Well Smudge's bits and pieces seem less swollen this morning and he is happily bouncing round the garden at the minute. When I examined him this morning he had some runny poo stuck to him so not sure if the ab's have given him a runny tum although all the poos in his hutch were normal  So another quick bath and freshen up and he seems fine. Will keep an eye on him. Have spoken to the vet and put her in the picture, she is happy for him to carry on with the ab's but will see him if it becomes necessary  |

Decided to take Smudge for a check over anyhow...apparantly he is very over weight  well I knew he was a little over weight but didn't realise that he was far too much over weight (He has always been a greedy bunny!) He is unable to clean his bits and pieces up as he should due to being obese  that's why he has become a little sore. He has had an long acting antibiotic injection save giving him the drops and now he is on a reducing diet ... |

The exact same thing happened to my Bunny after he was castrated, it didnt click with me that he couldnt clean himself which is why it slipped my mind. Has Smudge been neutered? "Riley" had poo on him a lot, I had to clip all round his bum every 2 weeks to keep him clean and dry, it wasnt so much him being overweight, he wasnt, but the coat went incredibly thick, and when poo got on it he couldnt clean it off, so he got sore. Hope Smudge continues to do well. Dawn. |

He has to have less 'hard feed' and is now on the Excel lite. He's always has a lot of grass, hay and Greens (I don't feed the rabbits lettuce) as he has access to the garden all day he doesn't really eat hard feed during the day but pigs out at night The vet says I have to take his hard food away from him at night and leave him with just hay but I haven't got the heart I just put less in last night of the reducing food. He hasn't eaten much so I guess he is not very keen on this new food |

Poor Smudge, I expect he will start eating again when he feels more comfortable. Dawn. |
