Question
Dear Eliabeth, I am 23 years old and have had rabbits since I was 13. The 2
bunnies that I have now are male and female both spade and neutered. The
male is 6 years old and the female is 4 years old. Since I have had the female
for a few years she has had some conditions. For one thing her front teeth
don't align and she has had surgery for an abscess in her mouth. She healed
fine after surgery. BUT... now she has a balding soar spot under her neck and
continues to lick it I used Animax cream on it but would like to know if it is
because of her long beard getting in her water bowl. If so what should I do?
Thank you,Jodi

Answer
Hi Jodi,
you could keep an eye on this sore,if it's red and infected you should try putting vaseline on it. If she licks it,this won't harm her.(the vaseline)
 It shouldnn't be caused from her water...if the vaseline doesn't help heal it, then let me know...all the best and good luck,Elizabeth
