Is it safe to use Polysporin for a rabbit?

Answer by  mammakat (11147)

For a very surface, small abrasion or injury, no worries, though I think you are much better off using Bag Balm- you will be amazed at how WELL this old standard works! If he has a larger injury, seeping, discharging, etc, you need your vet to guide you and possibly prescribe antibiotics and topicals meant for a Peter Cottontail.

It might be safe, but it might not be the most effective course of action to take. If your rabbit has a sore or wound you should get an antibiotic cream from your vet to treat it.
