Male with Crusty Genital Area. Help!

[aurora369]

If one rabbit is being treated for syphilis, I would also treat the cage mate. A common source of rabbit syphilis is to get it from mom during birth. So, chances are the sister has it as well, and she is just not presenting symptoms.

However, she can re-infect her brother even with no symptoms. I would bring them both in for shots so that there is no chance of re-infection.

It most certainly looks like vent disease. Topical ointment will clear up the lesions, but will not cure the disease.

Oh, that is good to hear that there is some Pen G involved. I would also get the sister treated with Pen G because like aurora said, they can have it but not show symptoms, and can reinfect each other.
