Help!! How do I stop my bunny from licking his stitches?
My bunny just went for a procedure to remove an abscess on his foot. The vet put an e-collar on him but we decided to remove it as he had trouble eating and drinking and was very uncomfortable all round.
We put this donut on him as a makeshift collar but he’s still able to lick his wound. Will licking his wound affect his recovery? If so, how can I prevent him from doing so?
Bad Reaction?
Hey all. I got a bunny a couple weeks back and haven’t had the chance to get him neutered yet (he’s just reached the appropriate age this week anyway). I plan on getting this done at some point this week as long as I can get an appointment.
I’ve noticed that he has a very strong ammonia scent in his urine and maybe I’m crazy but I think it’s giving me a bad reaction. For the past couple days my throat has been sore and my nose has bled several times. Could this be connected to the ammonia in the air? I’ve read it’s possible but I want to ask the broader community and get some insight. If it is, will neutering him help this scent and ammonia concentration?
