Not without direction from a vet. Savlon antiseptic skin cream is not widely recommended for rabbits. Many people recommend Sudocrem instead, but you should still talk to your special rabbit-savvy vet first. Rabbits are very unique and delicate animals, and most products made for humans, including babies, and even for other pets -- even some made for rabbits! -- are not safe to use.

The other reason you should consult a vet is so you can find out what's wrong and thoroughly discuss treatment and prevention. For instance, if your rabbit has a mild case of sore hocks, an antiseptic skin cream might treat the symptoms and prevent infection, but it probably won't help if the sores are already infected, and it definitely won't address the root issue (e.g. maybe your rabbit is overweight, or the home you've made for her isn't appropriate).
