You cant see it till you part the fur on her shoulder but its there and pink.No dandruff,not bristly..it pure skin...her fur is soft and clean..I say clean, but she fell into her litter corner...Ive cleaned it off with a sponge and warm water.Shes in no pain or appears not to be,lively as a kitten...
Any ideas??
 
I've juat found one on Linus this evening in the same place as lLily's so would be interested in any ideas.
 
Hi there :wave:

My buster has been to her vets a couple of times with a bald patch she has had under her chin which is exactly as u describe, no redness,flakiness or soreness, jus pure skin. It has turned out to be over grooming, maybe this is a possibility if ur bunny is bonded?
 
Perhaps Selma is being a bit too thorough in her grooming of him. Luckly he has a mullet to act as a comb-over!
 
How did you get on at the vets?

I was wondering how you got on at the vets? Only I have the same problem with my boy bunny. He first lost fur on his back just behind his ears, after visiting the vet we put this down to a reaction to VHD injection. It cleared up and he was fine. Then last time I took him for injection the same thing has happened again under his chin. It cleared up but has now come back again, so I am now worried it is something else.
