Answer
Hi Jennie

Bald patches can be from a many number of things from mild to severe.  The thing that concerns me is that she has had lack of fecal droppings and is making high pitched grunting noises.


I think it is imperative that you get your precious rabbit to a veterinarian that specializes in the care of exotic pets right ways.  They will or should at least be able to determine the underlying cause.  Most rabbits don't scream in pain unless they are on their death beds.

Good luck and I hope that your precious angel gets better soon.

Sincerely,

Pam
