They sure are getting better! The bottom of her feet are scabbed over now but she is hopping so much better and not as crabby w/ the other bunnies as she had been. She hasn't had any more fur loss and her tail fur is starting to grow back. Since I seperated her from the other two while they are...

We were on the road to recovery until last night when Sammy managed to break through to the top level of the cage and Diva jumped down to the bottom. Her rear was soaked again although her feet are still looking better than they were. She was hopping better before last night too. I have...

Thanks for all the replys, your thoughts and input are greatly appreciated! Pipp, it is sore hocks, to be honest it may be because I wasn't cleaning the cage often enough with three rabbits in there. I clean it once a day but not everybunny would use the litterbox every time and because she is...

We do have a screen on the litter box. The problem was that with sore hocks she wasn't feeling up to jumping into it, but thanks for the suggestion, if only it were that easy. I did get the bag balm and put some on tonight, I also did wrap her feet but it is a moisture proof kind of covering...

After doing some research on the Internet I am thinking about getting some bag balm to keep the urine off the skin. I also read on one of the sites that you can wrap the feet to avoid the urine from soaking in. Any idea's on this? I know I would have to use a e-collar on her but I already have...

We started the baytril 2x's a day and a cream for her feet, Silver Sulfadiazine cream. I have seperated her from the other buns but her feet are not improving and it is moving up her leg, she has lost all fur on the inside of one hind leg. The corn starch baths were just not cutting it, last...

When he was examing her the very bottom of the end of her nails has little sore spots. What may have happened was the mats were holding the urine close to the body which caused urine scald and that escalated into a bacterial infection I believe he said Cocci was the strain. Chances are it was...

Well we just got back from the vets. he did shave her feet a bit and agreed it was urine scald. because she is running a slight temp so he put her on a round of baytril. What a pain to administer in pill form but because she is so big she had to have pills. I did get the pill popper but it was...

Thanks Pamnock! That is what I did but then I got nervous I may cut into her foot so I will see if the vet can do that for me. Can I use gential Violet instead of iodine?

Thanks again for the replys. I am bringing Diva in at 1:40 today when Gunnar goes to get his stiches removed. Will keep you updated!

Thanks for the replys guys. I guess I will just do the powder again today and then ask the vet when I go in tomorrow with the dog.

I went and bought the corn starch powder and dry bathed Diva. It worked really well and got her tail all nice and dry and her "privates" as well. I think I may have found what is ailing her as well. The fur on the bottom of her feet is matted rather badly. I did manage to pull and cut some out...

Lovin on her suede

Thanks so much for the response guys. I have an appointment on Tuesday with the vet to get Gunnar's staples out so maybe he will let me sneak her in at the same time. I do have a CareCredit card and get my bonus check on Friday so one way or another she will get seen. Thanks for the links...

I know it has been ages since I last posted and it sucks the first post I have in forever is one about a sick bun. Some of you will remember Diva, she is a two-year old flemish giant.Lately she seems to be having some difficulty with her hind legs. She can't hop high enough to get into the...
