Linatone

[RunRabbitRun]

I used to use Lina tone on my bunnies for their fur when they would get dry, flaky patches and it worked wonders. I recently boughta bottle of Linatone Plus but it's been so long I forgot how to dose a bunny. Do I follow the instructions for cats/kittens and give 1/4 tsp. per 2 pounds body weight? This is for a 11 and a half pound French Lop.

Ive never used this, but Ive heard of it being used on bunnies to improve coats. I think it was a few drops a day, but dont quote me on that. Hopefully someone else will have some info for you.

I will say though, have you thought about changing their diet at all if youre having trouble with dry skin or coat? I know that when I switched my bunnies over from a poor quality pellet to a timothy based pellet(and also when I went from free feed to limited feed) plus adding a cup of green veggies per day, it improved their overall appearance along with coat.

Just my .02

I would if it were a problem with more than one, but it seems just isolated to this one 6 year old bun, who has been on the same food her entire life and only has one spot where it is dry and flaky (this is a first for her). Since they are in the basement, I wonder if it's drier down there due to the winter? The other 5 seem to be doing ok.
