It looked better tonight, not as red and no pus. But that was before I had my
husband help me comb out some poop that had got in his fur near there last
night. Then I spritzed the bare skin with water and patted with baby wipes to
make sure it was clean. I was very careful not to touch it very much The skin
got a bit red, but rabbit skin kinda gets really pink or red when you mess
with it. Then I put SSD on it and he’s sitting propped upright with rolled
towels until my husband gets the newborn diapers because the ones I got are too
big I think. I wanna put diapers on until the skin isn’t red anymore. With a
few hours of freedom from the diaper a couple times a day where i have him
propped up and off that leg/hip. That’s the plan but we’ll see.
I have 1 yard of some super soft faux sheepskin I just got off Amazon that is
softer than what I already had from joanns for my elder bun Bilbo several years
ago I’ll check out the place you mentioned too.
I think I’ll use the SSD cream today and Friday maybe until hopefully the
redness goes away and then switch to a barrier like the stuff you recommended
or A&D. Vet said cornstarch, but that didn’t work and that’s why I’m in this
mess.
I’ll try to get a better close up tomorrow and show you guys and maybe you can
show your friend and see what she thinks. Our vet just said SDD and cornstarch
and if it doesn’t get better soon then PTS. Which might happen anyway, but I
don’t want it to be because of red skin.

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.
