what you and Frodo are going through. I hope Laura can advise you on what
to put on the area where the scabs fell off. I found that rinsing with
softly running lukewarm water-,used the bathroom sink, and would let the
water rinse the area. Then I would pay dry with TP ..then a towel.
I would then apply the Desitin that would provide a barrier to the urine.</span>

</div>I’ll try to get some desitin today. He got out of his diaper last
night and rolled in cecotropes. I don’t want to bathe him again today it seems
to make the area worse and some scabs fell off (I didn’t think they were scabs
at the time) and now those spots have pus. Maybe I can pour some peroxide on
the area or watered down betadine to make sure there’s no poop on the bare
skin. There is some in the fur I’ll try to comb it out
<div>

We are all worn out. If his appt next week doesn’t show that his ear
infection is rapidly clearing, she said before it was incueable but then the
pus drastically improved, I’m going to ask to PTS. He can only lay on one
side and crawl a bit, but now that side has sores. He can’t walk without a
scarf holding him up. He’s not eating much. He’s 9 ½

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I completely
agree with you about the Desitin, Laura. If you decide to try the
Desitin, Brenda....be sure to get the original formula. There is a newer
type that is thinner; it doesn't stay on as well.. don't buy that one. It
worked well on my children, and worked wonderfully on Riley, and stays on even
when wet. It forms a very good, moisture resistant barrier. </span>

Brenda, oh that poor little guy. <span id="🙁">🙁 I want
to pass on a little trick I learned thru much trial and error when my disabled
possum Lucy was alive. She arrived here with 9 fractures, severe MBD and all 4
of her legs were permanently splayed out to the sides so she never
walked.....she'd army crawl to get around just fine though. Keeping her rash
free was an insanely difficult task, especially since female possums have
pouches and when she'd pee at night and lay in it, it would irritate her
undersides and her pouch something terrible. I tired SO many different things,
including the cream you are using on your little guy to no avail.</span>

One day a lightbulb went off in my head and I thought huh, I wonder if
diaper cream would help. I bought some Desitin and OMG, not only did it tamp
down the irritation, it protected her like nothing else from it developing out
of control again. She could not really reach to groom herself so I didn't have
to worry about her licking at it. In addition to that, I used Micro Tek shampoo
on her.....that stuff is amazing, it helps kill bacteria and fungus/yeast,
which is almost always a component you are dealing with in cases like your
little boy. You can find it online and many Feed stores also carry it.

You are probably already aware that animals like your boy and my Lucy
are very prone to bacterial and yeast infections due to those areas of their
bodies being constantly moist. I would advise that you wash that area with that
shampoo I mentioned, it has to sit for a few minutes on him. Make sure to rinse
him well in tepid water....if the water is too warm it will sting that
irritated skin even more. Now here comes the challenging part with a
bunny.....you must dry that area completely, using a low heat because again,
heat will only cause more irritation. I know that's time consuming and no easy
task, especially with a bunny but do the best you can.

Once you are done, slather him in Desiten. It's messy I know, but it
will form a protective barrier on his skin. I am not 100% sure if it's
advisable to use both creams, I personally would put on a layer of the SSD
cream and then add the Desiten....I did that with Lucy and it didn't cause any
adverse skin reactions.

It sounds like this is going to be an on-going issue with your boy so
if this helps keep him comfortable, that's important. I cannot imagine how much
that must hurt if he gets urine on that area. <span id="🙁">🙁</span>

Here’s pics of the sores and him in his diaper. With and without
flash. Not a great closeup. Its a little better than it was right after the
butt bath. It’s his upper thigh/butt where he lays all the time. He only lays
on one side. I Hope the diaper keeps him dry tonight because I put the
silver sulfa….. antibiotic cream on his sores and it needs to stay on and not
rubbed off and not peed on. He’s still a wee bit damp from his butt bath but I
have to go to bed. I patted with paper towels, towels, sham wows, more paper
towels, hair dryer on low for like 20 minutes. OMG it’s like it’s against the
laws of nature for the fur to be completely dry.
<br>
<br> I can’t believe he got these scabs, it must be from having
bare skin rubbing on blankets and carpet and getting wet with pee. I thought
fur was falling out because I had to keep wiping/brushing out some mushy poops.
But then it kept falling out I was using cornstarch to try and keep him
dry/dry him up when he peed, but it didn’t work. I put him on several layers of
bedding to keep him dry, it wasnt working a few days ago but I think I got it
figured out now so he can stay dry. But then he pees onto himself sometimes so
he gets wet again and the cornstarch didn’t prevent the sores. Maybe they are
bed sores or rug burn and urine scald?
<br>
<br>Don’t tell him I took a pic of him in his diaper, he finds it
very undignified.

<br>Thanks for advice and support and prayers. We’re still hoping the
ear infections can be cured, then maybe he can get better. He’s struggling with
the dizziness and lack of mobility. He became mobile again a couple weeks ago,
but has backslid. the dizziness and neurological issues cause one of his
back legs to be weak and for him to walk in circles until he falls over and
can’t get back up.
