Colour changing bunny

TINKS30ish

Warren Scout
Flower was spayed awhile back, when she came home she had some scabs on one ear, i guess from a drip or something? Anyway when the scab came away it left a chunk missing out of her ear. I didn`t take her back to the vets as the scab had been clean and had looked fine and when it came away, the area was fully healed and it`s not like they could put it back in. Well the fur has grown back now, but it`s white and the rest of her is black. Is this normal and will it always be white now? Thankyou.
 
I don't know officially, but I would guess it's a sign that the follicles have been severely damaged or something similar to stop the pigment forming that causes hair colour? If so, I would say it was permanent. :?
 
My ginger and black girl has white fur spots where she's had scabs form :?

Never really thought anything of it :? :oops:

The same thing happened to my bun with black ears.
To be fair he got a large infected horse fly bite on the ear they put the drip in, when free ranging outside only 1/2 hour before a dental. The infection was probably the trigger with us.

Whenever a needle is put in a vein there is a small risk that it will cause a blood clot to block the vein. This is why a small strip of tissue dies. As said before the pigment cells are lost. Thumper still looks as though he's brushed his ear against white paint a year later.
