        Hi all
        Just wanted to ask for some advice about wet tail and sticky bottom. Ok so one of my rabbits is kinda disabled, she has a twisted spine. The vet thinks this makes it difficult for her to move about a clean her back end. Every day I clean her with baby wipes to get the poop off. However the pee is starting to soak her back legs /end that she stinks of urine every mourning/night I go to clean her. I’m not sure if this is wet tail beginning as her brother (not disabled rabbit) doesn’t experience this. I’ve been given something called “fibreplex” but it didn’t really do much. I’ve scheduled to see the vet again on Wednesday (earliest I could get) anyone any advice on disabled rabbit care? As bonnie doesn’t really move much due to her spine. I’d like to help her enjoy being out and run round more like her brother.
        P.s. Rabbits are adopted sry for short sentences in a hurry!
        Thnxs for any help! It’s appreciated!

          Use cornstarch on her bum and brush it out. It’ll soak up the urine. If it gets too bad it’s better to just get a sanitary shave and have the vet do a bum bath.
