Last week I noticed a small patch of hair loss on my bunny's back and when I looked closer it looked like a white scab/dandruff so I took her to the vets, she said it could be mites so put a drop of oinment which soaks into the skin to kill them off, she has to go back in 2 weeks to have the same again.
Today I've also noticed a very tiny round bump just next to where it was - does anyone know what this could be? she lets me touch it and it doesn't seem to be bothering her.
How do bunny's get mites? Apparently it might be from her hay. I feel so awful that its from something I gave to her - but what can you do?! She is a house bunny with a very clean cage so I'm not sure what else I can do to prevent her getting mites again.
Can they be really dangerous? I've read somewhere that some types can be.
