We lost internet so that message was sent out unfinished....augh, so sorry
about that! As I was trying to say, I had babies here that would develop a rash
just during their nap time until I insisted that the parents all provide
Desiten or something similar. That was the only thing that kept it at bay. My
best advice to you is to use something similar, go for the lower zinc products
if need be and make sure Frodo (and the others) are protected from licking at
it.

Brenda, I am so sorry you are struggling so much with this. 🙁 Its a full-time
job and then some, taking care of babies who need all these extra precautions.
Your Vet seems to have a very negative attitude? That's not helpful....
I had a daycare in our home for 25 years, ages newborn to 12. The back bedroom
was a nursery and we always had multiple babies and toddlers in diapers. A&D
never worked on them either, not sure why that is since it is also a
petroleum-based products. Vaseline was worthless to. Over all those years we
had a few who just seemed to have extra sensitive skin. I could lay a baby or
toddler dow

Subject: [naturalrabbit] Re: Frodo
Has anyone else used zinc oxide on a rabbit that is in contact with other
rabbits? My husband is very worried about using Butt Paste, he is afraid he’ll
kill Balin, and so we have to choose between Balin and Frodo, which one to
save, which has to be Balin.
Frodo’s skin still was dark pink and scaly this morning, even after the SDD
before bed and diapers all night that he didn’t pee in because i woke up in the
night to put him in the litter box to pee. maybe the diaper irritated the
skin?? It was fine yesterday morning but medium pink last night.
I gotta protect the skin with a barrier product since he has the ability to pee
on himself because of his loose skin and the way he lays. The vet said only SDD
every other day and cornstarch the in between days, but that won’t work with
Frodo. And I don’t like her comment that it’s just a matter of time (as in
soon) before he gets urine scald again that leads to sepsis and euthanasia. So
as long as Balin doesn’t eat the butt paste I can’t follow the vets plan. Frodo
and Balin can’t lick the areas that need the ointment, since they are always
under Frodo. I just don’t want Balin to lick the blankets that might have
residue from Frodo wriggling around on them. Not that Balin is the type to
lick or eat everything in sight. And we’re probably talking a small bit of
residue that would be in the blankets, as long as we don’t use half a tube of
butt paste at once. Anybody use zinc oxide on bonded rabbits?
Oh and I forgot that the veterinus derma gel got delivered the other day with a
bunch of amazon items. Would that work better than a&d? Because the a&d isn’t
working.

Sounds good to me to use the Butt paste since Brenda, that’s what my friend
does also….especially since he isn’t mobile. Does he have a chance of getting
over his immobility? My Micah had no back feet, so it was a dilemma too
sometimes, the a and d worked though but I also used the really good vet
bedding I told you about so it didn’t stay web. But he he didn’t lie on his
side.
This is what my rescue friend said,
“ For rabbits like that, I always shave them and put Butt Paste (yellow
bottle) on their skin. Then, I keep them on vet bedding. I have used the SS.
But, not for this type of thing. It won’t protect the skin”.
Love to you and still praying for Frodo

So I might have to switch to butt paste. He was only in a diaper part of the
day and the bedding was dry and he himself felt dry when I checked him after he
escaped his diaper. I even patted him with a Kleenex to see if it got wet. The
fur was dry the skin was dry. But at the bedtime ointment and diaper
application, I noticed some of the skin in the folded area near his butt was
dark pink. Maybe the skin is still sensitive and so a wee bit of wee irritated
it? Or maybe the pee is getting caught in the loose skin of his back end, From
where he’s lost weight over the years (he used to be a piggie). I put him in
the litter box several times a day to go pee, I’ve got good bedding, he gets
diapers for the night and half the day (if he doesn’t wriggle out), and he’s
got ointment twice a day….. arggg!! Dammit! So frustrated. Am I the only one
with a bunny that is partly immobile and keeps peeing on himself? I don’t want
him to get sores again.

So Frodo went 3 laps around our finished basement, which is about 20’x20’ !!!
I had a scarf around his middle in case he got wobbly, but he only did a few
times. And he hopped at a normal pace. He’s tuckered out now but super proud of
himself.
He still has dizziness and unsteady on his back rear foot. But I’m hoping daily
exercise like this will help. The trick is that He needs to follow a wall on
his right side. He gets disoriented when the wall is on his left (with the open
room to his right), and also when he runs out of wall — he’ll start going in
circles. But he seems to know where he is around the room and has the route
memorized probably from 9 years of exploring this space. And he’s so happy he
can walk on his own. Now to get him to get up on his own. If we can strengthen
that left rear foot I think he’ll be able to.
Wondering if anyone has made open-topped tunnels for head tilt bunnies to walk
through as they relearn balance and orientation And relearn how to walk.
And so far the a&d ointment, bedding of faux sheepskin with towels underneath,
and diapers have kept his skin in good shape after the urine scald last week.
His fur is getting a bit oily from the ointment. I have some “waterless
shampoo” for rabbits that i can put on it and then dry and comb out and see if
that does the trick.
The vet warned that he could suddenly get urine scald again and it can quickly
break down the skin and go septic. So we might not get as lucky as we did this
time. So I guess I need to feel him a few times a day for any wetness and
visually examine him daily?
Thanks for listening to all my babbling and for all your support. 💕
Luv,
Brenda and Frodo and Balin
