My fried Said it really doesn’t look that bad for some reason. I have seen
worse also. She said her Vet always has her shave off more fur . That’s
exactly what my vet told me when my bunny had urine burn. I used a shaver
as his fur was making it worse now I remember. Just make sure the area is
clean and add a small amount of the butt paste she said or A and D. She
said the SSD doesn’t block moisture.

Janet can you ask if I can use a&d or my holistic docs wound balm (see
other email l) a few hours after the SSD? Or does it have to be washed off
first. I’m not bathing him again soon it was awful and made his skin angry
Vet said only twice a day SSD. And to use ssd one day and cornstarch
another day to keep him dry. But not the same day or it makes a paste. But
the ssd soaks in or rubs off after a few minutes or an hour. it doesn’t
look like there’s any on hkm now.

Brenda, I asked my friend who is a disabled bunny rescue, this is what she
said about Frodo. She also uses A and D original with NO ZINC. She said
the SS won’t protect the skin,
“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”

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.
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?
Don’t tell him I took a pic of him in his diaper, he finds it very
undignified.
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.
