Rabbit Missing Fur From Face

I noticed my rabbit has a large chunk of fur missing from her face and the fur around it is matted down. We have 2 rabbits, could the other one have done this too her, or does she have some disease or something? They have been bonded for around a month now and havent had any issues so far, she is normally more submissive. She doesn't seem to be acting any differently or like she is in pain, but it sure looks painful. What should I do?

That looks to be wetness due to drooling. If that's the case, it is usually going to be from a dental issue like overgrown teeth or infection, or it could be a stuck piece of hay causing irritation in the mouth. This will require an experienced rabbit vet doing a dental exam to find the source of the problem, and correcting it.

This is a list of vets considered rabbit savvy, however even then not all of them are the best. So I would advise doing your research and reading reviews, to find the best rabbit vet in your area.

It could be, but it's not connected to her mouth and it seems like its higher up than drooling would be, it's like on the side of her face.

Impossible to see much else from those photos, if you are worried you need to take her to a vet.
