Lop Eared Bunny - Dry Skin?

22 11:13:26

Question
I have a 9 month old black lop eared bunny. He seems to have developed a case of dry skin. It's only on the top of his head and around his ears. The skin is scaly and flaky, only in patches. It bothers him terribly. I've been adding supplements to his food as well. Any suggestions or what it might be?

Answer
There's several different things it could be.  Having a vet look at him to determine which it is would be best.  

There is information about different skin problems at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabrefs.html#skin if you want to try to determine which he has and what the treatment may be.
