The vet advised me to give her more greens and reduce her dry mix to stop her selectively eating. She also gave me some probiotic to put in her drinking water to promote healthy gut action.
The problem has got better and my bunny's bottom doesn't need cleaning as often.
He's filed the teeth down and I'm glad to say she has a lovely clean bottom now! She's also grooming our other bunny which she's never done before (we've only had him a few months), so he's happy too!
Thanks for the update and advice.
Thanks Donna G for your suggestion - I have tried Supa Rabbit Excel (or should I say my bunny has) and my bunny wouldn't eat it.
Glad to hear your bunny is getting better. Mine has made a full recovery and we haven't had a dirty bottom for nearly two weeks now - i'm keeping my fingers crossed that we've cracked the problem.
My vey said to keep using the probiotic every now and again just to keep things ticking over properly in bunny's gut.
