Fungal infection help!

[BlazeBunnies]

Hi everyone my boy thumper has a fungal infection on his front paw and on the tip of his nose, I will be taking him to the vet tomorrow hopefully but I'm just wondering if anyone has any home remedies that can help him and clear the infection up, he doesn't have mites and neither does his bonded brother so I don't know what caused it thanks anyone's advice will be appreciated

How do you know he doesnt have mites and that its fungal?
What tests have you done?
Good that hes going to the vet. That is likely the best treatment for whatever this is.

I believe it is a mange infection, I can't get to the vet as I have no way of getting there

What recommendations do you guys have on what I can use. I have read frontline can help is this true?

NOOOOO!!!

Frontline is toxic to rabbits and can be fatal.

Mange mites can be treated with ivermectin(0.4mg/kg, repeat 3 times 10-14 days apart) or Revolution/Stronghold(selamectin 18mg/kg spot on).

Sorry I meant revolution, I would never use frontline.. While I was writing the post I was thinking about frontline 😂 sorry yeah I meant revolution.

Which option do you think is most effective?

Update: my boy has recovered nicely, his nose has cleared up. His foot is still bad but not as bad as before

I'm glad your bun is recovering. Did the vet confirm that it was fungal?

Yeah she said that some revolution and some of that other thing would help
