Before raising rabbits, I thought rabbits were easy animals to raise, but after I raised them, I realized it really wasn’t that easy. For example, my friend found that his rabbit was losing hair around the eyes. How should we treat the rabbit?
The rabbit is one of the more suitable animals to keep as a pet, but the rabbit’s hair loss problem is also a concern, especially the rabbit hair loss around the eyes is a problem that many rabbit owners are very concerned about. So now I’m going to answer this question for you. If you find that your rabbit has lost hair around the eyes, you can first observe if there is any redness or swelling in the part of the hair that has fallen out and if there is any skin flakes or scabs. Go online and buy some rabbit medicine to spray. If fungal and mite infections are ruled out, it is possible that the injuries were caused by a fight over territory, so it is best to observe if this phenomenon is present.
In addition to around the eyes, if the hair loss is large and there is no obvious bare skin, that is, the kind of hair may fly all over the house, but the hair loss is relatively uniform, the skin is not red, swollen, crusted, peeling and other lesions, then it should be a seasonal hair change or nutritional hair loss. In this case, it is still necessary to go to the vet for a bacterial test to confirm whether it is a skin disease, and if so, to administer the right medication.
Generally speaking, hair loss on rabbits is easy to distinguish whether it is pathological or physiological. If the hair falls off to bare skin, this is localized hair loss and is obviously a skin disease. If the rabbit loses its hair evenly, there is nothing wrong with it. If you pay attention to the rabbit’s daily nutrition, most of them can recover.
