I have read some different things concerning the topic, but would like to get opinions from BYH readers/contributors. To preface, I raise exclusivly Holland Lops, so I am talking Holland Lop bucks as a given, but also any breed as well when it comes to this. I have a couple of bucks, one in...
Another thing you can do is to spray it twice a day with Vetericyn. It comes in spray and gel forms. It is a little on the expensive side but it works like a miracle and can be used on so many different animals for so many different things, it is definatly a good investment. Good luck with the...
