My little brown dwarf has little scabs all over it..


I has three rabbits

The other two are free of scabs

I don't want my fivey (angora) Covered in scabs much or my other dwarf


Would this be the cause of flees, he hasn't had them long?


If it is these flees that cause, (if it has them) why wouldn't the others have signs of them




I wash angora once a week never had any signs of them

ANd they don't Scratch like they have flees?


Could he have gotten into an ant bed?
 
You need to get your little one to a Vet sooner rather than later. If you go quickly then you can get treatment for whatever it is and this may prevent your other two Rabbits from getting whatever it is.

We can't really say what the cause would be but a vet could :)
 
I'd say take him to the vets to get an opinion, just in case.

When you say you wash him every week what do you use? It could be a product you're using or even just water drying out his skin? I just think that because you say he's the only one with the scabs therefore if he's the only one who gets a weekly wash that could be the cause, rabbits have really sensitive skin.

I hope you work out the problem and he gets better soon :)

I wash the angora.. He is free of the spots, an I use as oatmeal based shampoo on him

I took the two dwarfs off the street (free to good home) and I might not keep them too long

Even if you are not keeping them that long you should get the vet to look at the problem.

Will someone else rehome them for you, a friend?

Ah ok, I should learn to read :lol:

I don't know what it could be, either something not really problematic or something that could make him go downhill and need emergency treatment fast, but unfortunately only a vet would be able to say :(

Although the other two buns don't seem affected yet it's possible that they may become affected soon if it is contagious (again only way to find out if it is is the vets :() and then you'd end up with three poorly rabbits all needing treatment, so it may be cheaper for you (and better for all the bunnies' healths) if you get whatever is wrong with the one boy sorted just in case it does spread.

I hope it turns out to be nothing serious.
