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.

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.
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>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?
<br>
<br>Thanks for listening to all my babbling and for all your
support. 💕
<br>
<br>Luv,
<br>Brenda and Frodo and Balin
