hello - my new boys were due to have the chop tomorrow, but my son is going into hospital for an operation for two days so they are being done next Tuesday. The reason I am posting is i have today noticed a few small areas on the rabbits where the fur has gone and they look a bit scabby. Could this possibly be some kind of fungal? I have experienced lice's and mites before with my gps, but i have always treated them so they never got to the stage where you could see scabs as I have always kept on top of it. I have tried several times to take pictures but my phone wont pick the pictures up so they are useless. I have tried looking closer at them, but as they came from a place not being handled and cared for they wont let me hold them. I cant get them to the vets as we are leaving for the hospital first thing in the morning and wont be home until Friday evening (OH is going to fed them so they wont be on their own, but he wont take them to the vets as I always deal with the animals). If they have some sort of fungal would it look like an area of missing fur (but its only slightly) and then a scab over it? I have moved them into their 7 ft x 4 ft enclosure in the spare bedroom and they havent been fighting.
Many thanks if you can help and if i make sense.
