If any of you remember one of my previous posts, http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?468946-Lop-Rabbit-%91Chub-Rub%92, I am happy to say that Amy’s fur has grown back from her bald patches under her ears. I have no idea why she went bald in the first place, or why it took months to grow back, but we’re back to as normal as we ever get.

My late Black Velvet developed bald ears for what also seemed like no reason. The skin where her fur used to be was not red or otherwise irritated and she did not scratch or rub her ears. It was only after she had surgery for an unrelated item that she started to get fur on her ears again. I am glad Amy got her fuzzy ears back too.

Normal is very much over-rated, IMHO !! :lol:
Glad to hear that Amy's fur has grown back OK xx

Coincidentally one of my rabbits has this at the moment - no idea what the cause is! Not bald all over the ear, but a good bit of it :shock:
