Sore on skin

Hi, I've got two bunny sisters who generally get on well, though one likes to think that she is the boss I think (Pip). I've just noticed that her sister (Pepper) has got a real sore patch at the back of her neck. Not a bite as they never fight, but I think as a result from manic washing from Pip. I am wondering what to put on this, as it looks so sore (it is a small patch by the way) but also if the washing will stop as suddenly as it has started. They have done it the other way around too in the past but Pip had a bald patch, not a very sore looking sore. Many thanks in advance for any advice!!
 
Without being able to see the sore area it is totally impossible to say what it may be or what may help as far as treatment goes

If it is inflamed and sore it may well be infected. Your only option is to get her examined by your Vet and then the appropriate treatment can be given

If she has had any injections/vaccinations in recent weeks that could have set off a local skin reaction.

Wow! she had the VHD vaccination last week! Didn't have a reaction at all last year but could be. Many thanks, will have to investigate.
