I have just been checking roger over and giving his nails a trim when i stroked the side of his face i felt what felt like spots on closer inspection i found little scabs i have checked him all over and there only on both cheeks but no where else does anyone have any idea why he has these scabs there but no where else he is not scratching anymore than usual

Thanks
 
Are they amongst his whiskers? Are there any on his genitals? I just posted a thread about syphillis so I have it on the brain now :roll:
 
There just above his whiskers and stop before his ears everywhere else looks as normal
 
Could it just be oil from folicals?...they're not scabs as such, just hard little lumps of black crust which stick around the base of the fur near the skin. Some of my buns get them, but it's never caused any problems.

Hi amy not sure really as they do look like scabs some look abit like dandruff scabs :roll: will you have a look for me when you nxt come over to bring milly back see what you think :D
 
There like a white colour :? I've been feeling all the other rabbits faces and can't feel any on them :? just on roger
 
Some of my buns get these from time to time too. Do they feel like a small whisker shaft? My vets said they were oil/secreations from the sebacious glands and nothing to worry about unless they got itchy or bothered the buns. I try to pick them off if they're not too stuck. :oops:
