QuestionMy dwarf lop rabbit has developed a bold patch around his lef eye. He doesnt seem too upset about this but im concerned and confused as to why and how he has this....Please help!!??
AnswerDear Daniel,
You can read about the most common causes of abnormal fur loss in rabbits (and their treatment) here:
www.bio.miami.edu/hare/furloss.html
If the area is a bit crusty, it could be mange. If the fur is falling out due to tears running down the cheek and burning the skin, it could be early signs of a tear duct blockage. In either case, a good rabbit vet can help you treat the problem:

Hope this helps.
