Question
hi
i have a 2  yea old dutch cross rabbit and ive recently started noticing small white scabby areas on her skin mainly around her face and upper back her fur seems to fall out in small clumps with the scabs attached, i have a photo of it if needed is this anything to worry about because she doesnt seem bothered about it? She's cared for very well and lives outside in the summer and inside for the winter
thanks

Answer
Dear Sunny,

AllExperts recently changed their format back to their old style, so I think your photo didn't attach properly.  Sorry I can't see it.  :(

But for almost any type of skin problem, here's an overview of the most common causes and their treatments:

You can find a good rabbit vet to help you here:

Hope this will help get her back in good shape.
