At the weekend my sis-in-law's bunnie died... and im wondering why?
She took him to the vets a few days before because she thought he had fly strike - but no maggots were found. the vet said to keep him inside and clean and to go back in a week.
Well the next day when i had a look at him she showed me the problem - i have never seen anything like it.
At either side of his tail was a circluar patch of skin - no hair, just skin. they were the same size - about the size of a jam jar lid and the skin was red-ish, almost marbled in pattern and the skin was very hard. alot harder than the skin on your feet.
are these pressure sores? infection? is it part of a skin disease?
He was quite chunky for a medium bunny, lionhead cross and was quite fluffy, male and neutered.
please help
