Question
hi
i have a baby bunny she is 4 weeks old, there are 4 in total and i have been hand feeding them - this is not new to me. The problem is she has swollen genitals, her poop is very small hard black and crystal like, other symptom's i have also noticed with her constant scratching at her ears and her eye lids are not swollen but half way open. She is eating solids well and drinks her milk well. All the other bunnies are normal. Any help would be very appreciated.

thank you

Hi,

really the best thing you can do is to get her in to your regular, good rabbit vet.  If she's got infections you need to get real medicines to deal with it and get it diagnosed properly.

Please take her in to a good rabbit vet immediately.  If you need to find one go here:

www.rabbit.org/vets/vets.html

to find a House Rabbit Society recommended vet near you.

None of us here are vets or should be asked to give medical advice.  My advice to you is as a pet owner.  If I were in your shoes, that is what I would do, not being a vet myself.
