Ok, I knew we had to clean scent glands now and then to ensure the buildup doesn't cause an infection, but OMG! Bo is so stinky right now!! I cleaned his glands with a qtip and mineral oil even to get the worst and his bottom will make a skunk puke!

What do you do for this? Should I bathe his bottom? leave it alone? wear gas mask? :ph43r:

I never had to deal with this problem.
I'm still not sure where the scent glands are. :dunno:
Forgot to ask the Doctor when I took Pebbles in for a check up.

If you look at Pebbles bottom, and the edge of her little wee-wee area - then on the very edge on either side there will be sort of a flap. It's hard to find, but it's like an opening that runs like a peapod. (Bo's become sort of tubular at the end of it.)

I never had to worry about Bo, until now. He's stinky! he's gonna get a bath if it keeps up! :blink:

Thanks for the picture and info. :)

So far, Pebbles is not too bad....
If it isn't broken... I'm not going to fix it. :P


Mmmm, you smell nice.

I didn't clean Bo's until he had some little hard/waxy things show up there. It almost looked like squished poos caught in the fold. I guess they can get infections if it's left like that...... I think he's lazy about cleaning maybe? or when he was overweight (he probably still is a bit but he can clean).......

Pebbles looks like she's worried about lipstick smudges on her fur!!!! :lol:

I sometimes give bunnys a butt bath,i just put some warm soapy water in the bathroom sink ,not too deep.i just wash there bum.i dont like too get the whole rabbit wet.some rabbits really hate this.bluebird

Oh, I bet Bo will HATE that! :wacko:
