It’s looking much better to me Brenda. If all is healed up I would
maintain it with either the butte paste my rescue friend told me about in
the yellow box, or I personally would just use A and D to keep it protected
without antibacterial or antibiotics in it….. Honestly, you will have to
decide, but both are good options. I only have used the Aand D…a lot of things
I’ve used because of no vets I had to ask others who had experience with the
situation and then weigh the pros and cons. Ans when rehabbing hares, there
were literally no vets who knew poop about rabbits or hares….I had to research
library,,even research on antibiotics that were tested on rabbits and other
meds to find safe choices,

Is the consensus that I wait until all the sores are healed (no broken
skin) before i switch from SDD silver sulfa.. to A&D ointment (or Butt
Paste if that doesn’t stay on or help)? My vet just gave me the SDD and
said twice and day and keep it dry or else. I emailed the holistic vet and she
said in between the SDD applications I could use the wound balm i alread ly
have — which has beeswax, olive oil, yarrow, burdock root, echinacea root (
because it’s <span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 18px;
background-color: #ffffff; color: #755534;">anti-microbial, an immune system
stimulant, and anti-inflammatory). But I think the A&D would be better
because it’s harder to wipe off. </span>

Here is this mornings photo with and without flash. The blanket is
white and my hands aren’t red, they are more like the color in the flash photo,
so I think the flash photo is more accurate. I don’t remember him being
red when Jim was taking the photo! Medium to dark pink with a few red
spots.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Anyway he has some broken skin to the right near his tail and we need
to shave/clip that area and the perimeter of the bald area because it’s trying
to Matt in a few places and probably holds dampness. I charged up my ladies
shaver/groomer and have 2 heads I can try that have guards. If that doesn’t
work I need a men’s barber clipper. I wish I could have had the vets staff do
it. I go again this week for his checkup so they can pretty it up for me
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
<div>
During the night he had a weird scanning move he was doing, even in
his sleep i think. He would be still and then twitch his head and scan (move
head to the right) a little and then go back. After several seconds it would
repeat. I put him on my lap and massaged him and it seemed to go away. He loved
the massage anyway. I don’t think he’s doing it this morning. He did
escape his diaper in the middle of night but wasn’t wet and didn’t slide around
In poop. I got another diaper on and that stayed on til morning. So success!

You all are good sports to keep reading my lengthy posts and looking
at the unpleasant photos. I can’t go in with Frodo for his appointments, the
vet calls us and tells us what she thought of his exam, and she is so busy she
doesn’t have much time to talk. So I feel like I’m on my own to figure out the
finer details

</div>He’s having a good day today. Yesterday he was doing a
lot of scanning and wasn’t very chipper at all. I don’t know that the
dizziness is any better - he seems fine when he’s sitting still but when we set
him on his feet he runs in circles for a few seconds or a minute until he falls
over and you can see that his eyes are moving left to right. Well, he runs in
circles If his back legs are working that day. I’ve been putting him in a
harness to help balance him so he can get a few Minutes of walking and exercise
each day. He was able to walk around 3 weeks if I set him on his feet, but hes
been declining since then. But today he is pretty peppy. Maybe he hasn’t been
eating much for a week because his skin hurts. He’d eat the whole store’s worth
of parsley if I let him.
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Speaking of … you guys know off hand low gas low calcium greens? I
need to watch him because he got a bladder stone last year. And he’s prone to
gas. Although the vets day bladder sludge/stones is more about hydration and
exercise than diet. So I have to jiggle his bladder every day to stir anything
in there up so they come out. I’m now feeding him dandelion greens and
cilantro and parsley. I actually had to stop giving him greens a couple
years ago except as a treat because the more I gave him the more often he’d get
GI stasis. When I stopped the greens he stopped getting stasis every week. And
Balin usually refuses greens anyway. I have weird bunnies for sure. But since
Frodos appetite is so low now and he won’t drink, I’m giving him wet greens
several times a day and sub q fluids daily. He’s on gut motility drugs anyway
so what the heck. Vet said up to 2 cups of greens a day. Some days we go
over that just to get him to eat something. He can’t believe his good fortune
as far as the greens go. As you can tell from the video.

good job. I am sorry the butt bath was an ordeal, and just want to
mention that I held Riley on a football hold on his back and let the tepid
water only run on the necessary area to be cleaned. I just mentioned it
in case you have a mess to clean that is difficult to do with
wipes. </span>

</div>Here’s pic of his situation this morning.

You can see at the bottom of the photo near his foot
where the fur was wet. I don’t know if the diaper wasn’t on right or is too big
or if it was when he started peeing as I was taking it off. At least it was a
different area and the skin seemed okay
</div>

It’s better overall, you can’t see but I see a
couple small (like smaller than a pencil eraser) spots that are red and where
the scabs or whatever came off with the washcloth on Wednesday (I thought it
was cornstarch clumps but guess not). Also there is redness in the fur
line along the perimeter of the bald area. I put SDD ointment on but need to
trim the fur there somehow, comb it, clean it and more ointment later. Maybe my
brand new little eyebrow battery operated shaver would trim it. I d on’t want
to do a whole butt bath that was such an ordeal and I think made it worse and
was so hard to get the fur dry. and he’s not got poop in it since I started
diapers at night.

I’ve only been using the SDD so far until the
redness is gone. Then I was doing to try Ad ointment no zinc formula.

His diaper fell off last night and when i checked
on him kn the middle of the night he was wet. I was so upset! His fur was wet
but the bedding wasn’t soaked so i don’t know how he got wet. So I took a towel
and lightly pressed against the bare skin areas, blotted the fur that was wet,
then rubbed some cornstarch into the wet fur and massaged it until it was fully
dry. I hope it didn’t get stuck in any remaining SDD ointment that may have got
rubbed into the fur. I didn’t feel like the fur was sticky so I’m hoping it’s
all good. Then I put a new diaper on him and it’s still on. I slept in late I
was so tired. Hoping he’s dry under his diaper. I’ll check it out soon and send
a pic and update to everyone. .
