fur loss

Hi, I believe my rabbit has fur mites. As of right now, the vet is extremely busy and it will be a while before they can take us in. I just want to know if anyone has used DE on their rabbit since I’ve seen a couple of people do that before. My rabbit lives alone so I believe it came from hay...

Hi! I am new to this forum. I had a sweet little bunny boy named Alfie but he passed away in 2021. About 2 weeks ago I got a pair of bonded bunnies: Lily (the mother, grey) and Moo (her son, white with grey spots). They are both around 2 years old but obviously Lily is slightly older. This...

Hi guys. I'm back again with Alice and she's still drooling all over her face. (See my previous 2 threads for context.) Now she's losing fur too and it's happening more often. I tried switching to a water bottle. I tried eliminating treats and decreasing pellets to like a tablespoon. I tried...

Recently I've noticed one of my rabbits shedding a lot in a short line down her back. I was grooming her and saw a lot of dandruff and some scabbing (I'm wondering maybe from her biting at her back since she has thick fur?). I thought it was only her, but after looking at my other rabbits I...

Hey! Just wanna ask if it's normal for a female rabbit to lose fur on her neck? She's a year old now. Eating and drinking well. Very active too. Thanks for your replies!

Hello, I am a first time rabbit owner and I have a 3-4 weeks old baby rabbit named samantha. Recently I realised that the top of her hind legs have red, dry and swollen sore/bump(?), not too sure how to describe it. She is still running normally and jumping around as usual and when I touch the...

Hello! I was petting my lionhead rabbit when I noticed that she has a bald spot on her upper back with red scabs. She lives with our other bunny. I looked at him and I didn't see any spots similar to this. What could this be? Is she yanking her fur hard or could it be a bug bite? I do notice...

Bunny pulling out fur Hi guys, My bunny is 3 years old and had a little case of a messy poop that got stuck to his fur. His poop has been normal since and I tried my best to get the poop that was stuck out (bum baths). His behaviour is completely normal, hopping around, eating and drinking...

Hi! i noticed my bunny has a weird line of fur loss going down his back. Is this normal or a cause for concern? What causes this? I attached a pic so you guys can see what I mean. Not a good pic but ok for references sake... please let me know what this and what it is coming from. All advice...

Incase anyone thinks of mites - I've already thought about mites being a possibility but he seems to have none of the symptoms I've researched and otherwise seems like a normal healthy bunny. Anyway basically he's moulting very strangely this summer. All previous years he's moulted his fur has...

My doe had babies and she cannot nurse them because that caused her to get ill, which means I have been syringe feeding them formula. I use KMR milk with heavy cream for them, but for two of the babies they make a mess and the milk/formula gets all over their fur. I try to rinse it off but they...

Hi guys, I have a 1 year old girl and 3 year old boy bunny who are both desexed. We have been trying to bond them and things have been going really well (they flop together, they groom each other, they hang out side by side together etc.) They are still separated overnight with a play pen, but I...

About a month ago I was petting my bunny and notice that his skin felt kinda weird. When I lifted his fur to see what’s up with his skin it was all rough and felt like scabs or something. I’m not sure how to describe it. But I thought it was cuz maybe he hurt himself and a scab was forming and...

Hi, This morning I accidentally gave my rabbit an overdose in ringworm medicine. After I gave him the medicine he still seemed to be acting fine, and didn't seem to have any symptoms (yet). I'm hoping he'll stay hydrated and drink lots of water so the powder will absorb in his system. I'll also...

My bunny has been itching his skin and ears (mostly ears & shaking head) for a few weeks but the vet said it was nothing cause he didn’t have brown crust or any other visible sign. In the past few days I’ve been seeing some suspicious dandruff looking flakes on his fur (sometimes on forehead or...

I searched the forum for an answer so I’m sorry if this is a repeat question! My bun recently got sick and his eye was very runny, the meds are fully kicked in now and we have been working at cleaning all the gunk out but the fur is pulling out completely when we are pulling it apart (gently of...

I have a 3 year old indoor Holland lol rabbit who I noticed recently is balding and reddened irritation right above the tail with dandruff and patchy hair where I suppose it’s trying to grow back in. It’s not a large area, and he doesn’t have it anywhere else on his body. I’m currently in...
