Small scab

Crumpet

Crumpet

Young Bun
Hi All!

Just wanting a little bit of guidance. Marble has a small scab in between her shoulder blades, she is not itching and it doesn't seem to be bothering her. She will be going to the vets for her first visit in the next couple of weeks for her injections but is this something I should be more worried about?

She is an indoor bunny and is kept separate from the other 2.

Looks like a puncture wound. Not sure how long you have had her ?

Thanks

Hiya Crumpet :wave:

It looks like a little nip to me??

Could anyone have done that?
 
Hi!

Not that I'm aware of, I haven't attempted any bonding yet due to needing tink here spayed when she's a bit older as she's only 13 weeks, the only thing I think it could be is if she has snagged herself on something.

I just wanted a second opinion incase it were mites or something more sinister. She only has the one spot and like I say, it doesn't seem to be irritating her.

I have her booked in at the vets a week on Saturday for her first jabs and a general health check but I wasn't sure if it looked suspect to take her sooner.

Thanks for your comment x

It could possibly be mites - can you see any 'dandruff' in the fur at all?
