Strange brown spot

Question
Today I noticed my mini lop Mysimo has a fly bite I thought nothing of it but then I noticed above that she has a strange looking spot, its deep brown almost black. It's oval shape about the size of toonie maybe a bit bigger. Can you tell me what this is and if it's something I should be concerned about.

Answer
Hi,

it may not be a fly bite.  It could be something else.  I have no clue what a toonie is.

I would definitely take her in to your regular, good rabbit vet as soon as you possibly can.  I would call them first thing tomorrow and push to get in as soon as you can.  You don't want this festering or infected in a small and delicate animal like a rabbit.  

If you don't have a good regular rabbit vet go here:

and find a House Rabbit Society recommended vet in your area.
