PIC of skin condition - I don't know what this is. please help

[slacker]

I need help.
First I noticed that Albert's nose was crusty. Then lately this crusty appearance has quickly spread throughout his face. I need to identify what the problem is so I can have it taken care of.

See pictures below.
(I made sure that the pictures are HUGE and as clear as possible. )

ick, he looks pretty abd though I'm not sure exactly what it is. Has he been to a vet for it? If I were you I'd get him in as soon as possible. His eyes look like they're running white a bit too, and the discharge looks quite white/pussy.

Could be rabbit syphillis, or mange, but i'm not sure. You should get your rabbit to a vet for a proper diagnose.

I was wondering the same about syphillis (if it's that, I think the genitals are supposed to be affected as well)and mange. Either way, that bun requires a vet visit. I hope you can get in soon so that he won't be so uncomfortable for too long.

Whatever it is, it's surely contagious, so keep him away from your other rabbits & wash your hands well after touching him.

Could be mange like others have said, I know pretty much all animals can get it. I just rescued a guinea-pig recently that had it.
Luckily if it is mange its easily treated and inexpensive too.

Not sure what it is, but man, the poor thing! Keep us posted!

It's not myxi and it doesn't look quite right for syphilis. I would say either mange or just standard mites that have resulted in a skin infection.

A vet will do a skin scrapping and look under a microscope and they'll be able to see which the bug is causing it and give the appropriate treatment for it.

Had a vet visit today and had a skin scraping looked at with a microscope and found no mites.

The Doctor suggested that it some kind of fungal infection which an anti-fungal spray was prescribed. I hope this helps.
