mate Pebbles!
I was wondering what I could do to make sure that moving from the outdoors to indoors (which was done quite quickly and immediately) as least stressful as it can be. Her movement is like her normally self but her eating is a lot less enthusiastic and her going to the toilet is a lot different and a lot less, the main difference is her poo is darker and smaller. At the start when she had come home from the vets, her breathing was very rapid but that is quite normal. I have kept her out of a different room than the cat when we aren’t there to supervise and I have tried to make sure that there isn’t any loud or scary noises!
Some pictures of Toffee (If you guys would like some then I will add some of her injury’s):
P.S I did try to get one of her grooming the toy rabbits but failed sadly [emoji23]
Thank you
