My male rabbit is about 3-4 years old.Within the past year I have discovered several strange little darkscab-like things on his skin (these are about 1/2 the size of the headof a match - i.e. quite small) which are attached to the base of smallclumps of hisfur. When I pull at the fur the scabcomesoff also, leaving no mark behind. It is as ifthey are attached to the fur rather than his skin.
Apart from this Ritchie is completely healthy. He has nolesions\cuts\abrasions or any other sign that may have caused theselittle scabs. They were chiefly on his face (his cheeks) buttoday I discovered another one on his left thigh. They arenot visible just from looking at him, but you can feel them when youtouch him.
Please can anyone help me as to what these things are andhowto get rid of them? I have searched the Internet to no availand am at my wits' end. They don't seem toannoyRitchie in the least and he is relatively happy to letme remove them (apart from the discomfort of having hisfurpulled out!) but I really want to send them away.
Even after I remove the majority of them they seem to come backagain. I don't think they are causedby midges oranything like that as this is the only symptom he has. Wehave 1 cat who sometimes has fleas, but again I don't think that is thecause. Maybe it is something to do with his hairfollicles\sebum producing functions?
Please HELP if you have any ideas!!
