Rabbit Hair Loss?!?!?
Okay,so my rabbit is about 3-3 and a half years old. he lives in a shed inside,so he is not outside any of the time. i have noticed that he has lost hair and the skin has gone really red on the one side of his nose and underneath,too. I looked again today to check again,and it seems like there is a little patch of fur that is on the nose,so it looks like the hair around that has fallen out. it is really red and i was wondering why it is like that?should i take him to the vets. he is a male rabbit by the way.

I would recommend taking him to a vet. It could be some type of skin problem especially since you said his skin was getting red. I have owned several rabbits and the only time one ever lost its hair was one female and she was pregnant. Female rabbits use their hair to make a nest. However, since your is a boy, I'm sure that isn't the case. Hope this helps!

If he's in a twine enclosure, make constructive there's a timber or fiber mat in there he can sit down on so he does not get sore. If no fleas or mites, yet another ingredient would desire to be inflammation around the butt, inflicting intense licking. in case you spot numerous concentrated cleansing on that section, take him in to the vet and view for discomfort, urinary tract problems, or loose bowels. My wager is that the urinary ingredient is maximum in all probability.

This could be a a few things.. It could possibly be a skin problem, ring worm (which is contageous), or a type of fur/skin mite. Take it to the vets to be on the safe side. :)
