Thanks guys. I’m just glad it’s in time for this horrible weather.

If any of you remember one of my previous posts, http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?468946-Lop-Rabbit-%91Chub-Rub%92, I am happy to say that Amy’s fur has grown back from her bald patches under her ears. I have no idea why she went bald in the first place, or why it took months to...

I hope it grows back, but unless it gets any bigger or flakier, or seems to affect her eyes and ears, I’ll let it alone for now.

Vet seemed pretty confident that it was just from friction. Said the skin was smooth and healthy. She has a water bottle, not a bowl; dog crate and pen, with time in the living room for couch cuddles in the evening.

Yeah, I didn’t want to do anything without knowing what it was, but wanted to be prepared for mites because of where she goes - and where her fur gets to! It would just be like Amy to be this weird - either an odd vaccine reaction, or an odd fur rubbing place! The vet did say that there is...

Yes, single and no contact with any other animal. The patches turned up a few months ago, after her RVHD1/2 jab. They’re between a twenty pence and fifty pence coins in size, at the base of each ear; I can take pictures later. There was some flaky dandruff a few weeks ago, but it cleared up. The...

Nope; all the muscles seem normal. Inside is perfectly fine, too. She’s a little overweight, but not obese. She is a lop rabbit; sorry if that wasn’t clear. I was slightly hoping it was mites, if only because I wanted her fur to grow back.

So we went to the vets today for Amy’s combi jab and to see about the bald patches at the base of her ears. I was absolutely convinced it would be mites, and was all prepared to get her the meds and decontaminate her whole environment. The vet had a look at the patches and took a skin scraping...

Well, Amy is now as normal as she ever is. Little beggar did me a concern for nothing. I’ll keep an eye on her, but I don’t think we need the vet’s now. Thanks for all the help. I’m so tired.

Just woke up; she’s back to normal, having eaten some more kale and pellets, and doing poos, which seem to range from smaller and darker to normal. She’s begging for treats. Is it possible to have stasis for a few hours, and for it to resolve itself like this? It seemed really bad last night...

I’m going to bed. I’ll update before I call the vet.

She seems mostly back to normal now. What the hell? I’m still taking her to the vet’s tomorrow, but I think I’ll put her back in her cage for now.

She just ate a little kale.

She hasn’t eaten or drunk anything yet, but is tearing up paper. I found a hot water bottle that seems to have helped a little.

Thank you; I wasn’t sure. I’m trying to gently massage her tummy, and I’m going to try and tempt her with some kale and water later. I’ll also get her Snuggle Safe; it’s a cold night. She keeps trying to get comfy. I can hear some gurgling. I’m planning on sleeping next to her on the couch.

Hello. About half past ten tonight, I noticed that while Amy was out, next to me on the couch, she was getting increasingly restless and uncomfortable. She had been absolutely fine up until then, and had last eaten her usual half a tablespoon of pellets at half past five earlier. Worried, I put...

Nope, just under her right ear so far! I did wonder if it could be moulting, because she seems to shed at odd times of the year, but she’s four and never done this before. Could it be dry skin?

Hi all! So a little bit ago this evening, I was petting Amy when I felt behind her right ear a patch of exposed skin. I’ll include pictures, but it’s about an inch big, smooth, pink, with no apparent irritation, swelling, or wound. I can touch it easily with no pain. I can’t see any mites or...

Well, she's done some poos, still not normal looking, and left her pellets alone, but took a couple of treats. Which is very typical for Amy :roll:

Calling back with no improvement. I'll say one thing, she's being a bit naughty, so her attitude is normal. I got some syringe food in her, so if she's not eating normally by the evening, we'll be in tomorrow morning.
