My rabbit has poop stuck to its butt and dry, flaky skin. What to do?

Question

Hi, I have a lop eared rabbit who is about 4 years old, she is constantly getting poop stuck to her butt and the only way to take it off is if we bathe her. she also has dry flakey skin and I don’t know how to treat it. Any recommendations? Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 11 months old | 7 lbs

The poop that is getting stuck is very common in rabbits, especially overweight rabbits that cannot reach that area, cleaning it under warmish running water is the best technique. regarding the dandruff that could be a phase but that could also be due to fur mites, i would recommend seeing a vet in order to get it checked.
