I promised Barley I would not share photos of his bare bottom.
It was not pretty. He seemed ashamed and hid in his box more than usual.
It all started on a trip to the mountains.
Barley urinated in his crate and had a wet bottom when we arrived.
It tried to clean his fluffy rear with wash clothes and wipes.
Bunnies hate to be wet, so we both ended up soaked and I got bitten twice.
Barley has never bitten me before, so I knew this was not going to end well.
The fur on his cute, little rear end was soon matted and dirty and clumped into locks.
It was time to visit our specialty vet.
This woman is amazing. Anybody that can hold a giant rabbit with one hand and shave his bottom with the other is my hero.
I must add that if this had been Charlotte, the attack rabbit scene from Monty Python would have been reenacted. She is a beast!
We came home with an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory and sulfa cream to slather on his bare rear.
Yes folks, Barley had diaper rash.
Charlotte had to be isolated during this period, because she would have licked off the cream.
I am happy to report that the crisis has passed and his bottom is back to its former cuteness.
All’s well that ends well.

They are always together. It is so sweet. They are brother and sister. My last bunny was lonely and I promised myself I would not let that happen again.
