Losing fur......and a dirty chin.

Its Lily Shane.
She seems to be losing fur under her front armpits and along her chest.,
All I can think of is that shes hormonal and pulling but no fur in her room.
Any ideas please??

Also her chin has a hard bit of fur clumped, due to her medicine...(Im no good at giving it unless I have help,:oops::roll:)...
How do I clean it of?? I dont want to snip it.....
Thanks again.
 
She may have ingested the fur.
Is she spayed ?

You can clean her mouth using cooled boiled water and a cosmetic-type cotton wool pad :)
 
Shes not speyed.....several reasons why not.Chronic snuffles mainly but not a healthy bunny by all means.Any other thoughts,Jane or just that??
Did think of the water and cotton wool......brain having delayed reaction!!!:oops::oops::oops:

Hmmm.Just as long as its nothing else more sinister.She has enough to deal with poor wee girl.
Will talk more with Ian but both of us are loathe to spey her as her lungs arent clear currently.
Part of her lung tissue goes up into her kyphosis aswell.
I can see her skin where the fur has gone.....:(
