{{unfinished}}
Dewlap dermatitis can also be caused by dribbling, by continuous wetting from a leaking water bottle, or by does with well-developed dewlaps resting with this large fold of skin dipped in an open water crock (see pseudomoniasis 'Blue Fur Disease'). Candida albicans is also frequently encountered in this situation.
Under conditions of poor husbandry adult pet rabbits can develop ventral dermatitis, especially in the caudal region. This is sometimes referred to as "hutch burn" and is sometimes a sequel to diarrhoea. Treatment includes appropriate antibiosis, the improvement of husbandry, especially nutrition, and the correction of the predisposing factors. This condition can lead to fly strike.
Urine scald is said to respond to the application of Opsite®; Smith and Nephew.
