Are you familiar with urine scald in pets? It often happens to pets that are in cages with bedding of some type. Urine scald generally occurs when rabbits have been left to sit in their own urine for long periods of time. This typically happens when a rabbit’s cage is not cleaned properly or cleaned frequently. Over time, a rabbit’s body will eventually soak up the urine of his unclean bedding. This can cause severe urine burn, skin inflammation and even hair loss. It is important to keep your rabbit’s bedding clean and dry on a regular basis. If you do notice that your rabbit’s skin is red or inflamed around his private area, call your vet. He may recommend applying ointments such as A&D ointment, Silvadine or other topical creams to soothe and heal the skin. Never apply ointments or creams without permission from your experienced vets Wichita, KS.
