Strange red nose on my rabbit (Solved)

[math341c]

Hello everyone. I have joined this forum as I am seeking advice for a bizarre thing that has happened to my rabbit suddenly.

My rabbit is in a huge cage outside that lays on grass. He is outside now in summer periods, for Hours everyday. And haver never had problems with him before. He is 5 years old.

Suddenly when I took him home today. He got a very red nose and has lost some fur on it. Picture is attached.

Does anyone know what it is. Some calls it fungal infection but I am not sure?

He seems to be happy and his does do not hurt when touching it

I hope someone have some knowledge on this.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Mathias T.

That looks extremely sore! No advice here other than to see a vet unfortunately. It doesn't look fungal but like a specific injury but it's hard to tell from pictures.

Hello thanks for reply. Do you maybe know whether it is a physical injury, infection or allergy?

Looks like an injury but it’s impossible to say for certain from a photo. The tissue damage is similar to that seen when a scab gets knocked off a wound/ myxomatosis nodule before the underlying tissue has fully healed. Are you in the UK? If so has your Rabbit been vaccinated and if so when ?

From the photo it looks as though the left side of his face is swollen, it might just be a ‘trick of the camera’ though. Have you checked him all over for any other injuries/swelling ?

You need to take him to a Vet ASAP as that’s the only way to obtain a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Thanks for the reply, i will take him to the Vet today, she said on the phone when she saw the picture it was a good idea to take a look at him. Thanks for your suggestion.

Update. I was at the Vet today. The doctor said that it is an allergeic/toxic reaction from somr plant. So I have moved his cage in a place where there is only grass. He got some Adrenal-Derived Hormone as a cream to grease his nose the next 7 days. I hope it will be gone.

Thread is here solved.

Thanks for your suggestions.
