its like a white crust stuck to his fur & skin ,i couldnt get very good photos,i tried to get it off a few times,but he ran off :-( it must be hurting for me to touch the area, as hes a friendly bunny & never usually runs off, bit upset really. when i had them neutered i wasnt impressed with my vets either, pan had fur missing on his ear when i got them back :(

Regards,

Josh
 
Whereabouts is that patch? Is it where the spot on was applied to get rid of the fleas? Has the rabbit had any injections recently?
