What if i can't take my bunny to the vet, is there some volunteer programs or something?
It's not a major problem, it's just my rabbit's bottom is dirty and soiled. There is a 1 inch size ball of poop stuck to the fur on her bottom and it has dried, becoming impossible to remove.
Do you think there are places in Indianapolis that can look at her for FREE?
We can't spend vet fees for her cause we have too many pets already.
And is it really true about volunteer programs?
Please help me on any tips on how to clean her bottom, or volunteer places in indianapolis, and more tips on vet check-ups and costs!
The one to give the most info will recieve ten points easliy. ( and trust me, I've given it to a random person before!)
Thanks a lot!

You should not have that many pets if you can not take care of all them! And dont say you can because paying vet fees is an important part of taking care of a pet. No one ever does anything for free.....
Have you tried soaking her bum in warm water?
Are you able to cut it off?
I own a rabbit and I would soak her bum in warm water. She won't like it, but it should loosen the poo so you can gently pull it off.
You can try www.rabbit.org to see if their are any vets that can help you.
You are just gonna have to clean it's bototm yourself fi you can't take it somewhere. I used to have bunnies and had that problem on occasion. I just took a bucket of warm water with a little shampoo in it and a couple of old washcloths outside and gently wipe the bunny's bottom until it all comes off. You may have to try to cut it off if your bunny has longer hair, just be careful and don't cut it's skin. Don't neglect it, because if the poop stays in contact with the skin, the bunny will get a nasty infection and then it's really going to cost you at the vet. Go get your hands dirty ! You can do it ! It is your responsibilty to take care of you pets, so please try your best to help the bunny, soon..
My old rabbit did'nt like water to much But...When my dog was a puppy that always happened to her I would have to Sit her in the tub for like 5-10 Min (Warm Soapy water) Holding her but down!! Then Pulled it off with Gloves!! Watever was left i just cut it off!!. All the Vet what do is the same thing...So Don't waste your money!!
OK, my bunny kind of had the same problem.It's really bad when that happens. My cat died because i had dirt and poop and stuff stuck to it's bottom. It died cuz it couldn't poop then. You should take it to a vet. This is what I found on free vets or whatever.

I hope your bunny is OK. You could try giving it a bath too. That worked on our bunny. BOL!!! ;D !!!!!!
if you can't take her to the vet, i'm sure a local shelter can look at her for free. i have never had a problem like this so i am not 100% sure. anyways, if your rabbit's bottom is dirty, then wash it with warm water and some soap or shampoo made for bunnies. first, cut out the poop. make sure you have old rags, or buy some rags and sponges just for cleaning rabbit bottoms! then, i think you should clip the fur on her bottom and wash it regularly so that this problem doesn't happen again. it might look a little silly, but it will be worth it. so local shelters i think will have a "vet" service for people. not all shelters do though. ask a vet what their prices are and go to all the nearest vets do that. also ask what kind of animals they can deal with specifically. i hope your bunny stays healthy and happy!
Totally agree with you, cantos93.
It may just be a tough bit of 'cecum' [at least i think that's what it's called]. Rabbits have two kinds of doo, one is little round balls that my nephews call coco puffs [please don't ask, my niece is still getting over that] and the other looks like a bunch of grapes. Sometimes my rabbits do the same thing, having danglies and a dirty bum, and our vet told us that it would be okay and told us just to clean the little critter up and keep a close eye on it for a few days, if there was a recurrence we were to call him. Now, in thid hot weather, I have a couple of lazy bums that won't even move from their comfy spot until darkness falls and they can get quite nasty, peein and pooin all over themselves, even with an open wire bottomed cage. My advice would be to clean your pet off and DO NOT put her back into her pen until she is 100% dry, when the heat gets aback up, go ahead and give her a 20 oz. soda bottle [filled with water, label removed, and frozen] to keep cool with [giants will love a 2 liter], or bring her inside with the air conditioning. Good luck!
Just gently cut it off and don't hurt the rabbit
