Strange hair disease

[haidvash]

Hi there, I got up in the morning and saw that my rabbit hair looked like I would be bundling down here. I'll elaborate a little on the rabbit:

He is two months old
He drinks from a bowl of water and not a bottle

He eats dumplings, vegetables, and hay.

And I've included a video and a picture here and I'd love to help.

I also sent a message to a veterinarian but with the corona epidemic, he apparently wasn't working.

here is a video Video of the rabbit

Hi, video link is not working could we have more pictures please?
What vegetables you feed him and what did you mean by dumplings, can you take a pic of them as well?

Hi,
And yes what do you mean by dumplings?

Video is on private or something.

It looks like he fell into the water bowl, and got dirty - rabbit fur doesn't dry well. If he's still wet dry him with a towel as good as possible, and keep him in a warm place sheltered from wind and draft until he's completly dry.

On that picture his eye does look a bit wierd, but anyway, first thing to do is to get him dry asap.

You need to have a google account to see it.

Honestly I see from your pic that this rabbit is very dirty and lives in a very dirty environment, also there are greens all yellow and unsuitable to feed I wouldn't be surprised if he has more health problems there. Ever tried to keep him clean and feed unexpired food?

I'm surprised what you can see in a picture ???
No it isn't that dirty there.
What is suitable to feed depends on what the rabbit is used to. Greens can be perfectly fine if the bunny had it from the start (if not, introducing it at that age really is a risk, stop if there is any sign of runny poop)
Can't see the label of the food bag either.
And that isn't the issue on hand anyway.
I know how easy it is to grumpy on the internet, been there, done that.

I think it’s safe to say that the poor lil guy needs a good washing. Not a full bath, but definitely needs to be wiped down and get that fur nice and white again. Then dry him off as much as possible because rabbit fur doesn’t dry very well on its own.

 

[Preitler]

I would get him dry asap, if you have to rinse the fur because there's same too much dirt or sticky stuff, use lukewarm water, about body temperature and only at the necessary spots. Fur colour alone really doesn't matter now.

He needs a litte wash , like the other people said .
Also , where is he being housed , he looks like he's outside under just metal bars ?
I can see some hay , but whats on the floor looks like flowers?

After thinking about it, something seems off.

It does happen that kits stumble into the water bowl. But then they don't just sit there and do nothing, they shake and lick it off. Also the look, ok, it's just a photo, but he doesn't look well.
Does he act like a normal, 8 week old kit?

For how long do you have him, recently or from birth, did you change anything in his diet? Like giving the ?salad? and grass, if he wasn't used to it before?

Anyway, if he acts, eats and poops normal this post is moot.
If not, him getting wet was just a symptom of something worse.
