I have an old boy who recently seems to have stopepd cleaning certain patches of himself (back foot and part of his belly) and his partner isn't doing it for him unfortunately. The fur is looking a bit knotty in these areas but not dirty. I'd like to help him out but not sure what to do, should I cut the knotted fur out or just give him a wash?
I've never washed a rabbit before so was thinking maybe just a flannel and warm water is better than sitting him in a little bath? Could someone advise? I don't want to stress him out as he is v old but I think he needs a little help bless him.
He's had a recent check up and the vet and he's perfectly healthy so not sure why he's stopped cleaning these two patches I always see him grooming and his fur is fine everywhere else...v strange!
