So since my last post, my mother moved over to my grandparents' house, and I moved Sugar's x-pen into the kitchen, where I spent most of my time and he now gets tons of socialization and hours of time out every day. Yay! He's MUCH happier, binkies every day, plays with and is groomed by my Ragdolls, and is learning to come when called.
However, he's in the middle of an AWFUL molt, and there is bunny fur EVERYWHERE. I brush, comb, and even Furminate every day, but it's been weeks and there's no sign of it ending or even slowing.
I know you're not supposed to give rabbits baths with water, but I found a bottle of waterless spray-on combination shampoo and conditioner, specifically formulated to reduce shedding. I was wondering if that was okay to use on rabbits. It's Furminator brand, designed for cats and dogs, and the main ingredients are coconut oil, glycerin, and vitamins D and E. I asked my vet, and she said that if it's safe for cats it should be safe for rabbits, but I've heard horror stories about rabbits dying from Frontline kitten flea meds, so I just wanted to double check.
