Rabbit spots?

When I got Fleur she wasn't in the best condition she had bites, cuts and these spots all over her. Vet saw them right after I got her and wasn't sure what they were. They all cleared up and she was fine until she had to spend overnight at a vets for something else unrelated when I got her back she had a few spots again - they're normally on her face/nose anyway they cleared up again.

But she's got one again I noticed it earlier I've attached a picture it's probably hard to see it just looks like a white dot of fur missing but there is a small lump there - does anyone know what these could be?

Could they be scars from the previous spots that you haven't noticed before?

Or perhaps there may be some residual bacteria from when she first got bitten/cut, and when her immune system is challenged (e.g. a vet trip) it causes the spots to flare up?

I'm interested in what others have to say... Fleur is absolutely gorgeous by the way! :love:

Yea maybe... She was stressed out Saturday - guy came to fix an outdoor hutch and there was a lot of banging and drilling and she was roaming around the garden - had to pick her up and get her inside (doesn't sound like much but she really spooked herself) I feel like stress is a factor but still not sure what they really are. They are definitely not old ones tho.

And thank you, she's a proper lap bunny compared to my other two :) x

Not that I've noticed... The best way I can describe it is a little lump appears - tiny almost like a human spot - it doesn't get a head or anything though and the hair where it is either falls out? Or due to the tiny lump it's almost separates the hair a little? And you see her white skin (her fur isn't as dense as the other two rex bunnies-even though she has the rex type fur I don't actually know what she is) it's very odd
