    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

hubby and i were brushing little moe this afternoon, he hadn;t been brushed for a while so tons of fluff came off him, however hubby then noticed that he had a huge bald spot. he wasn't flinching while being brushed so we don't think, well hope not, that we pulled out that much hair while brushing - it wasn't like we were brushing him for long, or in the same spot.
anyone else's bun suffers from hair loss. other than that he is totally fine, his normal self.
 
Yeah, just the other mth. w/ Bernie. Same thing. They grow back afterward.

The vet did say it could be a parasite, but I don't buy it, and since then, his fur is normal.
 
Yes same thing has happened with Buster before, loads and loads of hair came out and he was left with a bald spot. I believe I have read somewhere that this can happen when they are moulting and it isn't a problem. I think you just have to make sure it isn't scurfy or sore xxx
