[Gpdd] Health: allergy?

[Lydia Boland]

I know that when I was giving our bunny Hazel Baytril and other 
injections she developed a scab in one place.  Our bunny Benjamin used 
to get a shot of Pen-g everyday and every so often he would get scabs.  
I don't think it's an allergy but more just being sensitive.  It's 
actually fairly common but you just want to be careful and make sure it 
doesn't turn into an abscess.  Since Lucy's bumps have already 
flattened out you don't have to worry.  We're so glad Lucy survived her 
bloat.  That is a scary thing to go through but now you are prepared if 
it happens again.

Take care,

Lydia
