Benji's butt
Heya oh wise ones 
As most of you know benji has bowel issues. For the past couple of months he's been in sposies (no water in the tanks, and enormous amounts of pooy nappies).
Anyway, he keeps rashing from the harshness of the poos... really bad.
Today he is back in MCN BUT every time he wee's, the one tiny bit of rash left absolutely kills him. It's now starting to make him try to hold onto his wee.... he keeps trying to hold in his poos too.
I can't bath him because we're using river water for bathing atm, and I'm worried about infection with him sitting in the water (we only shower, that way no sensitive bits are soaking in the water iykwim).
I've been using medihoney on him, which is usually really fast acting. But not this time.
I'm wondering what fabric I should use for liners instead of the fleece ones he has now... I'm thinking they have abit to do with it. I 've tried the cotton ones as well, but it doesn't draw the wee away like the fleece does, and it sticks to him as soon as it's wet anyway. What other fabric would draw away the wet, but not so much as to make the rash raw?
Any advice? I'm so tired from being up and down al the time from him being upset. He's abit sick atm too with this stupid bug we all have, so I don't think that is helping.
I know I should know all this, but atm my brain is in hospital with the flu.
*if I owe you a PM I will get to it tonight sometime! I'm really sorry, it's been hectic here*
