Bald Patch

[Michaela]

Hey guys, this isn't any of my girls, it's my neighbour's bunny Bubbles (remember he was attacked by a dog not so long ago, he's Pebble and Ebony's daddy)

His owner asked me to take a look at his back, there's a bit of a bald patch, and what looks like a thick dandruff on the skin. When you pullback the fur to look at it's coming away quite easily (the fur). I do realise a picture would be helpful, I'll try to get one.

She asked me to come on here and see if anyone had any idea what this could be. I'm thinking maybe a skin infection of some sort? What do you think?

Thanks!

Yeah it sure looks like fur mites. I'll let her know, seems to be pretty easily treated too.

Hopefully she won't go to the bad vet that treated Berri...:?

Thanks Jim!

Sounds like mites to me. That should be easy to treat. Make sure she treats the environment as well..
