Hair loss on Rabbit

Question
My lion head rabbit has hair loss on its back(and soars have formed).I would like to know what it is and how it can be treated. Thank you!!

Answer
Hi,

I can't tell you what it is or how to treat this.  You need to go to a good rabbit vet and have her examined physically, so the vet can figure out what it is, and determine safe and effective treatment for her.  You especially need to get your bunny in because of the sores and the high risk they will get infected and require more treatment.

If you don't have a good rabbit vet go here (not any old vet is a good rabbit vet):

to find a House Rabbit Society recommended vet near you.
