Hair Loss.......

I was asked by a vet at work to see if anyone here has any ideas about a bunny that she has been treating. He is an entire male about 2 yrs old and has suddenly started to loose the fur on his belly. His skin is fine, no hair loss anywhere else and he seems ok apart from a bald belly! I thought possibly he is allergic to his bedding? Or maybe due to hormones? but just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas that I can pass on :D
Thank you
Em
 
Has he been humping something a lot!! :oops: :roll:

Is the skin inflammed? If so is his willy :oops: 'displaced' making him wee up his belly?

I know someone with a male bunny that has pulled out all its fur from its belly and around its bum :(

the vets have told her its stress, the bun did not have a very good life before he came to her.

but she has to put cream from the vet on him everyday
 
Thank you for your replies. I haven't seen the rabbit myself but I don't think the skin is inflammed. I suppose its possible that he has been humping and worn the fur away :oops: I also thought maybe he was nest building and got a bit carried away pulling his fur out :shock:
