Hello,
My rabbit has been slowly going bald for the last 5 months and I was wondering if anyone has herd or seen anything like it before?
He has lots of outstanding health issues which is why nothings been done about it before. A quick overview is:
He has cancer; diagnosed April 2016. He is on one steroid a night at home and also a chemo tablet every 2 weeks at the vets.
When he initially started to loose fur the vet put it down to over grooming and normal coat change and not mites, but due to the steroids he was on his fur doesn't grow back very quickly (example is his ear is still half bald from where he had his operation and they shaved it April last year) so this meant bald patches.
Over the last 5 months they have got larger they started off small on his side by his back legs, and now they are large patches and his back legs are also bald.
This morning I noticed his brother was a little thin on the belly, I am now worried it could be something else.
His brother could just be a coat change now it's getting colder but I thought I would see if anyone else has seen it.
They both go to the vets in a week when Zapp goes for his normal chemo but thought I would try the bunny hive mind in the mean time.
Picture is of Zapp's back legs etc about 3 months ago, it is a lot balder now.
Second is of Merlin his brother's tummy this morning.
Any comments much appreciated
