The vets shaved Norah's tummy when she had her op done end January. The fur has grown back now but is still patchy; strangely, its fully grown around the scar but there are two bald patches where it doesnt grow at all, you can see the skin and just a bit of fluff. As if the hair follicles are damaged. Is it something to worry about?

Bald patch question
- Thread starter norah
- Start date
helloo, my bunny also had a bald head where he had his op to remove his abscess. His head is very patchy at the min, the scar from where the hole was is covered now with fur but he still has tufts of hair poking out everywhere (it looks quite funny!). But there is also pink bare bits by his neck where no hair has grown at all (it sounds worse than it actualy is!). I wouldn't worry about it im sure it will grow back eventually. 
If you are worried next time you go to the vets just mention about the hair so they can take a quick look at it but i am sure its just a case of some bits growing quicker than others.
