My rabbit has chin fungus after mange. How to treat it safely?

Question

My rabbit had mange and it just cleared after 8 long weeks. I only noticed yesterday that she had fungus on her chin and mouth. I am not sure how long she has had it! It hasn't spread! I am mortified. I only just got her treated and it was a dreadful experience. What is the right way to treat her considering she is still on sulfur ointment and is due her last ivermectin shot next week. I'm totally devastated plus vets where I am dont treat bunnies. She was adopted & i had to treat her all along. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 23 days old | 6 lbs

Thanks for reaching out about Moyel and sorry to hear about the complications. How do you know it is fungal? Sulfur dips are a fairly good treatment for fungal infections but care must be made around the face. Moist dermatitis around the face from drooling is more likely a staphylococcus or pseudomonas infection, but curing the drooling should correct the skin problems. A veterinarian needs to inspect the cheek teeth for points. Try to dry the lesion and prevent getting wet. A diagnosis should be confirmed prior to treating with anti-fungals as they can cause severe gastrointestinal upset if ingested. Good luck.
